INTRODUCTION Genetic studies of the Pleistocene peopling of the Americas have focused
on the timing and number of migrations from Siberia into North America. They show that …

The timing of the first entry of humans into North America is still hotly debated within the
scientific community. Excavations conducted at Bluefish Caves (Yukon Territory) from 1977 …

ABSTRACT A widely accepted model for the peopling of the Americas postulates a source
population in the Northeast Asian maritime region, which includes northern Japan. The …

Dental phenotypic data are often used to reconstruct biological relatedness among past
human groups. Teeth are an important data source because they are generally well …

The central lowland of Beringia (aka the Bering land bridge) has been viewed alternately as
a barrier or a refugium to the Native American founder population during the Last Glacial …

(Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2011). Szathmáry revealed that he and Maynard Smith had
planned to publish a revised synthesis containing several “major transitions” that had been …

Our understanding of the timing of human arrival to the Americas remains fragmented,
despite decades of active research and debate. Genetic research has recently led to the …

This paper summarizes the current archaeological, physiographic, demographic, molecular,
and bioarchaeological understanding of the initial peopling and subsequent population …

Objectives This study generates a series of narrow‐sense heritability estimates for crown
morphology of the deciduous and permanent dentition with two overarching aims. The first is …
