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

TL;DR: This study reports the frequencies of 23 Y-chromosome biallelic polymorphism haplotypes in 1,935 men from 49 Eurasian populations, with a particular focus on Central Asia.

TL;DR: It is reported that the variant CD45 C77G allele is absent in African populations and it is shown that populations living in the Pamir mountains of Central Asia have a very high prevalence of the C 77G variant.
