Scanning the human genome for “signatures” of positive selection
The relationship history of evolutionary anthropology and genetics is complex. At best, genetics is a beautifully integrative part of the discipline. Yet this integration has also been fraught, with punctuated, disruptive challenges to dogma, periodic reluctance by some members of the field to embrace results from analyses of genetic data, and occasional over‐assertions of genetic definitiveness by geneticists. At worst, evolutionary genetics has…
Subfossil lemur discoveries from the Beanka Protected Area in western Madagascar
A new fossil site in a previously unexplored part of western Madagascar (the Beanka Protected Area) has yielded remains of many recently extinct vertebrates, including giant lemurs ( Babakotia radofilai , Palaeopropithecus kelyus , Pachylemur sp., and Archaeolemur edwardsi ), carnivores ( Cryptoprocta spelea ), the aardvark-like Plesiorycteropus sp., and giant ground cuckoos ( Coua ). Many of these represent considerable range extensions. Extant …
Studying human and nonhuman primate evolutionary biology with powerful in vitro and in vivo functional genomics tools
In recent years, tools for functional genomic studies have become increasingly feasible for use by evolutionary anthropologists. In this review, we provide brief overviews of several exciting in vitro techniques that can be paired with “‐omics” approaches (e.g., genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) for potentially powerful evolutionary insights. These in vitro techniques include ancestral protein resurrection, cel…
Archaeogenomic evidence reveals prehistoric matrilineal dynasty
For societies with writing systems, hereditary leadership is documented as one of the hallmarks of early political complexity and governance. In contrast, it is unknown whether hereditary succession played a role in the early formation of prehistoric complex societies that lacked writing. Here we use an archaeogenomic approach to identify an elite matriline that persisted between 800 and 1130 CE in Chaco Canyon, the centre of an expansive prehist…
Extending Genome-wide Association Study Results to Test Classic Anthropological Hypotheses
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies regions of the genome that likely affect the variable state of a phenotype of interest. These regions can then be studied with population genetic methods to make inferences about the evolutionary history of the trait. There are increasing opportunities to use GWAS results-even from clinically motivated studies-for tests of classic anthropological hypotheses. One such example, presented here as a c…

An evolutionary medicine perspective on Neandertal extinction
Deadwood Structural Properties May Influence Aye-Aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) Extractive Foraging Behavior
Genomic perspectives on the history and evolutionary ecology of tropical rainforest occupation by humans
Comparative and population mitogenomic analyses of Madagascar's extinct, giant 'subfossil' lemurs
Insights into hominin phenotypic and dietary evolution from ancient DNA sequence data
Ancient DNA and human evolution
Primate Conservation Genomics and Paleogenomics
Anthropological Genetics
Over the past few decades, anthropologists have increasingly used genetic approaches in their efforts to understand humans and their primate relatives.Technological and theoretical developments in recent years have enabled anthropological geneticists to expand their field of inquiry far beyond what was thought possible even a few years ago (Crawford 2000).Most importantly, the cost of collecting large genetic data sets has dropped dramatically, a…
Parasites and human evolution
Our understanding of human evolutionary and population history can be advanced by ecological and evolutionary studies of our parasites. Many parasites flourish only in the presence of very specific human behaviors and in specific habitats, are wholly dependent on us, and have evolved with us for thousands or millions of years. Therefore, by asking when and how we first acquired those parasites, under which environmental and cultural conditions we…
The Promise and Practicality of Population Genomics Research with Endangered Species
The lack of acceptance of evolutionary approaches to human behaviour
This study investigates the key factors influencing acceptance of the relevance of evolutionary theory to human behaviour, and the attitudes underlying them. Using data gathered from a wide-ranging questionnaire survey of students and staff in UK universities on attitudes to science, evolution and its application to human behaviour, multivariate analysis reveals that studying social sciences and sociocultural anthropology correlate with rejection…
