Abstract
The recognition of new Y-chromosome markers represents a major leap in the investigation of human genetic diversity (in male lineages, complementing t he information from female lineages derived from mitochondrial DNA). The re sulting phylogeny supports the out-of-Africa origins of our species and ope ns the way to further insights into prehistoric demography and world prehis tory.
