Genetic Structure of Human Populations

Noah A. Rosenberg, +6 more
- 20 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: General agreement of genetic and predefined populations suggests that self-reported ancestry can facilitate assessments of epidemiological risks but does not obviate the need to use genetic information in genetic association studies.
Book

Cultural transmission and evolution: a quantitative approach

Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, +1 more
TL;DR: A mathematical theory of the non-genetic transmission of cultural traits is developed that provides a framework for future investigations in quantitative social and anthropological science and concludes that cultural transmission is an essential factor in the study of cultural change.
Book

Niche Construction: The Neglected Process in Evolution

F. John Odling-Smee, +2 more
TL;DR: This book extends evolutionary theory by formally including niche construction and ecological inheritance as additional evolutionary processes, and demonstrates how the theory can resolve long-standing problems in ecology, particularly by advancing the sorely needed synthesis of ecology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Worldwide human relationships inferred from genome-wide patterns of variation.

Jun Li, +10 more
- 22 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A pattern of ancestral allele frequency distributions that reflects variation in population dynamics among geographic regions is observed and is consistent with the hypothesis of a serial founder effect with a single origin in sub-Saharan Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local dispersal promotes biodiversity in a real-life game of rock–paper–scissors

Benjamin Kerr, +3 more
- 11 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: It is found that diversity is rapidly lost in the experimental community when dispersal and interaction occur over relatively large spatial scales, whereas all populations coexist when ecological processes are localized.
