G_2_07 — Power Laws, Scale-Free Networks, and Ancient Systems

A power law is a mathematical relationship of the form $P(x) \propto x^{-\alpha}$ in which the frequency of an event is inversely proportional to some power of its size — meaning that small events are extremely common, l

L_1_01 — Ancient DNA & Population Genetics

Modern paleogenomics has shown that human evolution was shaped by interbreeding, population structure, and repeated demographic turnover rather than a simple single-line progression. Ancient DNA revealed previously unkno
