The dispersal of Austronesian languages in Island South East Asia: Current findings and debates

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2019., 2019
Abstract This paper reviews the “standard” view of the Austronesian language family tree in connection with the archeological “farming/language dispersal” hypothesis of Neolithic populations moving into Island South East Asia (ISEA) and beyond. It focuses on what is currently known about the dispersal history of the ~650 languages spoken in ISEA ...

Process‐based modelling shows how climate and demography shape language diversity

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 584-591, May 2017., 2017
Abstract Aim Two fundamental questions about human language demand answers: why are so many languages spoken today and why is their geographical distribution so uneven? Although hypotheses have been proposed for centuries, the processes that determine patterns of linguistic and cultural diversity remain poorly understood. Previous studies, which relied

Significant East Asian Affinity of the Sichuan Hui Genomic Structure Suggests the Predominance of the Cultural Diffusion Model in the Genetic Formation Process

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The ancestral origin and genomic history of Chinese Hui people remain to be explored due to the paucity of genome-wide data. Some evidence argues that an eastward migration of Central Asians gave rise to modern Hui people, which is referred to as the ...

Neolithic skull shapes and demic diffusion: a bioarchaeological investigation into the nature of the Neolithic transition

Documenta Praehistorica, 2006
There is a growing body of evidence that the spread of farming in Europe was not a single uniform process, but that it involved a complex set of processes such as demic diffusion, folk migration, frontier mobility, and leapfrog colonisation ...

Changing Pattern of Clinical Illness in Children with Group A Streptococcal Bacteremia

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 341-346, 1993., 1993
Objective: To test the hypothesis that bacteremia caused by group A streptococci (gas) has become more common and the presentation of the infection more severe in the Izaak Walton Killam Hospital for Children during the past decade. Design: Retrospective analysis by laboratory log and chart review.

History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity

Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community‐based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin‐tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat‐tailed sheep into eastern Africa.

Phylogenetic evidence reveals early Kra-Dai divergence and dispersal in the late Holocene

Nature Communications, 2023
Studying language evolution brings a crucial perspective to bear on questions of human prehistory. As the most linguistically diverse region on earth, East and Southeast Asia have witnessed extensive sociocultural and ethnic contacts among different ...
