  1. 1. Inferring Evolutionary Processes of Humans

    Författare :Sen Li; Mattias Jakobsson; Ludovic Orlando; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Approximate Bayesian Computation; TMRCA; demography; human evolution; Bantu-Expansion; Out-of-Africa;

    Sammanfattning : More and more human genomic data has become available in recent years by the improvement of DNA sequencing technologies. These data provide abundant genetic variation information which is an important resource to help us to understand the evolutionary history of humans. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Where our feet have taken us : Examples of human contact, migration, and adaptation as revealed by ancient DNA

    Författare :Alexandra Coutinho; Mattias Jakobsson; Helena Malmström; Carina Schlebusch; Tom Gilbert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human demography; migration; adaptation; human contact; ancient DNA; human evolution; African prehistory; Scandinavian prehistory; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Sammanfattning : In spite of our extensive knowledge of the human past, certain key questions remain to be answered about human prehistory. One involves the nature of cultural change in material culture through time from the perspective of how different ancient human groups interacted with one another. LÄS MER

  4. 3. From the migrations of herders and farmers to the colonial era and the modern-day : Genetic inferences on African demographic history

    Författare :Rickard Hammarén; Mattias Jakobsson; Carina Schlebusch; Torsten Günther; Luca Pagani; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; admixture; African demography; human evolutionary genetics; population structure; sex-biased admixture; Africa; population genetics; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Africa is the birthplace of the human species and home to great linguistic, cultural, and genetic diversity. Despite this, the genetics of the peoples of the continent remains understudied. In this thesis, I apply population genetic approaches, to contribute to the knowledge of human demographic history in Africa. LÄS MER
