  1. Archaeogenetics

    Archaeogenetics , a term coined by Colin Renfrew , refers to the application of the techniques of molecular population genetics to the study of the human past. This can involve the analysis of DNA recovered from archaeology archaeological remains , i.e. ancient DNA the analysis of DNA from modern populations including humans and domestic plant and animal species in order to study human past and the genetic legacy of human interaction with the biosphere and the application of statistical methods developed by molecular geneticists to archaeological data. The topic has its origins in the study of Blood type human blood groups and the realisation that this classical genetic marker provides information about the relationships between Natural language linguistic and ethnic groupings. Early work in this field included that of Ludwik Hirszfeld Ludwik and Hanka Hirszfeld , William C. Boyd William Boyd and Arthur Mourant . From the 1960s onwards, Luigi Luca Cavalli Sforza Luca Cavalli Sforza used classical genetic markers to examine the Prehistory prehistoric population of Europe , culminating in the publication of The History and Geography of Human Genes in 1994. Since then, the genetic history of all of our major domestic plants e.g., wheat, rice, maize and animals e.g., cattle, goats, pigs, horses has been analysed. Models for the timing and biogeography of their domestication and subsequent husbandry have been put forward, mainly based on mitochondrial DNA variation, though other markers are currently being analysed to supplement the genetic narrative e.g., the Y chromosome for describing ... peoples of the Americas Genetic history of the British Isles Archaeogenetics of the Near East Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia Genetic history of Europe Genetic history of Italy ...

  1. Archaeogenetics of the Near East

    For a non technical introduction to genetics in general Introduction to genetics The archaeogenetics of the Near East involves the study of aDNA or ancient DNA , identifying haplogroups and haplotypes of ancient skeletal remains from both YDNA and mtDNA for populations of the Ancient Near East the modern Middle East , i.e. Egypt , Arabia , the Levant , Mesopotamia , Anatolia and Persia . To date, isolation of mtDNA has been most successful. Developments in DNA sequencing in the 1970s and 1980s provided researchers with the tools needed to study human genetic variation and the population genetics genetics of human populations to discover founder effect founder populations of modern people groups and human migrations. In 2005, National Geographic launched The Genographic Project , led by 12 prominent scientists and researchers, to study and map historical human migration patterns by collecting and analyzing DNA samples from hundreds of thousands of people from around the world. Levant see Phoenicia Phoenicianism Canaanites Samaritans Zalloua and Wells 2004 , under the auspices of a grant from National Geographic Magazine examined the origins of the Phoenicians . The debate between Wells and Zalloua was whether haplogroup Haplogroup J2 Y DNA J2 M172 should be identified as that of the Phoenicians or that of its parent haplogroup M89 on the YDNA phylogenetic tree. ref http ycc.biosci.arizona.edu nomenclature system fig1.html C Documents and Settings agellon My Documents GATC Files YCC Web 2002 genres Fig 1.htm Bot generated title ref Initial consensus suggested that Haplogroup J2 Y DNA J2 be identified with the Canaanite Phoenician Northwest Semitic population, with avenues open for future research. ref National Geographic Magazine, October 2004.

  1. Paleogenetics

    Paleogenetics is the application of genetics to paleontology . It has been applied to the study of parasite evolution . Emile Zuckerkandl and United States American 20th century Physical chemistry physical chemist Linus Pauling Linus Carl Pauling introduced the term paleogenetics in 1963. Further, Biology biologist Svante P bo is seen as its founding father . According to University of Florida University of Florida, Gainesville Biochemistry biochemist Steve Benner, the discipline rapidly expanded in late 2003 and early 2004.

  1. Outline of genetics

    expand outline see also Index of genetics articles Genetics is the study of how living things receive common traits from previous generations. These traits are described by the genetic information carried by a molecule called DNA . The instructions for constructing and operating an organism are contained in the organism s DNA. Every living thing on earth has DNA in its cells. Gene s are the hereditary components of DNA that occupy spots on chromosome s and determine characteristics in an organism . Genes are passed on from parent to child and are an important part of what determines physical appearance and behavior . Gene s also determine what traits a whole family such as the grandfather, great grandfather, etc. , will have, because genes are passed down in chromosomes from generation to generation.

    Andrew Colin Renfrew, Baron Renfrew of Kaimsthorn , Doctor of Philosophy Ph.D. , British Academy FBA , Society of Antiquaries of London FSA , Society of Antiquaries of Scotland Fellowship HonFSAScot b. July 25, 1937 in Stockton on Tees is a prominent United Kingdom British archaeologist and highly regarded academic, noted for his work on radiocarbon dating , the paleolinguistics prehistory of languages , archaeogenetics , and the prevention of Illicit antiquities looting at archaeological sites . He developed the Anatolian hypothesis Renfrew Hypothesis , which argues that Proto Indo Europeans lived 2,000 years before the Kurgan hypothesis Kurgan s, in Anatolia , later diffusing throughout the Mediterranean and into Central and Northern Europe. This hypothesis contradicted the work of archaeologist Marija Gimbutas who, as early as 1958 in an article entitled Culture Change in Europe at the Start of the Second Millennium B.C. A Contribution to the Indo European Problem had postulated that the Indo Europeans had migrated into Europe from the north, leading to the demise of the Goddess worshipping cultures of Old Europe. Along with fellow Archaeologist Paul Bahn , Renfrew has come up with the Renfew and Bahns indicator of Religion and Ritual , a definition to determine whether the actions or conducts of Archaeological civilizations were a religious ritual. Professor Renfrew was formerly the Disney Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge and Director of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research and is now a Senior Fellow of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research. Biography Renfrew was educated at St Albans School Hertfordshire St Albans School , Hertfordshire where one of the houses is named after him and from 1956 to 1958 did National Service in the Royal Air Force . He then went up to St John s College, Cambridge where he read Archaeology and Anthropology , graduating in 1962. In 1965 he completed his PhD thesis Neolithic and Bronze ...   more details
