Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic evidence for a Pleistocene population explosion | Expansions of population size leave characteristic signatures in mitochondrial "mismatch distributions." Consequently, these distributions can inform us about the history of changes in population size. Here, I study a simple model of population history that assumes that, t generations before the pr... | 1995 | |

Rogers, Alan R. | Model of kin-structured migration | When individuals disperse from one local group to another, they often do so in the company of relatives. This is known as "kin-structured migration," and its effect on genetic population structure is investigated here. It is shown that when migration is kin-structured, the ratio of between- to with... | Fission; Mobility; Population | 1987 |

How do we explain the differences between our nearest relatives, the great apes, and ourselves? This chapter summarises some recent attempts to use l... | Human life history; Fertility; Apes; Juvenile period | 1999 |
