Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic evidence for a Pleistocene population explosion | Expansions of population size leave characteristic signatures in mitochondrial "mismatch distributions." Consequently, these distributions can inform us about the history of changes in population size. Here, I study a simple model of population history that assumes that, t generations before the pr... | | 1995 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Genetic evidence on modern human origins | A review of genetic evidence leads to the following conclusions concerning human population history: (1) Between 33,000 and 150,000 years ago the human population expanded from an initial size of perhaps 10,000 breeding individuals, reaching a size of at least 300,000. (2) Although the initial popu... | Population history; Mitochondrial DNA; Mismatch distribution; Intermatch distribution; Replacement hypothesis; Population bottlenecks | 1995 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Origins and affinities of modern humans: a comparison of mitochondrial and nuclear genetic data | To test hypotheses about the origin of modern humans, we analyzed mtDNA sequences, 30 nuclear restriction-site polymorphisms (RSPs), and 30 tetranucleotide short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms in 243 Africans, Asians, and Europeans. An evolutionary tree based on mtDNA displays deep African branch... | Base Sequence; Variation (Genetics); Base Sequence | 1995 |
