Africa is the birthplace of modern humans, and is the source of the geographic expansion of
ancestral populations into other regions of the world. Indigenous Africans are characterized …

Because modern humans originated in Africa and have adapted to diverse environments,
African populations have high levels of genetic and phenotypic diversity. Thus, genomic …

The availability of complete human genome sequences from populations across the world
has given rise to new population genetic inference methods that explicitly model ancestral …

Bantu languages are spoken by about 310 million Africans, yet the genetic history of Bantu-
speaking populations remains largely unexplored. We generated genomic data for 1318 …

Our knowledge of ancient human population structure in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly
prior to the advent of food production, remains limited. Here we report genome-wide DNA …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Africa is inferred to be the continent of origin for all modern human populations, but the
details of human prehistory and evolution in Africa remain largely obscure owing to the …

To reconstruct modern human evolutionary history and identify loci that have shaped hunter-
gatherer adaptation, we sequenced the whole genomes of five individuals in each of three …

The genetic structure of the indigenous hunter-gatherer peoples of southern Africa, the
oldest known lineage of modern human, is important for understanding human diversity …

Many studies of human populations have used the male-specific region of the Y
chromosome (MSY) as a marker, but MSY sequence variants have traditionally been subject …
