Group membership, geography and shared ancestry: Genetic variation in the Basotho of Lesotho.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 May 2016

Montinaro Francesco, Davies Joseph, Capelli Cristian

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The investigation of the evolution of cultural and genetic traits and how they interact represents a vibrant area of research in evolutionary genetics, whose dynamics are particularly relevant for our species. One of the key assumptions of the "gene-culture coevolution" framework is the coinheritance of cultural and genetic traits. A corollary of the model is that culturally defined groups with a...
