Bringing together linguistic and genetic evidence to test the Bantu expansion [PDF]

, 2012
The expansion of Bantu languages represents one of the most momentous events in the history of Africa. While it is well accepted that Bantu languages spread from their homeland (Cameroon/Nigeria) ~5,000 years ago (ya), there is no consensus about the ...

Biocultural diversity of common walnut (Juglans regia L.) and sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) across Eurasia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 20, Page 11192-11216, October 2020., 2020
Little is known about how anthropogenic processes have affected the evolution of tree species with a long‐time‐scale history of human utilization such as common walnut (Juglans regia L.) and sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.). In this study, we evaluated the impact of isolation by distance processes, landscape heterogeneity, and cultural boundaries

A Survey of Visual Analytics for Public Health

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 543-580, February 2020., 2020
We describe visual analytics solutions aiming to support public health professionals, and thus, preventive measures. Prevention aims at advocating behaviour and policy changes likely to improve human health. Public health strives to limit the outbreak of acute diseases as well as the reduction of chronic diseases and injuries.

Millet agriculture dispersed from Northeast China to the Russian Far East: integrating archaeology, genetics, and linguistics

, 2020
Broomcorn and foxtail millets were being cultivated in the West Liao River basin in Northeast China by at least the sixth millennium BCE. However, when and how millet agriculture spread from there to the north and east remains poorly understood. Here, we

Activation thresholds in epidemic spreading with motile infectious agents on scale-free networks [PDF]

, 2018
We investigate a fermionic susceptible-infected-susceptible model with mobility of infected individuals on uncorrelated scale-free networks with power-law degree distributions $P (k) \sim k^{-\gamma}$ of exponents ...

The Mechanisms of Neolithisation of Western Europe: Beyond a South/North Approach

Open Archaeology, 2021
Up until now, the neolithisation of Western Europe during the sixth millennium BCE has mainly been approached through the characterisation of its diffusion vectors (cultural vs demic diffusion) and the emergence of technoeconomic innovations (rhythms ...

A framework for epidemic spreading in multiplex networks of metapopulations [PDF]

, 2018
We propose a theoretical framework for the study of epidemics in structured metapopulations, with heterogeneous agents, subjected to recurrent mobility patterns.

Paleogenomics of the prehistory of Europe: human migrations, domestication and disease

Annals of Human Biology, 2021
A substantial portion of ancient DNA research has been centred on understanding European populations’ origin and evolution. A rchaeological evidence has already shown that the peopling of Europe involved an intricate pattern of demic and/or cultural ...

Investigating demic versus cultural diffusion and sex bias in the spread of Austronesian languages in Vietnam. [PDF]

PLoS One
Austronesian (AN) is the second-largest language family in the world, particularly widespread in Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) and Oceania. In Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA), groups speaking these languages are concentrated in the highlands of Vietnam. However, our knowledge of the spread of AN-speaking populations in MSEA remains limited; in particular,

Epidemic processes in complex networks [PDF]

, 2015
In recent years the research community has accumulated overwhelming evidence for the emergence of complex and heterogeneous connectivity patterns in a wide range of biological and sociotechnical systems. The complex properties of real-world networks have
