The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans
African Origins The modern human originated in Africa and subsequently spread across the globe. However, the genetic relationships among the diverse populations on the African continent have been unclear. Tishkoff et al. (p. 1035; see the cover, published online 30 April) provide a detailed genetic analysis of most major groups of African populations. The findings suggest that Africans represent 14 ancestral populations. Populations tend to be of…
The collective-risk social dilemma and the prevention of simulated dangerous climate change
Will a group of people reach a collective target through individual contributions when everyone suffers individually if the target is missed? This “collective-risk social dilemma” exists in various social scenarios, the globally most challenging one being the prevention of dangerous climate change. Reaching the collective target requires individual sacrifice, with benefits to all but no guarantee that others will also contribute. It even seems te…
Convergent adaptation of human lactase persistence in Africa and Europe
Brief communication
Recovery of ancient DNA has become an increasingly important tool in elucidating the origins of past populations and their relationships. Unfortunately, many human skeletal remains do not contain original DNA amplifiable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Amino‐acid racemization has proven to be a useful predictor of ancient DNA results. We analyzed the relative levels of amino‐acid preservation and racemization of human samples from two highlan…
