Reconstructing Native American population history

David Reich, +75 more
- 16 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the initial peopling followed a southward expansion facilitated by the coast, with sequential population splits and little gene flow after divergence, especially in South America.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autosomal, mtDNA, and Y-Chromosome Diversity in Amerinds: Pre- and Post-Columbian Patterns of Gene Flow in South America

TL;DR: Admixture analysis of the Colombian populations suggests an asymmetric pattern of mating involving mostly immigrant men and native women, and the concordance of these estimates does not support an important difference in migration rates between the sexes throughout the history of South Amerinds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsatellites provide evidence for Y chromosome diversity among the founders of the New World

TL;DR: The hypothesis of a single-founder Y haplotype for Amerinds is evaluated by using 11 Y-specific markers in five Colombian Amerind populations to demonstrate the existence of at least two Amerind founder haplotypes, one of them largely restricted to Native Americans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corrigendum: Reconstructing Native American population history

TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the method used to derive the H2O2 “spatially aggregating force” is based on a two-step process, not a single step, like in the previous version of this paper.
