    BMC Evol Biol 10:237. 2010
    ..Then, we use an original simulation approach in order to infer the most probable evolutionary scenario for the settlement of the area, taking into account the effects of both demography and natural selection at some loci...

    Mathias Currat
    Anthropology, Genetics, and Peopling History Laboratory, Anthropology Unit, Department of Genetics and Evolution, University of Geneva, 1227 Geneva, Switzerland
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:15129-34. 2011
    ..This hypothesis could be tested because it predicts that different components of Neanderthal ancestry should be present in Europeans and in Asians...

    Nicolas Ray
    Genetics and Biometry Lab, Department of Anthropology and Ecology, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
    Mol Biol Evol 20:76-86. 2003
    ..The fact that molecular diversity within deme is so dependent on recent levels of gene flow suggests that it should be possible to estimate Nm values from samples drawn from a single deme...
