Populations residing for millennia on the high-altitude plateaus of the world started natural
experiments that we can evaluate to address questions about the processes of evolution …

The complex, multilayered contact between the Quechuan and Aymaran languages is a
central but still poorly understood issue in Andean prehistory. This paper proposes a …

Two Bolivian samples belonging to the two main Andean linguistic groups (Aymaras and
Quechuas) were studied for mtDNA and Y‐chromosome uniparental markers to evaluate …

This paper examines aspects of how linguistics and human genetics can collaborate in the
investigation of human prehistory. Matters that need more careful attention for linguistic …

Abstract Objectives The Titicaca basin was the cradle of some of the major complex
societies of pre‐Columbian South America and is today home to three surviving native …

The diversity of the five single nucleotide polymorphisms located in genes of the TP53
pathway (TP53, rs1042522; MDM2, rs2279744; MDM4, rs1563828; USP7, rs1529916; and …

Objectives: We seek to evaluate the influence of a diverse and rugged physical environment
on the genetic background of human populations. Methods: We analyzed eight polymorphic …

Summary The APOE/C1/C4/C2 gene cluster presents high relevance in lipid metabolism
and, therefore, has important epidemiological implications. Here, we study for the first time …

This study aimed to analyze autosomal Alu insertions in three localities from Patagonia
Argentina belonging to the Andes region and the coast of the Chubut province. Knowledge …

Alu insertions, INDELs, and SNPs in the X chromosome can be useful not only for revealing
relationships among populations but also for identification purposes. We present data of 10 …
