This study re-evaluates AMY1 copy number evolution using ancestry-aware models and finds demographic history, not diet, drives global variation.

This study analyzes genetic ancestry in the South African Coloured population, revealing regional variations and sex-biased admixture patterns.

The paper generates and analyzes 1,288 complete mitochondrial genomes from sub-Saharan Africa to update the understanding of maternal genetic diversity and demographic history.

This study analyzes the genetic structure and ancestry of the Fulani people using genome-wide data from 460 individuals, revealing shared ancestral components and admixture patterns.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing and machine learning to reconstruct demographic history and gene-flow patterns among African populations, finding that tree-like histories with gene-flow pulses better explain genetic diversity than continuous gene-flow.

The paper identifies ancient DNA of Rickettsia felis and Toxoplasma gondii in a 2,000-year-old South African hunter-gatherer child, linking them to his illness and death.

This study investigates genetic substructure and demographic history of South African Bantu speakers using genome-wide data, revealing fine-scale population structure aligned with geography and linguistics.

The paper examines lactase persistence allele frequencies in Sudanese and South Sudanese populations, finding higher LP-associated alleles in pastoralists and identifying the -14009:G variant as the most frequent.

The paper analyzes genetic data from Bantu-speaking populations in Mozambique and Angola to trace the Bantu expansion, finding a North-South dispersal pattern and genetic substructure.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from southern Africa to show that modern human divergence occurred over 260,000 years ago, pushing back previous estimates and linking it to the Middle Stone Age and anatomical changes in the fossil record.
