This contribution is a synoptic view of the genetic history of the African hunter-gatherers. The ancestral population of these peoples colonized most of the world long before the invention of agriculture. The first successful migration from Africa to Eurasia was dated to ~ 65,000 years ago but at the same time there have been other migrations within the Africa. They can be documented by high-resolution analyses of sub-Saharan mtDNA haplogroups. Today, the African foragers differ from their sedentary neighbours in many aspects. For example, due to interrupted gene flow among their sub-populations they show signs of demographic contraction. Notwithstanding, still today the gene pool of the African hunter-gatherers contains a remarkably high number of both maternal and paternal lineages that coalesce to the deepest branches of modern human phylogeny.
