Studies of Native American genetic diversity and population history have been transformed
over the last decade by important developments in anthropological genetics. During this time…

African Americans are 40% more likely to be afflicted with hypertension than are non-Hispanic,
white Americans, resulting in a 30% higher instance of mortality due to cardiovascular …

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 …

Humans’ ability for rapid dispersal and adaptation has allowed us to colonize diverse
geographic and climatic regions of the planet, creating a complex evolutionary history. This …

We isolated and characterized 12 microsatellite loci from the hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys
imbricata). The loci exhibited a variable number of alleles that ranged from three to 14 …

While many studies have highlighted human adaptations to diverse environments worldwide,
genomic studies of natural selection in Indigenous populations in the Americas have been …

Population migration has played an important role in human evolutionary history and in the
patterning of human genetic variation. A deeper and empirically-based understanding of …

The human head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) is an obligate ectoparasite of humans
and has the potential to uncover aspects of human history that cannot be directly inferred …
