Genomic evidence for the Pleistocene and recent population history of Native Americans

Maanasa Raghavan, +121 more
- 21 Aug 2015 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic prehistory of the New World Arctic

Maanasa Raghavan, +58 more
- 29 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present genome-wide sequence data from ancient and present-day humans from Greenland, Arctic Canada, Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and Siberia, and show that a single Paleo-Eskimo metapopulation likely survived in near-isolation for more than 4000 years, only to vanish around 700 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing faunal migrations using intra-tooth sampling and strontium and oxygen isotope analyses: a case study of modern caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti)

TL;DR: Dual-element isotopic profiles were created from incrementally developed dental tissues of five individuals selected from a modern herd of migratory Alaskan caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) and one individual displays a very different trend and may represent a behavioural outlier or an immigrant from a semi-domesticated reindeer herd.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strontium isotope evidence for landscape use by early hominins

TL;DR: Investigation of landscape use in Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus from the Sterkfontein and Swartkrans cave sites in South Africa uses strontium isotope analysis, a method that can help to identify the geological substrate on which an animal lived during tooth mineralization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strontium isotope evidence of Neanderthal mobility at the site of Lakonis, Greece using laser-ablation PIMMS

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported evidence for Neanderthal mobility through the measurement of strontium isotope ratios in tooth enamel using laser-ablation, which allows them to use much smaller samples than traditional methods.
