Updated three-stage model for the peopling of the AmericasConnie J Mulligan
Department of Anthropology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA
PLoS ONE 3:e3199. 2008..Removal of these sequences results in the elimination of an early (i.e. approximately 40,000 years ago) expansion signal we had proposed for the proto-Amerind population...
Allelic variation at alcohol metabolism genes ( ADH1B, ADH1C, ALDH2) and alcohol dependence in an American Indian populationConnie J Mulligan

A three-stage colonization model for the peopling of the AmericasAndrew Kitchen
Department of Anthropology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA
PLoS ONE 3:e1596. 2008..Specifically, we analyze mitochondrial and nuclear genetic data by using complementary coalescent models of demographic history and incorporating non-genetic data to enhance the anthropological relevance of the analysis...
Genetic ancestry, social classification, and racial inequalities in blood pressure in Southeastern Puerto RicoClarence C Gravlee
Department of Anthropology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America
PLoS ONE 4:e6821. 2009..Much debate centers on the relative importance of genetic versus sociocultural factors in explaining racial inequalities in health. However, few studies integrate genetic and sociocultural data to test competing explanations directly...

Y-chromosome variability in four Native American populations from PanamaMarina S Ascunce
Department of Anthropology, University of Florida, 1376 Mowry Road, Gainesville, FL 32610, USA
Hum Biol 80:287-302. 2008..The four tribes showed a high degree of differentiation both at the Y chromosome and in the mitochondrial genome, highlighting the importance of genetic structure even in geographically proximate and linguistically related populations...
