Cultural norms of exogamy and mobility shape hunter-gatherer genetic evolution

2026-03-11

Abstract excerpt

Through a hunting and gathering lifestyle, humans have managed to thrive across all terrestrial ecosystems. A key adaptive feature enabling this ecological success is the ability of hunter-gatherer societies to maintain high levels of genetic diversity despite ecological and demographic shocks, but the mechanisms underlying this resilience are poorly understood. Here we integrate genomic, demographic, mobility and...
