CONCLUSIONS Bantu populations from Central Africa are very homogeneous, whilst Pygmy populations seem to be quite diverse. Bantu populations are statistically different from Pygmy populations Evidence of possible admixture events between Pygmy and Bantu populations, pointing towards a Bantu-to-Pygmy flow of paternal lineages No evidence of the Fang population or any of the Bantu populations in our sample set having an origin other than Bantu
