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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, I agree. Gene flow occurs through generations. By studying specie allele frequencies, we can predict the human migratory patterns in prehistory and history. Studies have used specific genes/chromosomes/ mitochondrial DNA to trace the evolutionary history and migratory patterns of humans the project is known as the Human Genographic Project
