*This study: chromosome III; θ for LTRs only; n = 12 (Europe) and 8 (Far East) strains; u and r from S. cerevisiae.

^†One population, 34 strains, six nuclear loci; u and r from C. elegans (17).

^‡Three African populations, average of 21 alleles per population, 10 X-linked, noncoding loci (53); u and r for loci in the relevant region of the X chromosome from (54).

^§Three populations, 15 individuals in each, 10 noncoding regions, total length ≈25 kb; u calculated as substitution rate from chimpanzees (18); LD → 0 value from ref. 55.
