The T Allele of a Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism 13.9 kb Upstream of the Lactase Gene (LCT) (C−13.9kbT) Does Not Predict or Cause the Lactase-Persistence Phenotype in Africans
Charlotte A. Mulcare,Michael E. Weale,Abigail L. Jones,Bruce Connell,David Zeitlyn,Ayele Tarekegn,Dallas M. Swallow,Neil Bradman,Mark G. Thomas +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the C-13.9kbT polymorphism is not a predictor of lactase persistence in sub-Saharan Africans, and Y-chromosome data is presented that is consistent with previously reported evidence for a back-migration event into Cameroon.

Bruce Connell,D. Robert Ladd +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a controlled investigation of pitch realisation in Yoruba was carried out to shed light on some of these unknown or uncertain matters by the controlled investigation in the language.
Journal ArticleDOI
Little genetic differentiation as assessed by uniparental markers in the presence of substantial language variation in peoples of the Cross River region of Nigeria
Krishna R. Veeramah,Bruce Connell,Naser Ansari Pour,Adam Powell,Christopher A Plaster,David Zeitlyn,Nancy R. Mendell,Michael E. Weale,Neil Bradman,Mark G. Thomas,Mark G. Thomas +10 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to show that at very fine geographic/linguistic scales language differences can be maintained in the presence of substantial gene flow over an extended period of time and demonstrates the value of dense sampling strategies and having DNA of known and detailed provenance when investigating sub-Saharan African demographic processes using genetic data.
