The genetic diversity of our crop plants has been substantially reduced during the process of
domestication and breeding. This reduction in diversity necessarily constrains our ability to …

Advances in genome sequencing technologies have created new opportunities for
comparative primate genomics. Genome assemblies have been published for various …

Anatomically modern humans overlapped and mated with Neandertals such that non-
African humans inherit~ 1 to 3% of their genomes from Neandertal ancestors. We identified …

Although an African origin of the modern human species is generally accepted, the
evolutionary processes involved in the speciation, geographical spread, and eventual …

Baboons (genus Papio) are a morphologically and behaviorally diverse clade of catarrhine
monkeys that have experienced hybridization between phenotypically and genetically …

Genetic admixture is central to primate evolution. We combined 50 years of field
observations of immigration and group demography with genomic data from~ 9 generations …

Primates, the mammalian order including our own species, comprise 480 species in 78
genera. Thus, they represent the third largest of the 18 orders of eutherian mammals …

Reticulate evolution can be a major driver of diversification into new niches, especially in
disturbed habitats and at the edges of ranges. Industrial fermentation strains of yeast provide …

Abstract The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human
evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage, as well as that of …

Baboons (genus Papio) are an interesting phylogeographical primate model for the
evolution of savanna species during the Pleistocene. Earlier studies, based on partial …
