Comment on "Genetic Structure of Human Populations"

Rosenberg et al . ( [1][1] ) described the genetic structure of 52 human populations from five continents studied at 377 short tandem repeat (STR) loci. This high-resolution study demonstrated that, using multilocus information only, the individuals of these populations could be subdivided into five
