Despite broad consensus on Africa as the main place of origin for anatomically modern
humans, their dispersal pattern out of the continent continues to be intensely debated. In …

The dispersal of modern humans from Africa is now well documented with genetic data that
track population history, as well as gene flow between populations. Phenetic skeletal data …

Genetic resemblances among groups are non-randomly distributed in humans. This
population structure may influence the correlations between traits and environmental drivers …

Dental phenotypic data are often used to reconstruct biological relatedness among past
human groups. Teeth are an important data source because they are generally well …

The modern human expansion process out of Africa has important implications for
understanding the genetic and phenotypic structure of extant populations. While intensely …
