Journal ArticleDOI
Y chromosome sequence variation and the history of human populations
Peter A. Underhill,Peidong Shen,A. A. Lin,Li Jin,Giuseppe Passarino,Wei-Hsien Yang,Kauffman E,Batsheva Bonne-Tamir,Jaume Bertranpetit,Paolo Francalacci,Muntaser E. Ibrahim,Trefor Jenkins,Kidd,S.Q. Mehdi,Mark Seielstad,R. S. Wells,Alberto Piazza,Ronald W. Davis,Marcus W. Feldman,Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza,Peter J. Oefner +20 more
TL;DR: Binary polymorphisms associated with the non-recombining region of the human Y chromosome (NRY) preserve the paternal genetic legacy of the authors' species that has persisted to the present, permitting inference of human evolution, population affinity and demographic history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of European Mtdnas from an Analysis of Three European Populations
Antonio Torroni,Kirsi Huoponen,Paolo Francalacci,M. Petrozzi,Laura Cornelia Clotilde Morelli,Rosaria Scozzari,Rosaria Scozzari,Domenica Anna Obinu,Marja-Liisa Savontaus,Douglas C. Wallace +9 more
TL;DR: The conclusion that most haplogroups observed in Europe are Caucasoid-specific, and that at least some of them occur at varying frequencies in different Caucasoid populations, is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetic legacy of Paleolithic Homo sapiens sapiens in extant Europeans: a Y chromosome perspective.
Ornella Semino,Ornella Semino,Giuseppe Passarino,Giuseppe Passarino,Peter J. Oefner,Alice A. Lin,Svetlana Arbuzova,Lars Beckman,Giovanna De Benedictis,Paolo Francalacci,Anastasia Kouvatsi,Svetlana A. Limborska,Mladen Marcikiæ,Anna Mika,Barbara Mika,Dragan Primorac,A. Silvana Santachiara-Benerecetti,Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza,Peter A. Underhill +18 more
TL;DR: A significant correlation between the NRY haplotype data and principal components based on 95 protein markers was observed, indicating the effectiveness of NRY binary polymorphisms in the characterization of human population composition and history.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The present study shows that the dissection of mtDNA variation into small and well-defined evolutionary units is an essential step in the identification of spatial frequency patterns, and promises to be an efficient strategy for inferring features of human prehistory.
Journal ArticleDOI
