I wonder if someone would explain for me the procedures used by
Cann, et. al. in the analysis of mtDNA.  I had one class in
biochemistry some years back and I am uncomfortable with the
descriptions I have read in the original literature -- which
may just be over my head.
 
I am uncomfortable with black-box approaches to questions and
want to know how restriction enzyme analysis is used to break
the mtDNA down into n  lineages and then how the mtDNA divergence
is estimated.

Thank you in advance.
