Fig. 5From: African evolutionary history inferred from whole genome sequence data of 44 indigenous African populationsEffective population size inferred using MSMC. Each line represents the average effective population size per population, and the colors represent language usage, except for the CRHG populations. Here, we assume a mutation rate per generate (v) 1.25 × 10−8 and average generation time (g) 29 years. a–d The effective population size of Khoesan-, Niger-Congo-, Nilo-Saharan-, and Afroasiatic-speaking populationsBack to article page
