Sur les traces des néandertaliens, suivant le réseau hydrographique en Europe
Les néandertaliens ont été les uniques habitants de l’Europe entre 400000 et 50000 ans avant le présent (AP), répartis sur l’ensemble du territoire européen, et de l’Asie de l’Ouest jusqu’aux hautes montagnes de l’Altaï en Russie. Après l’arrivée de l’Homme anatomiquement moderne en Europe, les néandertaliens voient leur territoire se rétrécir. La rivière est un élément indispensable pour les chasseurs-cueilleurs, car elle constitue l’habitat des…
Dynamiques migratoires et patronymes: Étude sur quatre zones du sud-ouest de la France : Pays Basque, Béarn, Bigorre et Chalosse
Une enquête sur la mobilité en milieu rural au début du XXème siècle a été menée dans les Pyrénées occidentales, couvrant le Pays Basque, le Béarn, la Bigorre et la Chalosse. Un échantillon de plus de 1600 personnes regroupées en 351 groupes familiaux incluant enfants, parents et grands-parents a permis de quantifier les différentes migrations, celles entre lieux de naissance et d’habitation des parents et de leurs enfants, et celles entre lieux …
Neanderthal Demographic Estimates
This article offers a critical review of population estimates for the Neanderthal metapopulation based on (paleo-) biological, archaeological, climatic, and genetic data. What do these data tell us about putative Neanderthal demography? Biological data suggest a similar demographic frame (life-history traits, such as potential maximum longevity, age at menarche, and duration of gestation) between Neanderthals and modern humans. Archaeological dat…
Neanderthals versus Modern Humans: Evidence for Resource Competition from Isotopic Modelling
During later MOIS3, in Europe two populations were present, autochthonous Neanderthals and modern humans. Ecological competition between these two populations has often been evoked but never demonstrated. Our aim is to establish whether resource competition occurred. In this paper, in order to examine the possibility of ecological competition between these two populations, 599 isotopic data were subjected to rigorous statistical treatment and ana…
Gender and population history: Sex bias revealed by studying genetic admixture of Ngazidja population (Comoro Archipelago)
The peopling of Comoro Archipelago is defined by successive waves of migration from three main areas: the East African Coast (Bantu‐speaking populations), the Persia and Arabian Peninsula, and Southeast Asia (especially Indonesia). It follows an apparent classic trihybrid admixture model. To better understand the Comorian population admixture dynamics, we analyzed the contributions of these three historical parental components to its genetic pool…
Génétique et paléoanthropologie: Deux approches pour un dialogue autour des Néandertaliens
Depuis la première découverte de fossiles néandertaliens, les paléoanthropologues se sont intéressés à ce taxon et ont apporté des réponses visant à expliquer son histoire et son extinction. À partir de 1997, la paléogénétique a commencé, elle aussi, à étudier la question, en s’appuyant sur l’analyse de l’ADN mitochondrial (l’ADNmt) puis sur celle de l’ADN nucléaire (l’ADNn) d’une quinzaine de fossiles répartis entre l’Europe et l’Asie. Dans cett…
Genetic Evidence of Geographical Groups among Neanderthals
The Neanderthals are a well-distinguished Middle Pleistocene population which inhabited a vast geographical area extending from Europe to western Asia and the Middle East. Since the 1950s paleoanthropological studies have suggested variability in this group. Different sub-groups have been identified in western Europe, in southern Europe and in the Middle East. On the other hand, since 1997, research has been published in paleogenetics, carried ou…
AdFiT v1.7 (Admixture Files Tool): Input files creating tool for population genetic admixture estimation software
The six most commonly used software programs in the literature for population genetic admixture estimation since 20 years, are ADMIX, ADMIX95, Mistura, Admix 2.0, LEA, and LEADMIX, and each one has its own specific file format and filename extensions. We present a specific tool that can help in the file creation process: AdFiT (Admixture Files Tool) version 1.7, a multi-language software (English, French and Spanish). It allows, from a common fil…
Medical Genetic Polymorphisms as Markers of Evolutionary Forces Within the Human Genome: Hypotheses Focusing on Natural Selection in the Basque Population
Natural selection, drift, and gene flow are the three major evolutionary forces at the origin of genetic diversity among human populations. To further explore these mechanisms, we present an innovative approach using various medical genetic markers and focusing on the Basque population. From this study we can confirm the important role of drift in this endogamous human group and can report some disorders related to founder effects. Most important…
DNA‐based typing of Kell, Kidd, MNS, Dombrock, Colton, and Yt blood group systems in the French Basques
The Basques demonstrate peculiar characteristics regarding blood group systems. Although ABO, Rhesus, and Duffy have been extensively studied in this population, the distribution of other groups remains largely unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the frequency of less‐explored‐ or still noninvestigated blood groups using DNA‐based assays and interpreted these data in the view of population genetics. Polymorphisms of KEL (Kell), SLCA14A1 (Kidd), GYPA…
Genetic hematology of french basques: Recent data about this peculiar pyrenean people
The Basques demonstrate marked specificities regarding language, genetics and culture among all European populations. They live at the Western end of the Pyrenees along the Atlantic Ocean and are thought to represent the descendants of the Upper-Palaeolithic men. We have investigated French Basques for several genetic hematology markers including hemotypology (ABO and Rhesus groups) and inherited diseases such as genetic hemochromatosis (iron ove…
Duffy blood group genotyping in French Basques using polymerase chain reaction with allele‐specific primers (PCR‐ASP)
Blood group antigens such as Duffy represent interesting models for population genetics studies. The distribution of the Duffy blood group was determined using PCR in a sample of Basque (n = 126) and non‐Basque (n = 110) patients from the general hospital of the French Basque Country. The frequency of FY*A allele was significantly lower among autochthonous French Basques ( P
Genetic Characterization of the Population of Grande Comore Island (Njazidja) According to Major Blood Groups
The Comorian population is historically considered a blend of influences from African Bantus, Arabs, and possibly Austronesians. In this study we present the first genetic data on the current Comorian population. Serologic analysis of the six major blood group systems (ABO, RH, KEL, FY, JK, and MNS) was performed on 164 individuals from Grande Comore Island (Njazidja). In addition, Duffy genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction usin…
A Bayesian approach to infer geographical origins of migrants through surnames
This method is exemplified using civil birth registers at different geographical scales. The pgo of migrants, estimated between two periods (1891-1915 and 1916-1940), (i) from French departments to Paris (ii), from these departments to Tarbes, and (iii) from counties surrounding Tarbes to Tarbes, are mapped and discussed
Flemish immigration in wallonia and in france: Patronyms as Data
Flemish emigration during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is too complex to be dealt with definitively in a single article. Our main objective is to provide an overview of the migration towards France and Wallonia by looking at its chronology, and the spatial distribution of emigrants and their descendants. In this effort, patronym distribution is very helpful. As markers of migratory movements, patronyms from a collection of nominative li…
Past malaria, thalassemia and woman fertility in southern Italy
The role of natural selection in maintaining the thalassemia polymorphism is examined in a southern Italy district, in the past affected by malaria endemia. The Haldane's hypothesis that the thalassemia heterozygotes enjoy more protection than the normal homozygotes against the risk of malaria infection, seems to be confirmed by this indirect study at population level. The higher number of children born of the women who lived in the highly endemi…
