Modern and Ancient Genomes Reveal Neolithic Paternal Expansions of Millet and Rice Farmers and Demic Diffusion from China into Mainland Southeast Asia [PDF]

Advanced Science
The genomic formation and diversity of underrepresented southern Chinese and Southeast Asian populations have long fascinated researchers, particularly regarding Late Paleolithic to Holocene expansions and early paternal interactions.

A Comparison of Y-Chromosome Variation in Sardinia and Anatolia Is More Consistent with Cultural Rather than Demic Diffusion of Agriculture [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Two alternative models have been proposed to explain the spread of agriculture in Europe during the Neolithic period. The demic diffusion model postulates the spreading of farmers from the Middle East along a Southeast to Northeast axis.

Environmental effects on the spread of the Neolithic crop package to South Asia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2022
The emergence of Neolithic economies and their spread through Eurasia was one of the most crucial transitions of the Holocene, with different mechanisms of diffusion-demic, cultural-being proposed.

Archaeological expansions in tropical South America during the late Holocene: Assessing the role of demic diffusion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Human expansions motivated by the spread of farming are one of the most important processes that shaped cultural geographies during the Holocene. The best known example of this phenomenon is the Neolithic expansion in Europe, but parallels in other parts

Craniometric data supports demic diffusion model for the spread of agriculture into Europe. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:The spread of agriculture into Europe and the ancestry of the first European farmers have been subjects of debate and controversy among geneticists, archaeologists, linguists and anthropologists. Debates have centred on the extent to which the

Deep Learning Empowered Microstructure Codebook: New Paradigm for Multi-Parameter Tissue Characterization Estimation. [PDF]

Hum Brain Mapp
We propose DEMIC, a deep‐learning microstructure codebook framework for dMRI microstructure imaging: (1) accurate multi‐parameter estimation from undersampled data; (2) robust cross‐protocol and cross‐model generalization; and (3) flexible transfer to new microstructural indices via fine‐tuning.

Modeling the European Neolithic expansion suggests predominant within-group mating and limited cultural transmission [PDF]

Nature Communications
The Neolithic Revolution initiated a pivotal change in human society, marking the shift from foraging to farming. Historically, the underlying mechanisms of agricultural expansion have been a topic of debate, centered around two primary models: cultural ...

Not by Selection Alone: Expanding the Scope of Gene-Culture Coevolution. [PDF]

Evol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Gene‐culture coevolution (GCC)—an ambitious synthesis of biological and social sciences is often used to explain the evolution of key human traits. Despite the framework's broad conceptual appeal however, empirical evidence is often perceived as limited to a few key examples like lactase persistence.

The demic expansion of Yangshao culture inferred from ancient human genomes [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Originating from the middle Yellow River, Yangshao culture is one of the most influential archaeological cultures in Neolithic China. It has long been debated whether there was a genetic substructure between the core Yangshao sites and those ...
