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.
Contents |
Goals
- Improve Wikipedia's coverage of human genetic history.
- Create guidelines for articles about human genetic history.
Scope
- 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
Guidelines
Typical structure of the article about haplogroup:
==Origins== Some info about origins. ==Subclades== Subclades tree ==Distribution== Info about the distribution by regions and ethnic groups ==Frequency== Frequency table ==Mutation(s)== Technical specifications of SNP and STR mutations ==Modal haplotype(s) == Modal haplotype(s) within the haplogroup according to examples found in populations ==Famous members== List of known members

New articles
Please feel free to list your new Human genetic history-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.
- Genetics of the Ancient World (I added the message box on the page for: Open request for articles + short summaries --see page--)
- Y-DNA haplogroups by ethnic groups
Review and assessment
