  • Biodemographic and molecular analysis of an isolated Alpine population (Postua)

    Open AccessAlan Marin, Alessandro Achilli et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2005References: 2

    Isolated populations have been the object of several genetic and anthropological studies, since endogamy and inbreeding often lead to the acquisition of a particular gene pool. In this context, we studied the small, ancient population of Postua in the north-western Italian Alps. We used biodemographic and molecular techniques to analyse the population structure in order to evaluate the relationship between geographical and genetic isolation. We e…

  • Reconstruction of human evolutionary tree using polymorphic autosomal microsatellites

    Open AccessQasim Ayub, Atika Mansoor et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2003

    Allelic frequencies of 182 tri‐ and tetra‐autosomal microsatellites were used to examine phylogenetic relationships among 19 extant human populations. In particular, because the languages of the Basques and Hunza Burusho have been suggested to have an ancient relationship, this study sought to explore the genetic relationship between these two major language isolate populations and to compare them with other human populations. The work presented …

  • Population history of Corsica

    Open AccessFrancesc Calafell, Jaume Bertranpetit et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1996

    Genetic and linguistic differentiations within Corsica were analysed and compared; the genetic relationships of Corsica to other Mediterranean populations were also studied. Lexical distances between 49 Corsican localities were computed from a standard word list; trees built from these distances were compared with average linkage and neighbour-joining trees of genetic distances. Our lexical distance results confirmed the north/south dialectal sub…

  • Demic Expansions and Human Evolution

    Open AccessLuigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Paolo Menozzi et al.ARTICLEScience1993

    Geographic expansions are caused by successful innovations, biological or cultural, that favor local growth and movement. They have had a powerful effect in determining the present patterns of human genetic geography. Modern human populations expanded rapidly across the Earth in the last 100,000 years. At the end of the Paleolithic (10,000 years ago) only a few islands and other areas were unoccupied. The number of inhabitants was then about one …

  • Uralic genes in Europe

    Open AccessC R Guglielmino, Alberto Piazza et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1990Cited by: 6References: 11

    We have analysed data of three European populations speaking non‐Indoeuropean languages: Hungarians, Lapps, and Finns. Principal coordinate analysis shows that Lapps are almost exactly intermediate between people located geographically near the Ural mountains and speaking Uralic languages, and central and northern Europeans. Hungarians and Finns are definitely closer to Europeans. An analysis of genetic admixture between Uralic and European ances…
