During the last ten years, the use of molecular markers, revealing polymorphism at the DNA
level, has been playing an increasing part in animal genetics studies. Amongst others, the …

This review explores the limitations of self-reported race, ethnicity, and genetic ancestry in
biomedical research. Various terminologies are used to classify human differences in …

Our closest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, have a complex demographic
history. We analyzed the high-coverage whole genomes of 75 wild-born chimpanzees and …

Here we present a draft genome sequence of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes).
Through comparison with the human genome, we have generated a largely complete …

The effective population sizes of ancestral as well as modern species are important
parameters in models of population genetics and human evolution. The commonly used …

Both adults and adolescents often conform their behavior and opinions to peer groups, even
when they themselves know better. The current study investigated this phenomenon in 24 …

DNA that has been recovered from archaeological and palaeontological remains makes it
possible to go back in time and study the genetic relationships of extinct organisms to their …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

The Social Science Encyclopedia, first published in 1985 to acclaim from social scientists,
librarians and students, was thoroughly revised in 1996, when reviewers began to describe …

Our basic question is: Given a collection of DNA sequences, what underlying forces are
responsible for the observed patterns of variability? To approach this question we introduce …
