Coalesecent analysis of the MTMR8 tree in Sub-Saharan Africa.

<p>The time scale in thousands of years is calculated using 7.5 My (internal left scale) or 6 My (external left scale) of sequence divergence between human and chimpanzee lineages. Numbering of mutations and haplotypes is the same as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0080710#pone-0080710-g001" target="_blank">fig. 1</a> and <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0080710#pone-0080710-t001" target="_blank">table 1</a>. Note that a Levantine chromosome carrying haplotype 23 was included in this analysis.
