High resolution of human evolutionary trees with polymorphic microsatellites

Summary
It is shown that polymorphic microsatellites (primarily CA repeats) allow trees of human individuals to be constructed that reflect their geographic origin with remarkable accuracy by the analysis of a large number of loci for each individual, in spite of the small variations in allele frequencies existing between populations.
