The Arabian Cradle: Mitochondrial Relicts of the First Steps along the Southern Route out of Africa
Original language description
A major unanswered question regarding the dispersal of modem humans around the world concerns the geographical site of the first human steps outside of Africa. The "southern coastal route" model predicts that: the early stages of the dispersal took placewhen people crossed the Red Sea to southern Arabia, but genetic evidence has hitherto been tenuous. We have addressed this question by analyzing the three minor west-Eurasian haplogroups, N1, N2, and X. These lineages branch directly from the first non-African founder node, the root of haplogroup N, and coalesce to the time of the first successful movement of modern humans out of Africa, similar to 60 thousand years (ka) ago. We sequenced complete mtDNA genomes from 85 Southwest Asian samples carryingthese haplogroups and compared them with a database of 300 European examples. The results show that these minor haplogroups have a relict distribution that suggests an ancient ancestry within the Arabian Peninsula, and they most likely sp
