Evolutionary population history of early Paleoamerican cranial morphology
The nature and timing of the peopling of the Americas is a subject of intense debate. In particular, it is unclear whether high levels of between-group craniometric diversity in South America result from multiple migrations or from local diversification processes. Previous attempts to explain this diversity have largely focused on testing alternative dispersal or gene flow models, reaching conf...
متن کاملEvolutionary insights into global patterns of human cranial diversity: population history, climatic and dietary effects.
The study of cranial variation has a long, and somewhat difficult, history within anthropology. Much of this difficulty is rooted in the historical use of craniometric data to justify essentialist typological racial classification schemes. In the post-war era of the "New Physical Anthropology" (sensu Washburn, 1951), anthropologists began to analyse human variation in an explicitly populationis...
متن کاملThe Early Evolutionary History of Birds
With more than 10,000 species—roughly twice as many as there are mammals or lizards—birds are by far the most diverse group of living land vertebrates. However, this enormous diversity is just a remnant of an ancient evolutionary radiation that can be traced back to the Jurassic, to the 150 million-year-old Archaeopteryx from southern Germany. Research on the early history of birds and the deve...
متن کاملTracking modern human population history from linguistic and cranial phenotype
Languages and genes arguably follow parallel evolutionary trajectories, descending from a common source and subsequently differentiating. However, although common ancestry is established within language families, it remains controversial whether language preserves a deep historical signal. To address this question, we evaluate the association between linguistic and geographic distances across 2...
متن کاملEvolutionary demography and the population history of the European early Neolithic.
In this paper I propose that evolutionary demography and associated theory from human behavioral ecology provide a strong basis for explaining the available evidence for the patterns observed in the first agricultural settlement of Europe in the 7th-5th millennium cal. BC, linking together a variety of what have previously been disconnected observations and casting doubt on some long-standing e...
