There are few fossil pelvic remains of hominin species that precede those of human-like Neanderthals and anatomically modern Homo sapiens (Trinkaus 1984, Arsuaga et al. 1999). There are ∼20 total pelvic specimens fo ...

Human evolutionary genetics



Human evolutionary genetics studies how one human genome differs from another human genome, the evolutionary past that gave rise to it, and its current effects. Differences between genomes have anthropological, medical and forensic implications and applications. Genetic data can provide important insight into human evolution.
