摘要: It should be possible to use Y chromosome DNA polymorphisms trace paternal lineages for evolutionary and other studies, but progress in these areas has been slow because it difficult find suitable markers. However, is now selected, slowly evolving draw a rudimentary tree, while more rapidly allow most independent chromosomes distinguished. Different populations often have characteristically different chromosomes, studies are soon likely make major contribution our understanding of the origins modern humans.
