The Human Genetic History Wiki-Project

Welcome to WikiProject Human Genetic History. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Human genetic history and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

• Improve Wikipedia's coverage of human genetic history.
• Create guidelines for articles about human genetic history.

• The project covers all articles related to human genetic history, including articles about:
  • Human MtDNA and Y-DNA haplogroups
  • Model haplotypes
  • Genetics articles relating to human population genetics or genetic genealogy (examples: SNPs, single tandem repeat, etc.)
  • Other genetic traits that vary among human populations
  • Comparative Anthropoid Evolution.
