Abstract Multiple lines of genetic and archaeological evidence suggest that there were major demographic changes in the terminal Late Pleistocene epoch early Holocene sub-Saharan Africa 1–4 . Inferences about this period are challenging to make because shifts past 5,000 years have obscured structures more ancient populations 3,5 Here we present genome-wide DNA data for six individuals from eastern south-central spanning approximately 18,000 (doubling time depth African DNA), increase quality...
East African genetics and pastoralism The origin spread of domestic animals across the globe also affected underlying genetic composition human populations. In Africa, however, it has been difficult to identify impact interactions among migrating food producers local hunter-gatherers. Prendergast et al. wanted discern timing movement husbandry its effects on foraging communities in Africa. They sequenced 41 ancient eastern genomes from individuals that lived approximately 100 4000 years ago....
This study explores traditional adhesives using an ethnobiological approach within a multisocioecological context in Zambia. Through semi-structured interviews, videotaped demonstrations, and herbarium collections, we investigated the people know use, flexibility of production processes, resource usage, knowledge transmission adhesive production. Our findings reveal systems. People use wide range organic inorganic materials their recipes. Recipes are flexible, demonstrating ability to adapt...
Abstract Sub-equatorial Africa is today inhabited predominantly by Bantu-speaking groups of Western African descent who brought agriculture to the Luangwa valley in eastern Zambia ~2000 years ago. Before their arrival area was hunter-gatherers, many cases were subsequently replaced, displaced or assimilated. In Zambia, we know little about genetic affinities these hunter-gatherers. We examine ancestry two isolated communities known as BaTwa and possible descendants recent genotype over...
Ancient and traditional adhesives were derived from various plant animal resources. Recent studies reveal their production processes involve diverse technological behaviors; also show that are one indicator of past complexity. However, the characteristics these systems regarding adaptive capabilities, flexibility, mechanisms for knowledge transfer remain unknown. To address this gap, we examined adhesive using an ethnobiological approach within a multisocioecological context in Zambia. We...
