Cranial sexual dimorphism levels in modern humans: Supporting a global expansion originating in southern Africa

This study examines cranial sexual dimorphism in modern humans to infer the origin of global expansion, finding that form dimorphism suggests an African origin while shape dimorphism spans further.

The global expansion from southern Africa by modern humans? Its signal may be shown more through the cranial shape of males than females

This study examines the global expansion of modern humans from southern Africa by comparing cranial shape diversity between males and females.

X-chromosomal diversity may, or may not, reflect climate

This study investigates whether X-chromosomal diversity reflects climate, finding mixed results and uncertainty about its association and underlying mechanisms.

Y-chromosomal microsatellites and expansion from Africa

This study examines Y-chromosomal microsatellite diversity to assess whether it supports an African origin for human expansion, finding that some variables suggest an African origin while others do not.

Expansion of modern humans over the world: The origin when considering non-linearity

This study investigates non-linear relationships between genetic diversity and distance from Africa to determine the origin of modern human expansion, finding non-linearity suggests an African origin but model type affects results for some markers.

Modern human expansion from (southern?) Africa: Origin, non-African ancestry, and linearity

The paper investigates the origin of modern humans by analyzing genetic and cranial variables, finding a southern African origin supported by autosomal diversity adjusted for non-African ancestry.
