Bayesian analyses of Yemeni mitochondrial genomes suggest multiple migration events with Africa and Western Eurasia.
OBJECTIVES Anatomically, modern humans are thought to have migrated out of Africa ∼60,000 years ago in the first successful global dispersal. This initial migration may have passed through Yemen, a region that has experienced multiple migrations events with Africa and Eurasia throughout human history. We use Bayesian phylogenetics to determine how ancient and recent migrations have shaped Yemen...
متن کاملMorphological change in cranial shape following the transition to agriculture across western Eurasia
The Neolithic transition brought about fundamental social, dietary and behavioural changes in human populations, which, in turn, impacted skeletal morphology. Crania are shaped through diverse genetic, ontogenetic and environmental factors, reflecting various elements of an individual's life. To determine the transition's effect on cranial morphology, we investigated its potential impact on the...
متن کاملAgents of Change: Modeling Biocultural Evolution in Upper Pleistocene Western Eurasia
The complex interactions between social learning and biological change are key to understanding the human species and its origins. Yet paleoanthropological models often focus only on the evolution of the human genome and physical characters, while behavior is treated as an epiphenomenon of biological evolution. We present the results of a series of experiments that use computational models, par...
متن کاملIntroduction to Mobility, Migration, and Acculturation
Within a globalized world, resettling from one country to another has become more and more frequent (i.e., the number of immigrants is currently estimated at more than 190 Million worldwide by the United Nations), and not only in classical immigration countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, and South American countries. Reasons for migration vary, and range from escaping from extremely ad...
متن کاملComplex Projectile Technology and Homo sapiens Dispersal into Western Eurasia
This paper proposes that complex projectile weaponry was a key strategic innovation driving Late Pleistocene human dispersal into western Eurasia after 50 Ka. It argues that complex projectile weapons of the kind used by ethnographic hunter-gatherers, such as the bow and arrow, and spearthrower and dart, enabled Homo sapiens to overcome obstacles that constrained previous human dispersal from A...
