Sex-specific genetic data favor a specific variant of the oral history of the kingdom of Nso' (a Grassfields city-state in Cameroon) in which the royal family traces its descent from a founding ancestress who married into an autochthonous hunter-gatherer group. The distributions of Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA variation in the Nso' in general and in the ruling dynasty in particular are consistent with specific Nso' marriage practices, suggesting strict conservation of the royal social class along agnatic lines. This study demonstrates the efficacy of using genetics to augment other sources of information (e.g., oral histories, archaeology, and linguistics) when seeking to recover the histories of African peoples.
特定性别的基因数据支持了恩索王国（喀麦隆草原地区的一个城邦国家）口述历史的一种特定变体，在该变体中，王室追溯其血统至一位嫁给当地狩猎采集群体的开国女祖先。总体而言，恩索人群体尤其是统治王朝中Y染色体和线粒体DNA变异的分布与恩索特定的婚姻习俗一致，这表明王室社会阶层沿父系血统得到严格传承。这项研究证明，在试图还原非洲民族历史时，利用遗传学补充其他信息来源（如口述历史、考古学和语言学）是有效的。
