Some species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), particularly
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes human tuberculosis (TB), are the first cause of …

Modern humans are an anomaly in evolution, and the final key features occurred late in
human evolution. Ultimate explanations for this evolutionary trajectory are best attained …

Over the past 500 years, North America has been the site of ongoing mixing of Native
Americans, European settlers, and Africans (brought largely by the trans-Atlantic slave …

Given the importance of Africa to studies of human origins and disease susceptibility,
detailed characterization of African genetic diversity is needed. The African Genome …

As the data resulting from modern genotyping tools are astoundingly complex, genotyping
studies require great care in the sampling design, genotyping, data analysis and …

Using genome-wide genotypes, we characterized the genetic structure of 103,006
participants in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California multi-ethnic Genetic Epidemiology …

While South Americans are underrepresented in human genomic diversity studies, Brazil
has been a classical model for population genetics studies on admixture. We present the …

Africa's Middle Stone Age (MSA) may have lasted almost half a million years, but its earliest
expression is not yet well understood. The MSA is best known for innovations that appear in …

Worldwide patterns of genetic variation are driven by human demographic history. Here, we
test whether this demographic history has left similar signatures on phonemes—sound units …

The movement of people into the Americas has brought different populations into contact,
and contemporary American genomes are the product of a range of complex admixture …
