Paleolithic and Neolithic Lineages in the European Mitochondrial Gene Pool

Year: 1997

Type: letter

Abstract: caulay et al. 1997 [in press]).A more extensive pedigree study by Bendall et al. (1996) confirms the orthodox mtDNA mutation rate.We do agree with the comment by Bianchi and Bailliet that more research is needed in order to understand the mutational mechanisms acting on mtDNA and, specifically, on np 16519; for example, it is intriguing that np 16519 is virtually "frozen" in some haplogroups, such as group B in Amerinds and group T in Caucasoids, and in both the Caucasoid and the Amerind branches of group X.
