If so, is it the cause of all structure the presence (or lack) of M and N sublineages (of clear Asian origin) or is there also structure within L(xM,N)? <br /><br />For me, it'd be more interesting to study the "native" African clades to the exclusion of "intrusive" Asian ones and see what structure, if any, exists. For what I know it does seem that there is some regional structure in Africa in general, even if "recent" Bantu and Nilotic migrations have blurred it to a large extent. <br /><br />Also I'd like that this kind of studies would make a difference between The Horn and East Africa proper (Kenya, Tanzania, etc.). It's quite evident that they are distinct regions with rather different genetic make up.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.com
