Sex‐specific demographic behaviours that shape human genomic variation
In the human species, the two uniparental genetic systems (mitochondrial DNA and Y
chromosome) exhibit contrasting diversity patterns. It has been proposed that sex‐specific …

Cultural hitchhiking and competition between patrilineal kin groups explain the post-Neolithic Y-chromosome bottleneck
TC Zeng, AJ Aw, MW Feldman - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
In human populations, changes in genetic variation are driven not only by genetic
processes, but can also arise from cultural or social changes. An abrupt population …

Patrilineal segmentary systems provide a peaceful explanation for the post-Neolithic Y-chromosome bottleneck
Studies have found a pronounced decline in male effective population sizes worldwide
around 3000–5000 years ago. This bottleneck was not observed for female effective …

Sociocultural behavior, sex-biased admixture, and effective population sizes in Central African Pygmies and non-Pygmies
Sociocultural phenomena, such as exogamy or phylopatry, can largely determine human
sex-specific demography. In Central Africa, diverging patterns of sex-specific genetic …

Heavily male‐biased long‐distance dispersal of orang‐utans (genus: Pongo), as revealed by Y‐chromosomal and mitochondrial genetic markers
Mating systems are thought to be an important determinant of dispersal strategies in most
animals, including the great apes. As the most basal taxon of all great apes, orang‐utans …
