Applications of Bayesian Skyline Plots and Approximate Bayesian Computation for Human Demography
Bayesian methods have been adopted by anthropologists for their utility in resolving complex questions about human history based on genetic data. The main advantages of Bayesian methods include simple model comparison, presenting results as a summary of probability distributions, and the explicit inclusion of prior information into analyses. In the fijield of anthropological genetics, for example, implementing Bayesian skyline plots and approxima…
Genetic diversity in S vaneti and its implications for the human settlement of the H ighland C aucasus
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we characterized genetic diversity in the Svans from northwestern Georgia to better understand the phylogeography of their genetic lineages, determine whether genetic diversity in the highland South Caucasus has been shaped by language or geography, and assess whether Svan genetic diversity was structured by regional residence patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed mtDNA and Y-chromosome variation in 184 individua…
