Ancient mitochondrial DNA provides high-resolution time scale of the peopling of the Americas
Native American population history is reexamined using a large data set of pre-Columbian mitochondrial genomes.
Mitogenomics of the Extinct Cave Lion, Panthera spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810), Resolve its Position within the Panthera Cats
The extinct cave lion (Panthera spelaea) was an apex predator of the Pleistocene, and one of the largest felid species ever to exist. We report the first mitochondrial genome sequences for this species, derived from two Beringian specimens, one of which has been radiocarbon dated to 29,860 ± 210 14C a BP. Phylogenetic analysis confirms the placement of the cave lion as the sister taxon to populations of the modern lion (P. leo). Using newly recov…
Love Is (Color)blind: Asian Americans and White Institutional Space at the Elite University
The literature on racism at the university level is extensive, but few studies have examined the unique position of Asian American undergraduates. Studies of racial discrimination toward Asian Americans remain largely quantitative in nature and few in number. Through rich qualitative data, this article describes how Asian American undergraduates use language to negotiate their social experiences, romantic relationships, and identity at the elite …
Mitochondrial DNA diversity and evolution of the Pleistocene cave bear complex
Rethinking dog domestication by integrating genetics, archeology, and biogeography
The dog was the first domesticated animal but it remains uncertain when the domestication process began and whether it occurred just once or multiple times across the Northern Hemisphere. To ascertain the value of modern genetic data to elucidate the origins of dog domestication, we analyzed 49,024 autosomal SNPs in 1,375 dogs (representing 35 breeds) and 19 wolves. After combining our data with previously published data, we contrasted the geneti…
Species-specific responses of Late Quaternary megafauna to climate and humans
Using genetic evidence to evaluate four palaeoanthropological hypotheses for the timing of Neanderthal and modern human origins
Detailed mtDNA genotypes permit a reassessment of the settlement and population structure of the Andaman Islands
The population genetics of the Indian subcontinent is central to understanding early human prehistory due to its strategic location on the proposed corridor of human movement from Africa to Australia during the late Pleistocene. Previous genetic research using mtDNA has emphasized the relative isolation of the late Pleistocene colonizers, and the physically isolated Andaman Island populations of Island South‐East Asia remain the source of claims …
Children's understanding of epistemic modals
Prior empirical work in semantic development has produced an impressive finding showing that children can reliably detect a modal's relative force (e.g. that must is stronger sounding than may ) by five-and-a-half years of age. We investigate the extent to which a representation of relative force can account for an understanding of epistemic modals when their logical meaning is considered (i.e. when modals are interpretable as expressions of nece…
