Question
In March 2013, the American Journal of Human
Genetics published a report that an AfricanAmerican man who submitted his genome for
commercial genealogical analysis had a Y chromosome whose sequence was very different from that
of other Y chromosomes that had been characterized previously. The investigators then found that
certain males among the Mbo (an ethnic group in
Cameroon) shared many of the polymorphisms first
found in this African-American man. How do you
think these findings would have altered estimates of
when a man carrying the MRCA for the human Y
chromosome would have lived on the earth?
