“…In fact, there are two populations of kipunjis, in the Southern Highlands and Ndundulu areas of Tanzania, and their mtDNA is different. The mtDNA of the Southern Highlands specimens nests within that of Papio (Burrell et al, 2009), while the Ndundulu specimens-which probably retain the original kipunji mtDNA-form a sister lineage to this Papio-Rungwecebus clade (Roberts et al, 2010). This suggests that introgressive hybridization has occurred in at least the Southern Highlands kipunji population, presumably involving female baboons and male mangabeys (Zinner et al, 2011).…”

Reticulation was significant in human evolutionary history and continues to influence societies today. Anthropologists and human scientists-whether working on ancient or modern populations-thus need to consider the implications of non-hierarchic evolution, particularly where molecular clocks, mathematical models and simplifying assumptions about evolutionary processes are used. This is not just a problem for palaeoanthropology. The simple fact of different mating systems among modern human groups, for example, may demand that more attention is paid to the potential for complexity in human genetic and cultural histories.

“…Individuals from the Mt Rungwe population carry mitochondrial DNA-sequences that are highly similar to those in south Tanzanian yellow baboons (Zinner et al, 2009b), whereas the Udzungwa Mts population seems not to be affected by baboon introgression (Roberts et al, 2010).…”

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Helix (Pulmonata: Helicidae)

The vast diversity of land snail forms is insufficiently understood even in seemingly familiar taxa. This holds for Helix Linnaeus, 1758, a genus with several common edible species which comprises the largest Western Palearctic snails. The taxonomy of this genus, which has a centre of diversity in the eastern Mediterranean, has recently undergone significant changes, in both the delimitation of the genus itself and its species‐level systematics. Here, we compare the lineage diversity of Helix, as revealed by two mitochondrial markers, with the conclusions of the recently published morphology‐based taxonomic revision. For the molecular analysis, we assembled a representative data set covering almost all species of the genus as recognized by the mentioned revision. We obtained sequences not only from fresh and preserved soft tissues but also from dried tissue remains (some of them decades old) from shell collections. Our results show that the genus Helix, in the narrow sense proposed by recent studies, is paraphyletic because the genus Tacheopsis was unambiguously revealed as one of the tip branches of Helix. The monophyly of several species, as presently recognized, was not supported; partly, this may be attributed to a lineage diversity overlooked so far. This holds also for the type species of the genus, H. pomatia, which comprises at least one additional lineage. Greece, the Aegean and western Turkey is the core area for the diversity of Helix and its relatives, and the region is probably a major long‐term refuge for large Helicidae. The highest species diversity is found along the Alpide belt from the western Balkans to southern Turkey. The diversity of Helix in Europe, north of Greece and the Apennines, is a result of a single European radiation. Our data also suggest that past human activities likely influenced the present‐day distributions of some species.
