  • Genomic insight into the origins and dispersal of the Brazilian coastal natives
    Castro e Silva, Marcos Araújo; Nunes, Kelly; Barbosa Lemes, Renan; Mas Sandoval, Àlex, 1989-; Guerra Amorim, Carlos Eduardo; Krieger, José Eduardo; Mill, José Geraldo; Salzano, Francisco Mauro; Bortolini, Maria Cátira; Pereira, Alexandre da Costa; Comas, David, 1969-; Hünemeier, Tábita (National Academy of Sciences, 2020)
    In the 15th century, ∼900,000 Native Americans, mostly Tupí speakers, lived on the Brazilian coast. By the end of the 18th century, the coastal native populations were declared extinct. The Tupí arrived on the east coast ...
  • Indigenous people from Amazon show genetic signatures of pathogen-driven selection
