Whole genome sequencing and SNP genotyping arrays can paint strikingly different pictures of demographic history and natural selection. This is because genotyping arrays contain …
Humans are a striking anomaly in the natural world. While we are similar to other mammals in many ways, our behavior sets us apart. Our unparalleled ability to adapt has allowed us to …
Most species are structured and influenced by processes that either increased or reduced gene flow between populations. However, most population genetic inference methods …
Abstract Language is a uniquely human trait likely to have been a prerequisite for the development of human culture. The ability to develop articulate speech relies on …
