Use of Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA population structure in tracing human migrations
PA Underhill, T Kivisild - Annu. Rev. Genet., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Well-resolved molecular gene trees illustrate the concept of descent with modification and
exhibit the opposing processes of drift and migration, both of which influence population …

Mitochondrial DNA signals of late glacial recolonization of Europe from near eastern refugia
Human populations, along with those of many other species, are thought to have contracted
into a number of refuge areas at the height of the last Ice Age. European populations are …

Gene flow from North Africa contributes to differential human genetic diversity in southern Europe
Human genetic diversity in southern Europe is higher than in other regions of the continent.
This difference has been attributed to postglacial expansions, the demic diffusion of …

The archaeological and genetic foundations of the European population during the Late Glacial: implications for 'agricultural thinking'
This article presents the initial results from the S2AGES data base of calibrated radiocarbon
estimates from western Europe in the period 25,000–10,000 years ago. Our aim is to present …
