    • The Afro-Asiatic and Nilo-Saharan language families come into contact in Western Ethiopia. [...] Key Result Analysis of mitochondrial DNA extracted from Nyangatom and Daasanach archival sera revealed high levels of diversity, with most sequences belonging to the L haplogroups, the basal branches of the mitochondrial phylogeny.Expand Abstract
