Investigating the divergence time between different populations has been of fundamental interest in evolution biology. In this study, we reanalysed the mitochondrial and Y chromosome DNA of the 1000 Genomes Project, and revealed that most single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are specific to minority and would be classified as low-frequency mutations. Using these polymorphisms, we recalculated the divergence time of different populations by direct comparison between individuals and the out-group.
