The Simons Genome Diversity Project
Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300 individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base pairs that are not present in the human reference genome. Our analysis reveals key features of the landscape of human genome variation, including that the rate of accumulation of mutations has accelerated by about 5% in non-Africans compared to Africans since divergenc…
Temporal, Seasonal, and Regional Differences in Births and Deaths in land (Finland)
A good knowledge of the seasonal variation during normal years is of fundamental importance for analyses of the effects of wars, famines, epidemics, or similar privations on births and deaths. In this study we consider data from the Åland Islands (Finland) for 1650–1950. During the period 1650–1793 there are subperiods with missing data for all parishes, and consequently the total data for the Åland Islands for this period have to be estimated us…

Mobile DNA elements in primate and human evolution
Roughly 50% of the primate genome consists of mobile, repetitive DNA sequences such as Alu and LINE1 elements. The causes and evolutionary consequences of mobile element insertion, which have received considerable attention during the past decade, are reviewed in this article. Because of their unique mutational mechanisms, these elements are highly useful for answering phylogenetic questions. We demonstrate how they have been used to help resolve…
Ethnogenomic diversity of Caucasus, Daghestan
Autosomal short‐tandem repeats (STRs) were typed in ethnic populations of Kubachians, Dargins, Avars, Lezgins, Kumiks, and Nogais of the Caucasus (Daghestan, Russia) at the University of Utah. Daghestan ethnic populations demonstrated differences in STR allele frequency distributions, but these differences were much lower among these ethnic groups compared to worldwide ethnic groups. The observed genetic diversity was low while F ST values were h…
Genetic variation, classification and 'race'
Genetics and Population History of Caucasus Populations
We describe aspects of genetic diversity in several ethnic populations of the Caucasus Mountains of Daghestan using mitochondrial DNA sequences and a sample of 100 polymorphic Alu insertion loci. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences are like those of Europe. Principal coordinates and nearest neighbor statistics show that there is little detectable structure in the distances among populations computed from mtDNA. The Alu frequencies of the Cauc…
Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Nicobarese Islanders
The aboriginal populations living in the Nicobar Islands are hypothesized to be descendants of people who were part of early human dispersals into Southeast Asia. However, analyses of ethnographic histories, languages, morphometric data, and protein polymorphisms have not yet resolved which worldwide populations are most closely related to the Nicobarese. Thus, to explore the origins and affinities of the Nicobar Islanders, we analyzed mitochondr…

Multiple origins of the mtDNA 9-bp deletion in populations of South India
The origins and genetic affinities of the more than 500 tribal populations living in South Asia are widely disputed. This may reflect differential contributions that continental populations have made to tribal groups in South Asia. We assayed for the presence of the intergenic COII/tRNALys 9-bp deletion in human mtDNA in 646 individuals from 12 caste and 14 tribal populations of South India and compared them to individuals from Africa, Europe, an…
Genetic evidence for larger African population size during recent human evolution
Genetic evidence suggests that the long-term average effective size of sub-Saharan Africa is larger than other geographic regions. A method is described that allows estimation of relative long-term regional population sizes. This method is applied to 60 microsatellite DNA loci from a sample of 72 sub-Saharan Africans, 63 East Asians, and 120 Europeans. Average heterozygosity is significantly higher in the sub-Saharan African sample. Expected hete…

Genetic traces of ancient demography
Patterns of gene differences among humans contain information about the demographic history of our species. Haploid loci like mitochondrial DNA and the nonrecombining part of the Y chromosome show a pattern indicating expansion from a population of only several thousand during the late middle or early upper Pleistocene. Nuclear short tandem repeat loci also show evidence of this expansion. Both mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome coalesce with…
Genetic structure of the Utah Mormons
Kinship estimates based on shared proportions of European ancestry are constructed for 284 Utah males born in eight geographic subdivisions. These "ancestral kinship" estimates are compared with kinship coefficients based on DNA polymorphisms, blood groups, genealogies, isonymy, and migration matrices. At the subdivision level, a high correlation is observed between ancestral kinship and kinship based on isonymy. Comparing individuals, a signific…

