InitialExpansionMitogenome.PNG (257 × 297 pixels, file size: 8 KB, MIME type: image/png)

This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “InitialExpansionMitogenome.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
Description
English: Map was cropped to show Southern Africa. The regions of Africa with the deepest mitochondrial DNA diversity are shown in Green, while those enriched in L0d and L0k are shown in light brown. The approximation of the boundaries of the green areas come from Gonder et al., Whole mtDAN genome sequences analysis of Ancient African lineages. Mol. Biol. & Evol 24 (2006) 757-768 (see Supplimentary materials for peoples and types)

The date for the migration into brown circled region comes from Behar et al., "The Dawn of human Matrilineal Diversity", AJHG 82 doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2008.04.002.

Note: The map is mislabelled, "144,000 kya" should be either "144,000 ybp" or "144 kya". The specific figure "144" is not substantiated in the reference given; it is an oddly specific figure picked from within the 95% CI. Behar et al. state: "Both the tree phylogeny and coalescence calculations suggest that Khoisan matrilineal ancestry diverged from the rest of the human mtDNA pool 90,000-150,000 years before present (ybp)", which might best be expressed by something like "120±30 kya".

The area indicated for the localization of L0 in Behar et al. (fig. 2) also only roughly corresponds to the area shown here; it includes all of Southern Africa, from about the northern border of Namibia to the cape, with a center close to the northern border of South Africa, i.e. it does not include the southernmost part of Southern Africa as suggested here.
