    The study shows very complex patterns of genetic diversity between the populations from the Sahel/Savannah belt. The new findings improve our current knowledge of population structure, migration, admixture, and also adaptation of different human populations and shed new light on how selection may have influenced human adaptation to diseases, cultural factors, and environmental changes in Africa. The study also investigated genomic regions that were candidates for selection. For instance, in a population from Senegal (the Bedik) involved genes are associated with several rare blood disorders. Other Western African populations showed candidate regions of selection that were associated with malaria genes, lactase persistence, and immune response. In particular, a specific signal of exceptionally strong selection was detected in Eastern Sahel (the Rashaayda Arab) and this region involves the CNR1 gene, which was previously associated with substance dependence and responses to chronic stress. These findings are discussed in relation to archaeological and historical evidence regarding migrations and demographic changes in this part of Africa.
