摘要: The Mediterranean Sea has long been one of the most important and crowded natural hubs for expansion human genes cultures, representing a tri-continental crossroads migrations since first dispersals anatomically modern humans out Africa. Both its ancient history, with amazing chronicle biological cultural transitions, substantially influenced current patchwork anthropological types existing within this area. For deep dissection patchwork, Anthropological Genetics combines information related to population dynamics able shape genetic structure populations (i.e. geographical constraints, language, cultural, social political barriers) those provided by powerful tools molecular biology genetics. This comprehensive approach allows trace profiles into past discover reconstruct their origins demographic histories, as well evolutionary relationships. Nevertheless, landscape is far from being exhaustively drawn. Several projects, basing on an even deeper characterization dense accurately selected geographic samples, have just launched promise shed new light pivotal role basin barrier and/or bridge between groups characterized different African, Near Eastern or European backgrounds.
