We surveyed nine diallelic polymorphic sites on the Y chromosomes of 1,544 individuals from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the New World. Phylogenetic analyses of these nine sites resulted in a… Expand
Paternal population history of East Asia: sources, patterns, and microevolutionary processes.
