Although it is commonly believed that women are kinder and more cooperative than men,
there is conflicting evidence for this assertion. Current theories of sex differences in social …

Sex‐biased dispersal is an almost ubiquitous feature of mammalian life history, but the
evolutionary causes behind these patterns still require much clarification. A quarter of a …

Abstract Interpretation of genetic differentiation values is often problematic because of their
dependence on the level of genetic variation. For example, the maximum level of GST is less …

Markers on the non-recombining portion of the human Y chromosome continue to have
applications in many fields including evolutionary biology, forensics, medical genetics, and …

" Sometime before 15,000 years ago, a band of hunter-gatherers arrived in Northeast Asia.
They continued east, becoming the first people to set foot in the Americas. They soon found …

▪ Abstract Several unique properties of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), including its
high copy number, maternal inheritance, lack of recombination, and high mutation rate, have …

We review recent trends in phylogeography and phylogenetics and argue that these two
fields stand to be reunited by the common yardstick provided by sequence and SNP data …

Background Comparisons of maternally-inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and
paternally-inherited non-recombining Y chromosome (NRY) variation have provided …

MtDNA has been a widely used tool in human evolutionary and population genetic studies
over the past three decades. Its maternal inheritance and lack of recombination have offered …

An enduring puzzle of human life history is why women cease reproduction midway through
life. Selection can favor postreproductive survival because older females can help their …
