Bayesian Coalescent Inference Of Major Human MtDNA Haplogroup Expansions In Africa

Studies of human genetic diversity are revealing an increasingly detailed picture of our first steps towards colonizing the globe. Methods from population genetics can now provide evidence for ancient human population expansions. Here we investigate population expansions within four major human mitochondrial DNA lineages in Africa.
