Archaeogenetics of Africa and of the African hunter-gatherers
Original language description
This contribution is a synoptic view of the genetic history of the African hunter-gatherers. The ancestral population of these peoples colonized most of the world long before the invention of agriculture. The first successful migration from Africa to Eurasia was dated to 65,000 years ago but at the same time there have been other migrations within the Africa. They can be documented by high-resolution analyses of sub-Saharan mtDNA haplogroups. Today, the African foragers differ from their sedentary neighbours in many aspects. For example, due to interrupted gene flow among their sub-populations they show signs of demographic contraction. Notwithstanding, still today the gene pool of the African hunter-gatherers contains a remarkably high number of bothmaternal and paternal lineages that coalesce to the deepest branches of modern human phylogeny.
