Ancient DNA and Human Evolution
... Brenna Henn, Stony Brook University Over twenty-five years ago, geneticists sequenced mitochondrial DNA from a diverse sample of human populations and hypothesized that all humans have a common origin in Africa 200,000 years ago. The broad outlines of this hypothesis remain remarkably unaltered, but ...

Yet, biological evolution is far more than change over time—it involves descent through genetic inheritance. When we think about how evolution occurs, we can consider it on different scales.

Human genetic clustering

Human genetic clustering analysis uses mathematical cluster analysis of the degree of similarity of genetic data between individuals and groups in order to infer population structures and assign individuals to groups. These groupings in turn often, but not always, correspond with the individuals' self-identified geographical ancestry. A similar analysis can be done using principal components analysis, which in earlier research was a popular method. Many studies in the past few years have continued using principal components analysis.
