  • The West African Ethnicity of the Enslaved in Jamaica

    Simon P Newman, Simon Newman et al.ARTICLESlavery and Abolition2013Citada por: 4

    The African ethnicity of New World slaves was highly significant for the transmission of African social, cultural and religious beliefs and practices. This study employs the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis of present-day Jamaicans in order to assess the ethnic origins of their enslaved female ancestors (males, including white overseers and masters, do not contribute to mtDNA). The evidence suggests that the Gold Coast was the largest single so…

  • The Expansion of mtDNA Haplogroup L3 within and out of Africa

    Open AccessPedro Soares, Farida Alshamali et al.ARTICLEMolecular Biology and Evolution2012

    Although fossil remains show that anatomically modern humans dispersed out of Africa into the Near East ∼100 to 130 ka, genetic evidence from extant populations has suggested that non-Africans descend primarily from a single successful later migration. Within the human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) tree, haplogroup L3 encompasses not only many sub-Saharan Africans but also all ancient non-African lineages, and its age therefore provides an upper boun…

  • The Phylogeny of the Four Pan-American MtDNA Haplogroups

    Open AccessAlessandro Achilli, Ugo A Perego et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2008

    Only a limited number of complete mitochondrial genome sequences belonging to Native American haplogroups were available until recently, which left America as the continent with the least amount of information about sequence variation of entire mitochondrial DNAs. In this study, a comprehensive overview of all available complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genomes of the four pan-American haplogroups A2, B2, C1, and D1 is provided by revising the i…

  • Single, Rapid Coastal Settlement of Asia Revealed by Analysis of Complete Mitochondrial Genomes

    Open AccessVincent Macaulay, Catherine Hill et al.ARTICLEScience2005

    A recent dispersal of modern humans out of Africa is now widely accepted, but the routes taken across Eurasia are still disputed. We show that mitochondrial DNA variation in isolated “relict” populations in southeast Asia supports the view that there was only a single dispersal from Africa, most likely via a southern coastal route, through India and onward into southeast Asia and Australasia. There was an early offshoot, leading ultimately to the…

  • Shipwrecks and founder effects

    Open AccessAntonio Salas, Martin B Richards et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2005Citada por: 9Referências: 11

    During the period of the Atlantic slave trade (15th–19th centuries), millions of people were forced to move from Africa to many American destinations, changing dramatically the human landscape of the Americas. Here, we analyze mitochondrial DNA from two different American populations with African ancestry, with hitherto unknown European and Native American components. On the basis of historical records, African‐Americans from Chocó (Colombia) and…

  • Phylogeography of mitochondrial DNA in western Europe

    Open AccessMartin B Richards, Vincent Macaulay et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Genetics1998

    For most of the past century, prehistorians have had to rely on the fossil and archaeological records in order to reconstruct the past. In the last few decades, this evidence has been substantially supplemented from classical human genetics. More recently, phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences that incorporate geographical information have provided a high‐resolution tool for the investigation of prehistoric demographic events, such as founder ef…
