Out of Africa: A Solidarity‐Based Approach to Vaccine Allocation

Hastings Center Report, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 27-36, May‐June 2021., 2021
Abstract This article sets forth a solidaristic approach to global distribution of vaccines against the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus. Our approach draws inspiration from African ethics and from the characterization of the Covid‐19 crisis as a syndemic, a convergence of biosocial forces that interact with one another to produce and exacerbate clinical disease and ...

A multidisciplinary overview on the Tupi-speaking people expansion. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
Expansion of Tupi linguistic subfamilies. Abstract The cultural and biological diversity of South American indigenous groups represent extremes of human variability, exhibiting one of the highest linguistic diversities alongside a remarkably low within‐population genetic variation and an extremely high inter‐population genetic differentiation.

The process of Neolithisation in South-eastern Europe: from ceramic female figurines and cereal grains to entoptics and human nuclear DNA polymorphic markers

Documenta Praehistorica, 2005
Paper discusses concepts of ‘neolithic package’, ‘demic diffusion’ and ‘revolution of symbols’ in relation to the process of Neolithisation in South-eastern Europe and the phylogeography of Y chromosome haplogroups I1b*, J and E.

Female and male perspectives on the neolithic transition in Europe: clues from ancient and modern genetic data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The arrival of agriculture into Europe during the Neolithic transition brought a significant shift in human lifestyle and subsistence. However, the conditions under which the spread of the new culture and technologies occurred are still debated ...

A simulation of the Neolithic transition in Western Eurasia [PDF]

, 2011
Farming and herding were introduced to Europe from the Near East and Anatolia; there are, however, considerable arguments about the mechanisms of this transition.

Demic Diffusion of the Yayoi People in the Japanese Archipelago

Letters on Evolutionary Behavioral Science, 2023
The present study examines the 3-dimensional data of human crania from the Yayoi period (800 BC to AD 250) of the Japanese archipelago by geometric morphometrics to investigate demic diffusion patterns. This is the first study on the Yayoi crania using their 3D data and geometric morphometrics with a much larger number of skeletal remains outside of ...

Genetic affinity between Ningxia Hui and eastern Asian populations revealed by a set of InDel loci [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
According to historical records, ethnic Hui in China obtained substantial genetic components from western Eurasian populations during their Islamization. However, some scholars believed that the ancestry of Hui people were native Chinese populations.

Modeling Demic and Cultural Diffusion: An Introduction

Human Biology, 2015
Identifying the processes by which human cultures spread across different populations is one of the most topical objectives shared among different fields of study. Seminal works have analyzed a variety of data and attempted to determine whether empirically observed patterns are the result of demic and/or cultural diffusion.

Male-Dominated Migration and Massive Assimilation of Indigenous East Asians in the Formation of Muslim Hui People in Southwest China

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The origin and diversification of Muslim Hui people in China via demic or simple cultural diffusion is a long-going debate. We here generated genome-wide data at nearly 700,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 45 Hui and 14 Han Chinese ...
