Holocene human migrations in Africa: a male perspective
Early Holocene was characterised by a worldwide climatic amelioration (12-5 kya), which led to the formation of the Green Sahara in Africa. In a previous project, in order to understand the effects of this fertile environment in the peopling of Africa, we deep-sequenced ~ 3.3 Mb in 104 Y chromosomes belonging to four trans-Saharan haplogroups and identified 5,966 mutations.
