This dissertation is divided in three sections and focuses on two of the projects I worked on during my three-years PhD, funded by a European Research Council (ERC) grant LanGeLin. Both the projects share the uniparental markers as tool used for the investigation of the human evolutionary history, but each of them addresses different scientific questions by means of a different combination of molecular and statistical methods. Part I is a technical summary on current knowledge about uniparental markers features and on the pros and cons of their usage for addressing questions stemming from the fields of linguistics and archaeology. Part II summarizes the results of one of the ERC-founded LanGeLin works; here I describe the comparison of p...
