Gene flow occurs through generations. and 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 or disagree? Provide explanation to your answer.

उत्तर
Yes, I agree. Gene flow occurs through generations. By studying specific allele frequencies, we can predict the human migratory patterns in pre-history 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).
