Complimentary Phylogenetic Signals for Morphological Characters and Quantitative 3D Shape Data within genus Homo

Peter J. Waddell

Estimating the phylogeny of the genus Homo is entering a new phase of vastly improved data and methodology. There is increasing evidence of 6 to 10 competing species/lineages at an…

Expanded Distance-based Phylogenetic Analyses of Fossil Homo Skull Shape Evolution

Peter J. Waddell

Analyses of a set of 47 fossil and 4 modern skulls using phylogenetic geometric morphometric methods corroborate and refine earlier results. These include evidence that the African…

Extended Distance-based Phylogenetic Analyses Applied to 3D Homo Fossil Skull Evolution

Peter J. Waddell

This article shows how 3D geometric morphometric data can be analyzed using newly developed distance-based evolutionary tree inference methods, with extensions to planar graphs. Ap…

Happy New Year Homo erectus? More evidence for interbreeding with archaics predating the modern human/Neanderthal split

Peter J. Waddell

A range of a priori hypotheses about the evolution of modern and archaic genomes are further evaluated and tested. In addition to the well-known splits/introgressions involving Nea…

New g%AIC, g%AICc, g%BIC, and Power Divergence Fit Statistics Expose Mating between Modern Humans, Neanderthals and other Archaics

Peter J. Waddell, Xi Tan

The purpose of this article is to look at how information criteria, such as AIC and BIC, relate to the g%SD fit criterion derived in Waddell et al. (2007, 2010a). The g%SD criterio…

Homo denisova, Correspondence Spectral Analysis, Finite Sites Reticulate Hierarchical Coalescent Models and the Ron Jeremy Hypothesis

Peter J. Waddell, Jorge Ramos, Xi Tan

This article shows how to fit reticulate finite and infinite sites sequence spectra to aligned data from five modern human genomes (San, Yoruba, French, Han and Papuan) plus two ar…
