TL;DR: It is shown that Aboriginal Australians are descendants of an early human dispersal into eastern Asia, possibly 62,000 to 75,000 years ago, which is separate from the one that gave rise to modern Asians 25, thousands of years ago.

TL;DR: The results suggest that there has been gene flow between some Native Americans from both North and South America and groups related to East Asians and Australo-Melanesians, the latter possibly through an East Asian route that might have included ancestors of modern Aleutian Islanders.

TL;DR: Analysis of population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes shows that genetic structuring including the segregation of potentially functional alleles is associated with socially inherited ecological niche, consistent with expansion of small founder groups into novel niches by an initial plastic behavioural response.

TL;DR: Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA genome and shotgun genomic data from two exceptionally well-preserved 7,000-year-old Mesolithic individuals from La Braña-Arintero site in León suggests a remarkable genetic uniformity and little phylogeographic structure over a large geographic area of the pre-Neolithic populations.

TL;DR: It is found that the initial diffusion of maize into the Southwest about 4,000 years ago is likely to have occurred along a highland route, followed by gene flow from a lowland coastal maize beginning at least 2,500 years ago.
