Evolution: Modern Synthesis: Introduction. Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species met immediate popularity.

Evolution: Modern Synthesis: Introduction

It sold so well that the publishers undertook a second printing a mere month after the first. However, the ideas contained in Origin were not immediately accepted. World Family Names.

Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup

Africa, harboring the start of the migration, is at the top left and South America at the far right. Migration patterns are based on studies of mitochondrial (matrilinear) DNA. Letters represent haplogroups while colors and numbers represent thousands of years before present. Suggested migratory route of the "Out of Africa" migration according to Mitochondrial DNA In human genetics, a human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup is a haplogroup defined by differences in human mitochondrial DNA.

Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup

In human genetics, a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup is a haplogroup defined by differences in the non-recombining portions of DNA from the Y chromosome (called Y-DNA). It represents human genetic diversity based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the Y chromosome.[1] Y-DNA haplogroups represent major branches of the Y-chromosome phylogenetic tree. Y-chromosomal Adam is the name given by researchers to the patrilineal most recent common ancestor of all living humans at the root of this tree.
