Protecting nature and reducing poverty are often treated as separate global challenges to be solved. But in many parts of Africa, the same land is needed for conserving nature and for people's food security and livelihoods. Ethiopia is one of the most important centres of crop diversity in Africa. It is where several crops were first grown. Hundreds of crop varieties have evolved in Ethiopia over thousands of years.

Abstract Africa harbors the richest diversity of mitochondrial DNA lineages, reflecting its central role in human evolutionary history. Early studies of mtDNA variation provided the first genetic evidence for the African origin of modern humans. With complete mitochondrial genome sequencing, we can now reconstruct maternal lineages with high resolution, yet large parts of the continent remain underrepresented.
