Parallel adaptive divergence among geographically diverse human populations. by Jacob A Tennessen, Joshua M Akey

“…Few genetic differences between human populations conform to the classic model of positive selection, in which a newly arisen mutation rapidly approaches fixation in one lineage, suggesting that adaptation more commonly occurs via moderate changes in standing variation at many loci. …”

Impact of human population density on fire frequency at the global scale by W. Knorr, T. Kaminski, A. Arneth, U. Weber

“…While local studies have found more fires close to settlements and roads, assimilated charcoal records and analyses of regional fire patterns from remote-sensing observations point to a decline in fire frequency with increasing human population. Here, we present a global analysis using three multi-year satellite-based burned-area products combined with a parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis with a non-linear model. …”

Analysing human population movement data for malaria control and elimination by Tam, G, Cowling, BJ, Maude, RJ

Human population structure and demographic history using genetic markers by Wilson, J, James F. Wilson

“…Third, I demonstrate that the genetic structure inferred in a heterogeneous sample using neutral markers (a) shows ethnic labels to be inaccurate descriptions of human population structure, and (b) predicts drug metabolising profiles, defined by the distribution of drug metabolising enzyme variants. …”

The evolution of the α- and β-globin gene clusters in human populations by Hill, A, Wainscoat, J

“…Because of this extensive polymorphism DNA analysis offers a highly informative method of studying genetic affinities between human populations. Haplotypes, consisting of a set of restriction enzyme polymorphisms distributed along the cluster, have been developed for both loci. …”
