    Abstract

    The aim of this study was to assess the genetic diversity and the degree of introgression of foreign alleles into autochthonous goat genomes following putative land and maritime routes of human migrations. Genotypic data from sixteen populations were analysed for diversity statistics and admixture. Results show genetic fingerprints of old gene flow that could be related to past human expansions for explorations, raids or demographic reasons. In addition, this study could add missing pieces to indirectly recreate historically and still uncertain human land and maritime routes.
