Adopt one of the following human populations, and summarize what is known about the population genetics-based history of that group:
-Indian (the subcontinent) peoples
-South Africa peoples
-North American indigenous peoples (in general or specific groups)
-South American indigenous peoples
-Australian aboriginal peoples
-Another choice (perhaps you are more interested in your own ancestors please check and confirm with the instructor before you embark on this choice).
The best essays will be clear, concise and understandable to a junior undergraduate general science student. It will describe the evolutionary and migratory history of the chosen organism/group or human population, and will also include some discussion of forensic (eg. RMP & LR calculations, or CITES concerns), economic and/or medical applications of that knowledge. Your final product should be a minimum of 12 and maximum of 15 pages, 1 spaced, 1 margins, with all necessary footnotes/citations (choose a citation system and stick to it!).
