Genetic Basis of Social Structure in the Pastoral Nomads of Central Eurasia

Ayken Askapuli, Miguel G. Vilar, Maxat Zhabagin, Zhaxylyk Sabitov et autres

Abstract Although the social structure of Central Eurasian pastoral nomads has been described as fluid and ad hoc by historians and anthropologists, its potential genetic basis remains poorly understood. To evaluate whether kinship based social organization has biological foundations, we surveyed Kazak …

Charting a landmark-driven path forward for population genetics and ancient DNA research in Africa

Elizabeth Sawchuk, Kendra Sirak, Fredrick K. Manthi, Emmanuel Ndiema et autres

Population history-focused DNA and ancient DNA (aDNA) research in Africa has dramatically increased in the past decade, enabling increasingly fine-scale investigations into the continent's past. However, while international interest in human genomics research in Africa grows, major structural barriers limit the ability …

Evaluating population histories in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, Chile, using ancient mitochondrial and Y‐chromosomal DNA

Christina M Balentine, Marta Alfonso‐Durruty, Austin W. Reynolds, Miguel G. Vilar et autres

Abstract Objectives This study aims to characterize the genetic histories of ancient hunter‐gatherer groups in Fuego‐Patagonia (Chile) with distinct Marine, Terrestrial, and Mixed Economy subsistence strategies. Mitochondrial (mtDNA) and Y‐chromosome data were generated to test three hypotheses. H0: All individuals were drawn …

Ancient DNA reveals five streams of migration into Micronesia and matrilocality in early Pacific seafarers

Yue-Chen Liu, Rosalind L. Hunter-Anderson, Olivia Cheronet, Joanne Eakin et autres

Micronesia began to be peopled earlier than other parts of Remote Oceania, but the origins of its inhabitants remain unclear. We generated genome-wide data from 164 ancient and 112 modern individuals. Analysis reveals five migratory streams into Micronesia. Three are East Asian …

African mitochondrial haplogroup L7: a 100,000-year-old maternal human lineage discovered through reassessment and new sequencing

Paul A. Maier, Göran Runfeldt, Roberta J. Estes, Miguel G. Vilar

Archaeological and genomic evidence suggest that modern Homo sapiens have roamed the planet for some 300-500 thousand years. In contrast, global human mitochondrial (mtDNA) diversity coalesces to one African female ancestor ("Mitochondrial Eve") some 145 thousand years ago, owing to the ¼ …

Data for: "Ancient DNA Reveals Five Streams of Migration into Micronesia and Matrilocality in Early Pacific Seafarers"

Yue-Chen Liu, Rosalind L. Hunter-Anderson, Olivia Cheronet, Joanne Eakin et autres

Micronesia began to be peopled earlier than other parts of Remote Oceania, but its inhabitants’ origins remain unclear. We generated genome-wide data from 164 ancient and 112 modern individuals. Analysis reveals five migratory streams into Micronesia. Three are East Asian-related, one is …

A population history of indigenous Bahamian islanders: Insights from ancient DNA

Vanessa Forbes‐Pateman, Aram Yardumian, Miguel G. Vilar, Tanya M. Simms et autres

Abstract Objectives The Bahamas is an archipelago in the western Atlantic Ocean that stretches over 1000 km, just north of Cuba and east of the Florida Peninsula. Modern DNA studies show that contemporary Bahamians are genetic descendants of European and African ancestors, …

Y chromosome diversity in Aztlan descendants and its implications for the history of Central Mexico

Rocío Gómez, Miguel G. Vilar, Marco Antonio Meraz‐Ríos, David Véliz et autres

Native Mexican populations are crucial for understanding the genetic ancestry of Aztec descendants and coexisting ethnolinguistic groups in the Valley of Mexico and elucidating the population dynamics of the prehistoric colonization of the Americas. Mesoamerican societies were multicultural in nature and also …
