The Caucasus as an asymmetric semipermeable barrier to ancient human migrations.
The Caucasus, inhabited by modern humans since the Early Upper Paleolithic and known for its linguistic diversity, is considered to be important for understanding human dispersals and genetic diversity in Eurasia.

Inevitably, evolution began to work on those wandering tribes: their skin became lighter, their metabolism adapted to new food sources, and their immune system had to...

Archaeological Mycobacterium tuberculosis resembles extant lineages indicating the timescale for evolutio...
