Our results show ancestry shifts in the Neolithization of northwestern Africa that probably mirrored a heterogeneous economic and cultural landscape, in a more multifaceted process than observed in other regions. (blogspot.com)
It shares the continental landmass of Afro-Eurasia with both Africa and Asia . (explained.today)
Populations5
By analogy, the term metapopulation is used in forensic genetics to describe a set of geographically dispersed populations with shared ancestry and continuing geneflow. (wikipedia.org)
In countries like US, Brazil, UK or China which are characterized by strong population substructure national reference databases are often built on basis of a historical concept of ethnic affiliation, e.g. the US population is sub-structured in Caucasian, African, Hispanic, Asian and Native American populations or UK differentiates English, Afro-Caribbean, Indo-Pakistani and Chinese. (wikipedia.org)
To me it is interesting that there is no Sub-Saharan African ancestry in the earliest populations, indicating that the Sahara was really not habitable for humans for much of the Ice Age. (blogspot.com)
We observe a meaningful contribution of autochthonous populations, as well as highly heterogeneous ancestry including many individuals with non-local ancestries from other parts of the Mediterranean region. (bvsalud.org)
The term race refers to the concept of dividing people into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of characteristics and beliefs about common ancestry. (daynal.org)
Distances1
The Khasi language belongs to one of the three major broad classifications or phyla of the Austroasiatic language and the speakers of the three sub-groups are separated from each other by large geographical distances. (blogspot.com)
Ethnicity2
The Metapopulation structure built on basis of "ethnicity/linguistic affiliation" takes to a larger extent the ancestry of sampled individuals into account. (wikipedia.org)
When comparing between continental ethnicity, meaning sorting African from European from Asian from Native American, these tests are relatively accurate, meaning there is sometimes a little bit of overlap, but not much. (dna-explained.com)
Ancestral1
This leads scholars to conclude that, apart from the Mongoloid group that had made their way into Hokkaido, there must have been a second Mongoloid group (also originating from the ancestral Baikal Buryat people) who must have made their way from Siberia and into the southern Ryukyan part of the Japanese archipelago (and later Kyushu) via the other land bridge across the Tsushima Strait from the Korean peninsula.

Individuals4
Each national Metapopulation in the YHRD comprises all individuals sampled in a particular country regardless of the ancestry of the individuals. (wikipedia.org)
Continental Metapopulations in the YHRD comprises all individuals sampled in a particular continent regardless of their ancestries. (wikipedia.org)
Probably a high-status individual, his Y-chromosome haplotype, R1b1, also characterized the high-status individuals buried under kurgans in later Yamnaya graves in this region, so he could be regarded as a founder of an elite group of patrilineally related families. (blogspot.com)
Given visually complex social relationships, humans presumably have always observed and speculated about the physical differences among individuals and groups. (daynal.org)
Migration1
In population genetics the term metapopulation describes discrete spatially distributed population groups which are interconnected by geneflow and migration. (wikipedia.org)
African2
Medieval models of "race" mixed Classical ideas with the notion that humanity as a whole was descended from Shem , Ham and Japheth , the three sons of Noah , producing distinct Semitic ( Asian ), Hamitic ( African ), and Japhetic ( European ) peoples. (daynal.org)
The rise of the Atlantic slave trade , which gradually displaced an earlier trade in slaves from throughout the world, created a further incentive to categorize human groups in order to justify the subordination of African slaves. (daynal.org)
Results1
Results of craniological analysis of 111 tiger skulls from Southeast Asian range countries indicate that Sumatran tiger skulls differ from Indochinese and Javan tiger skulls, whereas Bali tiger skulls are similar in size to Javan tiger skulls. (casplantje.nl)
Cultural2
Ancestry" is a term collating historical, cultural, geographical and linguistic categories. (wikipedia.org)
Smedley 1999) As Europeans encountered people from different parts of the world , they speculated about the physical, social, and cultural differences among various human groups. (daynal.org)
Categories2
Currently the YHRD database recognizes four separate "metapopulation" structures: national, continental, linguistic/ethnic and phylogenetic affiliation with several categories within. (wikipedia.org)
For example, the Ancient Egyptian sacred text called Book of Gates identifies four ethnic categories that are now conventionally labeled "Egyptians", "Asiatics", "Libyans", and "Nubians", but such distinctions tended to conflate differences as defined by physical features such as skin tone, with tribal and national identity. (daynal.org)
European1
We suggest that farming was introduced by European migrants and was then rapidly adopted by local groups. (blogspot.com)
Asia1
The Khasi speakers are separated from their nearest Austroasiatic language-speaking sub-groups: the "Mundari" sub-family from East and peninsular India and the "Mon-Khmers" in Mainland Southeast Asia. (blogspot.com)
Affect1
