{pdf} Human Mitochondrial DNA and the Evolution of Homo sapiens (Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology, 18) Hans-J?rgen Bandelt, Martin Richards & Vincent Macaulay (Eds.)

Mitochondrial DNA is one of the most closely explored genetic systems, because it can tell us so much about the human past. This book takes a unique perspective, presenting the disparate strands that must be tied together to exploit this system. From molecular biology to anthropology, statistics to ancient DNA, this first volume of three presents a comprehensive global picture and a critical appraisal of human mitochondrial DNA variation.
