Influence of high altitude on competition demands of the professional tennis on hard and clay surface
Tennis is played over different surfaces and under different conditions of humidity, altitude, air pressure, etc. Therefore, analyzing competition statistics is considered a key factor since it can help to shape the training in order to get a better performance of the tennis player. The aim of this study was to know the differences in match statistics of ATP 250 tournaments disputed over different court surfaces (clay and hard-court) and under di…
Inferring paternal history of rural African-derived Brazilian populations from Y chromosomes
Quilombo remnants are relics of communities founded by runaway or abandoned African slaves, but often with subsequent extensive and complex admixture patterns with European and Native Americans. We combine a genetic study of Y-chromosome markers with anthropological surveys in order to obtain a portrait of quilombo structure and history in the region that has the largest number of quilombo remnants in the state of São Paulo.Samples from 289 indiv…
Estimation of Inbreeding and Substructure Levelsin African-Derived Brazilian Quilombo Populations
This article deals with the estimation of inbreeding and substructure levels in a set of 10 (later regrouped as eight) African-derived quilombo communities from the Ribeira River Valley in the southern portion of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Inbreeding levels were assessed through F-values estimated from the direct analysis of genealogical data and from the statistical analysis of a large set of 30 molecular markers. The levels of population s…
Β‐Globin polymorphisms in amerindian populations from the brazilian amazon
Objectives: This investigation was performed to examine genetic variation at the β‐globin locus in a sample of 30 healthy individuals from native populations in South America. The patterns of haplotypic variation were compared with those of previous studies including samples for various worldwide populations in an attempt to make inferences about the occupation of the Americas from a deeper temporal perspective than is typically available with ha…
Frequency and Origins of Hemoglobin S Mutation in African-Derived Brazilian Populations
Africans arrived in Brazil as slaves in great numbers, mainly after 1550. Before the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888, many communities, called quilombos, were formed by runaway or abandoned African slaves. These communities are presently referred to as remnants of quilombos, and many are still partially genetically isolated. These remnants can be regarded as relicts of the original African genetic contribution to the Brazilian population. …
The molecular signature of selection underlying human adaptations
In the last decade, advances in human population genetics and comparative genomics have resulted in important contributions to our understanding of human genetic diversity and genetic adaptation. For the first time, we are able to reliably detect the signature of natural selection from patterns of DNA polymorphism. Identifying the effects of natural selection in this way provides a crucial piece of evidence needed to support hypotheses of human a…
Genetic diversity of two African and sixteen South American populations determined on the basis of six hypervariable loci
A total of 582 individuals (1,164 chromosomes) from two African, eight African-derived South American, five South American Amerindian, and three Brazilian urban populations were studied at four variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) and two short tandem repeat (STR) hypervariable loci. These two sets of loci did not show distinct allele profiles, which might be expected if different processes promoted their molecular differentiation. The two Afr…

Early skeletal remains and the peopling of the Americas
Nós investigamos as afinidades morfológicas das populações esqueletais mais antigas da Arnérica do Norte e do Sul, com base na variabilidade craniana mundial, através de uma Análise de Componentes Principais. Duas análises foram efetuadas, uma usando-se tamanho e forma e outra usando somente informação quanto a forma. Os resultados obtidos para as mulheres, em ambas as análises, não permitiram qualquer interpretação factível sobre as afinidades e…

As origens do homo sapiens sapiens: Uma Questão Ainda Não Esclarecida
Quando e onde teriam se originado os humanos modernos aos quais atribuimos o nomde de Homo Sapiens Sapiens ? Respostas para estas questoes sao buscadas na analise de genes de populacoes vivas e no estudo de fosseis. Entretanto, estudos geneticos e paleo-antropologicos tem sido utilizados para sustentar modelos radicalmente diferentes sobre o local e a data de origem da nossa especie. Este artigo apresenta as posicoes e as tecnicas utilizadas para…
