From “Social anthropology: Past and present”, a 1950 publication of a lecture by E. E. Evans-Pritchard:
When individuals mate locally, different populations tend to diverge from each other in the frequencies of their alleles. Genetic differences between populat...
Introduction
Demography is the engine of evolution. Changes in allele frequencies require differential births and deaths of the individuals who carry the alleles. Under n...
Steve Mount works through the math of “relative finder” predictions from 23andMe (and by extension, other personal genome tests): “Genetic genealogy and the ...
I’m going to pass along this paper without much comment, it’s by Jon Seger and colleagues and it came out earlier this year in Genetics Seger:2010:
It’s that time of the semester—exam time—and I’m getting a lot of questions from my students by e-mail. One of the most common questions is how to differenti...
