From: The origin of modern North Africans as depicted by a massive survey of mitogenomes
Bayesian Skyline Plot showing the effective population size trends (Ne) of haplogroups found in the dataset of 733 modern and 43 ancient mitogenomes from North Africa. Haplogroups were divided into three groups, according to the three genetic components (as reported in Supplementary Tables S4 and S5) contributing to the North African gene pool, Eu (Eurasian), NA (North African) and SSA (sub-Saharan African). Solid lines are the median estimates obtained by employing the mutation rates proposed by Soares et al.53; the shadings show the highest posterior density limits.
