Statistical evaluation of alternative models of human evolution
Nelson J. R. Fagundes,Nicolas Ray,Mark A. Beaumont,Samuel Neuenschwander,Francisco M. Salzano,Sandro L. Bonatto,Laurent Excoffier +6 more
TL;DR: Using DNA data from 50 nuclear loci sequenced in African, Asian and Native American samples, it is shown that a simple African replacement model with exponential growth has a higher probability as compared with alternative multiregional evolution or assimilation scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial population genomics supports a single pre-Clovis origin with a coastal route for the peopling of the Americas.

TL;DR: It is shown, by using 86 complete mitochondrial genomes, that all Native American haplogroups, including haplogroup X, were part of a single founding population, thereby refuting multiple-migration models and supporting a pre-Clovis occupation of the New World.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence reveals extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and widespread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper argued that ABC is a statistically valid approach, alongside other computational statistical techniques that have been successfully used to infer parameters and compare models in population genetics, and encouraged researchers to study and use model-based inference for population genetics.
