Effects of Ascertainment Bias on Recovering Human Demographic History
In recent years multilocus data sets have been used to study the demographic history of human populations. In this paper (1) analyses previously done on 60 short tandem repeat (STR) loci are repeated on 30 restriction site polymorphism (RSP) markers; (2) relative population weights are estimated from the RSP data set and compared to previously published estimates from STR and craniometric data sets; and (3) computer simulations are performed to s…

Local Extinction and Recolonization, Species Effective Population Size, and Modern Human Origins
A primary objection from a population genetics perspective to a multiregional model of modern human origins is that the model posits a large census size, whereas genetic data suggest a small effective population size. The relationship between census size and effective size is complex, but arguments based on an island model of migration show that if the effective population size reflects the number of breeding individuals and the effects of popula…
Estimating relative population sizes from simulated data sets and the question of greater African effective size
Previous genetic and craniometric studies have suggested greater genetic diversity and a larger effective size in Africa. Several demographic scenarios can explain a larger African effective size, and anthropological geneticists have attempted to obtain better estimates of relative population sizes among continental regions in the Old World. A least‐squares approach of estimating relative population weights was developed by Relethford and Harpend…
Population substructure and isolation by distance in three continental regions
Isolation by distance and divergence from a shared population history are two sources of population substructure. Isolation by distance erases population history as populations approach migration-drift equilibrium, while diverging populations descended from a single ancestral population will accumulate genetic differences with time. Here I investigate how much of the worldwide genetic diversity from Jorde et al.'s ([1997] Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U…
