Gene flow occurs through generations. Gene flow can occur across language barriers in humans. If we have a technique of measuring specific allele frequencies in different population of the world, can we not predict human migratory patterns in pre-history and history ? Do you agree of disagree ? Provide explanation to your answer.

Verified by Experts

Yes, I agree. Gene flow occurs through generations. Studies under Human Genographic Project, the scientists, by studying specific allele frequencies of specific genes/chromosomes/mitochondrial DNA, have traced the human migratory patterns and evolutionary trend in pre-history and history
