Contact-tracing in cultural evolution: a Bayesian mixture model to detect geographic areas of language contact

The paper introduces sBayes, a Bayesian clustering algorithm to detect geographic language contact areas while accounting for inheritance and universal preference confounders, using simulated data and case studies in South America and the Balkans.

Can Bayesian phylogeography reconstruct migrations and expansions in human history?

This paper evaluates Bayesian phylogeography's ability to reconstruct migrations and expansions in human history using simulations and real data.
