Geographic distribution of deep-rooting haplogroups in the African continent. Map of Africa showing schematically the present-day home ranges of the MSY haplogroups discussed in the text (redrawn from Chiaroni et al. [2009], with modifications and updates based on haplogroup frequencies reported in Supplemental Table S7). Colors are as in Figure 2, and their intensity does not reflect haplogroup frequencies in the corresponding populations. Haplogroup B2, ubiquitous in sub-Saharan Africa, was omitted.
