Have human rights mobilizations helped foment a more equal world or have they been anemic in the face of rampant inequality (Moyn, 2018)? Amidst these multifaceted conversations, there is the perception that human geography as a discipline has been reluctant to fully engage with the notion......
Chance and human geography;Chance events and human geography;Happenstance and human geography;Serendipitous moments and human geography Definition/Description After being introduced in 1945 by the American sociologist Robert K. Merton, the concept of serendipity rapidly diffused (Merton & Barber,2004; see...
Current evidence suggests that cis-regulatory elements controlling gene expression may be the predominant target of natural selection in humans and other species. Detecting selection acting on these elements is critical to understanding evolution but rem
and none with common polymorphism, have been described or characterized since our last review of the molecular genetics of human pigmentation [3]. Those under positive selection must directly alter the expression level of the gene transcript (OCA2,IRF4), be in linkage with functional SNPs that d...

The pervasive endogamy and founder effects in sub-populations have led to a high prevalence of autosomal recessive rare genetic diseases in India, compared to other parts of the world. While there is no appropriate standard definition to describe a rare disease in India, Indian Council of Medical...
As a result, each strain in hGMB can only be traced back to its donor’s geography, rather than exact personal information, rendering hGMB a less appropriate repository for future studies relying strictly on a one-to-one link between isolates and donors. As shown in Table S7, the 102 ...

potential microbes through a mix of partially stochastic processes. These processes may include the order in which microbes colonize their respective human habitat (affected by geography and early exposures, for example), the prolonged availability of each microbe in the host’s local environment, and...
