Abstract
The use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) continues to dominate studies of human genetic variation and evolution. Recent work has re-affirmed the strict maternal inheritance of mtDNA, yielded new insights into the extent and nature of intra-individual variation, supported a recent African origin of human mtDNA, and amply demonstrated the utility of mtDNA in tracing population history and in analyses of ancient remains.
摘要
线粒体DNA（mtDNA）的应用在人类遗传变异与进化研究中依然占据主导地位。近期的研究再次证实了mtDNA严格的母系遗传方式，对个体内变异的程度和性质有了新的认识，支持了人类mtDNA起源于非洲的观点，并充分证明了mtDNA在追溯群体历史和分析古代遗迹方面的实用性。
