Advances in the sequencing and the analysis of the genomes of both modern and ancient
peoples have facilitated a number of breakthroughs in our understanding of human …

Forensic DNA profiling currently allows the identification of persons already known to
investigating authorities. Recent advances have produced new types of genetic markers …

We sequenced the genomes of a∼ 7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight∼ 8,000-
year-old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other …

Human cooperation is highly unusual. We live in large groups composed mostly of non-
relatives. Evolutionists have proposed a number of explanations for this pattern, including …

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 …

Population mixture is an important process in biology. We present a suite of methods for
learning about population mixtures, implemented in a software package called …

Genetic data often exhibit patterns broadly consistent with'isolation by distance'—a
phenomenon where genetic similarity decays with geographic distance. In a heterogeneous …

Whole-genome sequencing enables complete characterization of genetic variation, but
geographic clustering of rare alleles demands many diverse populations be studied. Here …

Mexico harbors great cultural and ethnic diversity, yet fine-scale patterns of human genome-
wide variation from this region remain largely uncharacterized. We studied genomic …

India has been underrepresented in genome-wide surveys of human variation. We analyse
25 diverse groups in India to provide strong evidence for two ancient populations …
