Climatic variability and the population dynamics of historical hunter-gatherers: the case of Sami of Northern Finland

Article Abstract:

A study examines how climate affected the population dynamics of hunter-gatherers. In three historical Sami populations, it is found that the dynamics of historical Sami seem to be only weakly associated with annual mean temperature, which might indicate that these populations, are rather unaffected by climatic variation.

Geometric morphometric study of population variation in indigenous southern African crania

Article Abstract:

Khoisan-Bantu morphological similarities and differences are investigated to examine variation within both the Bantu-speaking and Khoisan populations. It is suggested that differential admixture with adjacent Khoisan people contributed to diversity within southern African Bantu-speaking populations.
