Two major inconsistencies exist in the current neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory that
random chromosomal mutations acted on by natural selection generate new species. First …

The vast majority of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are performed in
Europeans, and their transferability to other populations is dependent on many factors (eg …

Over the past 500 years, North America has been the site of ongoing mixing of Native
Americans, European settlers, and Africans (brought largely by the trans-Atlantic slave …

According to historical records of transatlantic slavery, traders forcibly deported an estimated
12.5 million people from ports along the Atlantic coastline of Africa between the 16th and …

Abstract The Mexico City Prospective Study is a prospective cohort of more than 150,000
adults recruited two decades ago from the urban districts of Coyoacán and Iztapalapa in …

Africa is the source of all modern humans, but characterization of genetic variation and of
relationships among populations across the continent has been enigmatic. We studied 121 …

Over the past 50 years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our
