Mitochondrial DNAs from 147 people, drawn from five geographic populations have been analysed by restriction mapping. All these mitochondrial DNAs stem from one woman who is postulated to have lived about 200,000 years ago, probably in Africa. All the populations examined except the African population have multiple origins, implying that each area was colonised repeatedly.
对来自五个地理群体的147人的线粒体DNA进行了限制性图谱分析。所有这些线粒体DNA都源于一名推测生活在约20万年前、可能在非洲的女性。除非洲群体外，所有接受检测的群体都有多个起源，这意味着每个地区都曾被多次殖民。
