Genetic Basis of Social Structure in the Pastoral Nomads of Central Eurasia

Ayken Askapuli, Miguel G. Vilar, Maxat K. Zhabagin…·Naruya Saitou

The paper examines the genetic basis of social structure in Kazak pastoral nomads, finding concordance between genetic and genealogical data, sex-biased admixture, and reduced runs of homozygosity linked to clan exogamy.

Introgression Makes Waves In Inferred Histories Of Effective Population Size

John D. Hawks

This study shows that introgression and gene flow from ancient populations create a wave in inferred effective population size, affecting population history estimates.
