    Deep history of cultural and linguistic evolution among Central African hunter-gatherers

    Human evolutionary history in Central Africa reflects a deep history of population connectivity. However, Central African hunter-gatherers (CAHGs) currently speak languages acquired from their neighbouring far...

    Mexican Biobank advances population and medical genomics of diverse ancestries

    Latin America continues to be severely underrepresented in genomics research, and fine-scale genetic histories and complex trait architectures remain hidden owing to insufficient data1. To fill this gap, the Mexi...

    Deconvoluting complex correlates of COVID-19 severity with a multi-omic pandemic tracking strategy

    The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has differentially impacted populations across race and ethnicity. A multi-omic approach represents a powerful tool to examine risk across multi-ancestry genomes. We leverage a pandemic...

    Paths and timings of the peopling of Polynesia inferred from genomic networks

    Polynesia was settled in a series of extraordinary voyages across an ocean spanning one third of the Earth1, but the sequences of islands settled remain unknown and their timings disputed. Currently, several cent...

    Native American gene flow into Polynesia predating Easter Island settlement

    The possibility of voyaging contact between prehistoric Polynesian and Native American populations has long intrigued researchers. Proponents have pointed to the existence of New World crops, such as the sweet...
