Geography and ecology are key factors that have influenced the genetic makeup of human groups in southern Africa, according to new research. By investigating the ancestries of twenty-two KhoeSan groups, researchers conclude that the genetic clustering of southern African populations is closely tied to the ecogeography of the Kalahari Desert region.