Inbreeding in Finland
We have compiled data on the frequency of first‐cousin marriages in Finland using royal dispensation records for the time period 1810–1872 and national population statistics for the time period 1878–1920. For the earlier period, 0.315% of Finland's marriages were contracted between first cousins (2,331 of 739,387). During the second time period, 0.174% of Finland's marriages took place between first cousins (1,325 of 761,976). These figures, whic…
Predicting smallpox epidemics
We analysis data on death due to smallpox in two subdivided Finish populations, the relatively isolated Åland Islands and the mainland parish of Kitee. The data span a 135‐year time period (1750–1885). Logisitic regression and Cox proportional hazards models are used to assess the effects of predictive variables on (1) the probability that an individual subdivision experiences an epidemic and (2) the length of the time period between two epidemic…
Consanguinity avoidance and mate choice in Sottunga, Finland
Potential mates analysis is used to determine some of the social and demographic characteristics that influence mate choice in a small island population. Potential mate pools are defined for males in this population; characteristics such as population size and composition with respect to consanguinity are specified. Determinants of mate choice are examined in light of mate availability and potential mate pool characteristics for endogamous maters…
Smallpox and Its Eradication in Finland
Cause-specific mortality studies are vital for a full understanding of the determinants of mortality and epidemiological transitions. The exceptional detail and accuracy of archival materials in Finland, as well as the length of the period covered, offer an ideal opportunity for such analyses. Focussing upon the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the history, decline, and eventual eradication of smallpox is detailed. It has often been…
Marital migration and genetic structure in Kitee, Finland
A genetic analysis of marital migration in Kitee, Finland, is presented. The data are based on 9970 marriages which took place between 1750 and 1877. The results of this analysis are compared with those of previous studies of the population of the Åland Islands, Finland. Analysis of inter-subdivision genetic kinship matrices shows that genetic heterogeneity in Kitee is substantially less than in Åland. This is due primarily to higher rates of mig…
Founder effect and genetic disease in Sottunga, Finland
Pedigree data are analyzed in order to determine the factors responsible for the high frequencies of certain genetic disorders in an isolated Swedish‐speaking population of Finland's Å land archipelago. The founders of Sottunga are identified, and the genetic contributions of each founder to descending birth cohorts are estimated. Founders born before 1700 have far more descendants in the contemporary gene pool than do more recent founders. Howev…
Inbreeding and genetic disease in Sottunga, Finland
The contribution of inbreeding to the prevalence of recessive genetic diseases in the Åland Island parish of Sottunga is investigated. Genealogical data for 3,030 individuals spanning up to 15 generations were used to estimate inbreeding. This small island community shows a low average inbreeding value of .0031 for the period 1725–1975. A cohort analysis shows that inbreeding increased from 1750 to 1900, when maximum inbreeding for those born in …
Genetic structure of the saguenay, 1852–1911
The Saguenay is a region in northeastern Québec populated in the second half of the 19th century through migration from other parts of Québec. The present‐day population of nearly 300,000 is the result of both immigration and high rates of intrinsic growth. This population has been of interest to geneticists because of the high incidence of certain hereditary diseases, notably spastic ataxia, tyrosinemia, agenesis of the corpus callosum, vitamin …
Genetic structure of Utah Mormons
Isonymy analysis is reported for a sample of 188,895 marriages extracted from the Utah Genealogical Database. Inbreeding rates estimated by isonymy are low, ranging from 0.005 for the earliest marriage cohort (1800–1809) to 0.0008 in the most recent cohort (1950–1959). The inbreeding values decrease considerably through time, but they are consistently higher than inbreeding values estimated from pedigrees. Several explanations are offered for thi…

Historical epidemiology of smallpox in Åland, Finland
We analyze a 140-year series of smallpox deaths in the Åland Islands, Finland. Vaccination, introduced in 1805, dramatically reduced the annual number of smallpox deaths. It also influenced the age distribution of smallpox deaths, changing smallpox from a childhood disease before 1805 to one which affected both adults and children after 1805. This appears to be due to the fact that Ålanders were usually vaccinated only once during childhood and o…

Population structure in the Connecticut Valley. I. Marital migration
This study reports on an analysis of marital migration among 12 communities in the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts during the years 1790–1849. Genetic inferences are drawn, and the requisite assumptions considered. The effect of geographic distance on genetic kinship is predicted using Malécot's isolation‐by‐distance model. The resulting estimates are discussed in terms of geographic and historical factors. The configuration of communit…

A nonparametric distance analysis of biochemical genetic data from the Åland Islands, Finland
Biochemical genetic data from 3272 individuals from the Åland Islands, Finland, are analyzed using a recently developed set of nonparametric genetic distance measures. These measures are more robust than the traditional methods used in previous studies of this population. While there was general agreement in the results of the traditional and nonparametric approaches, some important differences were seen. In these cases, the nonparametric methods…

The Genetic Structure of Subdivided Human Populations
Genetic structure in Cumbria
Genetic structure of the Cumbrian population is examined from data on gene and genotype frequency distributions, on geographical location, and on population movement in two generations. The population is genetically heterogeneous; the central Lake District particularly, and also Carlisle and the southern periphery, stand out as distinct from the remainder and from each other. Regional subdivision of the population is sufficient to lead to some in…
Genetic variation in Cumbrians
Regional variation in the genetic constitution of the Cumbrian population is demonstrated in a survey of blood groups, red cell enzymes, and secretor status in a large sample of schoolchildren. In particular, the south and centre appear to be distinct from the remainder of Cumbria, but in different directions. The features of the central Lake District, tending towards gene frequencies observed in Norway, suggest that it may be a region in which t…
