Growth rate of the ancient human population in Australia
نویسنده
چکیده
In the earlier publications (Nielsen aka Nurzynski, 2013a, 2013b) we have discussed the growth of human population in Australia as determined by the study of the time-dependent distribution of rock shelter sites between 10,000 and 1,000 years BP (before present). We have shown that if the number of rock shelter sites is assumed to represent also the size of human population, the growth of the population follows closely the second-order hyperbolic distribution. We have also shown that the analysis of rock-shelter data suggested a possible systematic error in relating the number of rock-shelter sites to the size of human population.

Hyperbolic Illusion of the Mid-Holocene Turning Point
Using the growth of population in Australia in the past 10,000 years it is illustrated here how an illusion created by hyperbolic distributions may lead easily to incorrect conclusions. Contrary to the published claim, there was no change in the mechanism of growth of the ancient human population in Australia around 5000 years before present (BP). Data for the number of rock-shelter sites, inte...
متن کاملReconstructing the dynamics of ancient human populations from radiocarbon dates: 10 000 years of population growth in Australia.
Measuring trends in the size of prehistoric populations is fundamental to our understanding of the demography of ancient people and their responses to environmental change. Archaeologists commonly use the temporal distribution of radiocarbon dates to reconstruct population trends, but this can give a false picture of population growth because of the loss of evidence from older sites. We demonst...

Objective(s): Mutant forms FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3), are reported in 25% of childhood acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. In this study, drug response, growth promoting, and protein trafficking of FLT3 wild-type was compared with two active mutants (Internal Tandem Duplication (ITD)) and D835Y. Materials and Methods:FLT3 was expressed on fact...
متن کاملAncient DNA from Human and Animal
Research on ancient DNA (aDNA) has the potential to enable molecular biologists and archeologists to decipher certain aspects of history by direct looking into the past. However, several major problems in this field limit the applicability of aDNA studies, most importantly contamination with modern DNA and postmortem DNA degradation. In this study we extracted and analyzed aDNA obtained from ~3...
