DDeden: I believe I can answer that question for you. There are four major rivers in Russia and Ukraine: the Dnestr, the Dnepr, the Don, and the Volga. I...
... You should write exactly what conclusion you are talking about, so that I know what you are talking about. My view is that Homo east of Movius line lived...
... Thanks. I could say that we are talking about very advanced agriculture by that date, since we see that rice was cultivated in unfavorable conditions. So...
Thanks Anne, I removed the post, as I had incorrectly placed Kostenki at the bend of the Don R nearest to the Volga R, where some lakes and now a canal ...
... I recently saw a television program called "The Science of Dogs," and it was reported that variations in tandem repeats in the DNA (a kind of CNV) appear...
... The most striking point about this is that many dog breeds are quite recent, which demonstates that copy number can change over a very short time in ...
DDeden: The Altai(south-central Siberia), /*is */relatively mountainous. And I don't think /*anybody*/ living in that region would have used dugout boats with...
Hi John, That is a good point. Perhaps mammals in general, or some mammals (such as humans and domestic dogs,) are able to produce CNV variation very quickly,...
Anne, Right, my point being that Neandertals reached the Altai by foot very slowly from the west, while Hss reached Moscow quickly from the south because they...
Hi, Dan, I'll answer later in a more specific way, but there is an article in Science Daily about shuffling of genes. Discovered using the 454 technology....
... The amount of CNV that dogs have does not appear to be comparable with the amount that humans have. And, they have been very carefully bred to achieve...
Hi John, I presume this (below) is the article you mentioned. It's notable that, although the data appears to starkly contradict OOA2, the researchers are...
Oops, a quotation was cut off (didn't paste as I intended.) Here's how it should have appeared: "...most of the variants have an ancient origin. Many of the...
(Just to lend this thread a more appropriate subject line.) Subject line was: Re: About CNV: Individual Differences Caused By Shuffled Chunks Of DNA... Dan...
I've said this before, but it bears repeating here: The research described in this article appears to be much less thorough than the Nature CNV paper. The...
... In a sense, yes. Did you read the article on amylase that I referenced? By having a diet of starch, people develop more copies of the amylase gene. They...
DDeden: What makes you think that the "modern" humans who reached the Moscow area had dugout boats? Maybe they did and maybe they didn't. It might have been...
Hi John, ... Yes, I read it. It takes many, many changes to amount to 10% overall genetic difference between healthy individuals. Human CNV encompasses a...
... I presume that the slow current and shallow level would have been good for push-poling up-stream, that this was true during the period that Hss arrived...
I understand that the notion that humans evolved because we ate meat is controversial. I'm also interested in theories behind the domestication of dogs. Can...

Bloglines user AnneGilbert (avgilbert@...) has sent this item to you, with the following personal message: All: Some of you may be interested in this...
... The difference between populations is not in the overall genetic difference - it is in the copy number variants of genes - read the definition in...
DDeden: I"m not sure that transportation by boat was developed at the time that the humans you refer to reached the Moscow area. Maybe it was, in which case,...
Sorry John, but that is incorrect. CNV, despite its name, is much more than just simple variations in copy number, and it is (according to the Nature paper)...

Hi I'm Francine. Could the traits that began to evolve in Neanderthals 400 kya have been related to a change in climate? I'm just curious as I'm doing a paper...