Some Roman writers adhered to an environmental determinism in which climate could affect the appearance and character of groups (Isaac 2004). (daynal.org)
Dravidian2
These range from Balochis with origins in Aleppo (modern Syria) to Brahuis who are indigenous Dravidian, and Baltis of Sino-Tibetan ancestry to Pashtuns of Jewish or Central Asian origins. (riazhaq.com)
Figure D distinguishes between Dravidian and non-Dravidian South Asians. (blogspot.com)
Genetic5
For a global reference database the "major language group" criterion seems most appropriate to group data by taking the ancestry into account and produce subdatabases with respect to genetic similarity. (wikipedia.org)
They conducted what they call the "most comprehensive sampling of Indian genetic variation to date," using samples collected from 571 individuals belonging to 73 "well-defined ethno-linguistic groups. (riazhaq.com)
The data allowed the authors to trace not just the genetic mixture between these groups but how long ago this mixture occurred. (riazhaq.com)
China harbours a great genetic diversity, with 55 officially recognized minority ethnic groups in addition to the Han Chinese majority and a considerable number of unrecognized ethnic groups. (saiita.com.cn)
Compared to the Taiwan plain tribe minority groups the Taiwanese Austronesian speaking groups show little genetic paternal contribution from Han. (biomedcentral.com)
Linguistic4
Currently the YHRD database recognizes four separate "metapopulation" structures: national, continental, linguistic/ethnic and phylogenetic affiliation with several categories within. (wikipedia.org)
The Metapopulation structure built on basis of "ethnicity/linguistic affiliation" takes to a larger extent the ancestry of sampled individuals into account. (wikipedia.org)
Ancestry" is a term collating historical, cultural, geographical and linguistic categories. (wikipedia.org)
Linguistic and archaeological evidence supports the biblical picture of Abraham's ancestors coming from the Upper Nile region that was part of Kush and spreading their culture and religious beliefs by the great water systems across what I've termed the ancient "Afro-Asiatic Dominion. (blogspot.com)
Genomic diversity1
In particular, only three Southern Han Chinese (CHS) samples were included in the HPRC reference, too few to represent the genomic diversity of ethnic groups in a region such as China, which is populated by 1.44 billion people. (saiita.com.cn)
Officially recognized1
The Taiwan mountain tribes Aborigines (TwMtA) include 12 of the 14 officially recognized ethnic groups of the island and represent about 2% of its total population. (biomedcentral.com)
Peoples2
The Kushites are the Nilo-Saharan peoples who contributed their binary worldview to the ancient Afro-Asiatic world . (blogspot.com)
There is historical evidence that the word Meluha was a geographical designation for peoples who lived in the area of Nubia, Arabia and Northern Africa. (blogspot.com)
Ethnic groups4
With segregation strictly in place, the Indian society moved toward endogamy-the practice of avoiding intermarriage or close relationships between ethnic groups-which reached its most extreme form in the creation of the caste system which remains in force to this day. (riazhaq.com)
Here we present data from the first phase of the Chinese Pangenome Consortium, including a collection of 116 high-quality and haplotype-phased de novo assemblies based on 58 core samples representing 36 minority Chinese ethnic groups. (saiita.com.cn)
The Chinese Pangenome Consortium data demonstrate a remarkable increase in the discovery of novel and missing sequences when individuals are included from underrepresented minority ethnic groups. (saiita.com.cn)
Here we present the draft Chinese pangenome reference based on the first sequencing effort (Phase I) of the CPC, reporting 116 high-quality de novo assemblies from 58 core samples representing 36 minority Chinese ethnic groups and 6 assemblies of the Han Chinese majority. (saiita.com.cn)
Indigenous1
We examined DNA samples from 1658 individuals from Vietnam, Thailand, Fujian, Taiwan (Han, plain tribes and 14 indigenous groups), the Philippines and Indonesia. (biomedcentral.com)
Minority1
Finally, a minority group generally described as the Taiwan plain tribe Aborigines (TwPlt) or Pingpu, who are believed to be heavily sinicized and mixed with the Taiwanese Han [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Tribes1
The earliest Kyrgyz people were the descendants of several central Asian tribes, first emerging in western Mongolia around 201 BC. (wikipedia.org)
Descendants1
Taiwan Han (TwHan), presently the most numerous group, are descendants mainly of immigrants who came to Taiwan ~400 years ago and include Minnan and Hakka, as well as Han Chinese who immigrated more recently from all over China. (biomedcentral.com)
Include1
Subjects include personal activities, education, South Asia, South Asian community, regional and international affairs and US politics to financial markets. (riazhaq.com)
Recent1
We also present a novel method for identifying long-range tracts of homozygosity indicative of recent common ancestry. (blogspot.com)
South Asian2
From the figure, it appears that a little bit of "South Asian" appears in Europe, which may represent either a Gypsy element, or the more general "light blue" element which appeared in Li et al . (blogspot.com)
These are the clusters, positioned against a South Asian sample. (blogspot.com)
Europe1
But in general I would argue that aprts of eastern Europe is the most diverse area if one considers the very alien gipsy and Asian element. (blogspot.com)
