Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. B. S. Haldane, R. A. Fisher and Sewall Wright simultaneously, and largely independently, laid the foundations of population genetics and the mathematical theory of evolution. Hal dane was born on November 5, 1892. Although he primarily worked at the University College London (UCL), in 1957 he resigned from the UCL and joined the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta (India) as a Research Professor. In celebration of his birth centenary, the Indian Statistical Institute organized an International Conference on Human Genetics from 15 to 19 December, 1992. The prime motive in holding this Conference was to bring together a group of scientists - geneticists, anthropologists, clinicians and statisticians - to evaluate the impact of Haldane's contributions to various areas of human genetics, and also to review recent developments in the subject. Session and lecture themes were so chosen that they covered areas theoretical and applied, classical and emerging. Speakers were then identified and invited to deliver lectures on these themes. Manuscripts of all invited presentations and a selected number of contributed presentations were considered for inclusion in this Proceed ings Volume. Each manuscript was reviewed by at least one Conference participant, which resulted in revision of several manuscripts and rejection of some. This volume is a collection of the manuscripts which have been 'accepted' after the review-process. The Conference began with the "J. B. S. Haldane Centenary Lecture" delivered by C. R. Rao.
Download or read book Genomic Diversity in People of India written by Anthropological Survey Of India and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-02 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the output of Anthropological Survey of India's National Project "DNA Polymorphism of Contemporary Indian Population" conducted during 2000 to 2018. The book compiles the independent and collaborative work of 49 scientific personnel. Genomics facilitate the study of genetic constitution and diversity at individual and population levels. Genomic diversity explains susceptibility, predisposition and prolongation of diseases; personalized medicine and longevity; prehistoric demographic events, such as population bottleneck, expansion, admixture and natural selection. This book highlights the heterogeneous, genetically diverse population of India. It shows how the central geographic location of India, played a crucial role in historic and pre-historic human migrations, and in peopling different continents of the world. The book describes the massive task undertaken by AnSI to unearth genomic diversity of India populations, with the use of Uni-parental DNA markers mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) and Y –chromosome in 75 communities. The book talks about the 61 maternal and 35 paternal lineages identified through these studies. It brings forth interesting, hitherto unknown findings such as shared mutations between certain communities. This volume is a milestone in scientific research to understand biological diversity of Indian people at genomic level. It addresses the basic priority to identify different genes underlying various inborn genetic defects and diseases specific to Indian populations. This would be highly interesting to population geneticists, historians, as well as anthropologists.

Download or read book The History and Geography of Human Genes written by L L Cavalli-sforza and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as a breakthrough in the understanding of human evolution, The History and Geography of Human Genes offers the first full-scale reconstruction of where human populations originated and the paths by which they spread throughout the world. By mapping the worldwide geographic distribution of genes for over 110 traits in over 1800 primarily aboriginal populations, the authors charted migrations and devised a clock by which to date evolutionary history. This monumental work is now available in a more affordable paperback edition without the myriad illustrations and maps, but containing the full text and partial appendices of the authors' pathbreaking endeavor.

Download or read book Where India Goes written by Diane Coffey and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half the people who defecate in the open live in India. Around the world, people live healthier lives than in centuries past, in part because latrines keep faecal germs away from growing babies. India is an exception. Most Indians do not use toilets or latrines, and so infants in India are more likely to die than in neighbouring poorer countries. Children in India are more likely to be stunted than children in sub-Saharan Africa.Where India Goes demonstrates that open defecation in India is not the result of poverty but a direct consequence of the caste system, untouchability and ritual purity. Coffey and Spears tell an unsanitized story of an unsanitary subject, with characters spanning the worlds of mothers and babies living in villages to local government implementers, senior government policymakers and international development professionals. They write of increased funding and ever more unused latrines.Where India Goes is an important and timely book that calls for the annihilation of caste and attendant prejudices, and a fundamental shift in policy perspectives to effect a crucial, much overdue change.
Download or read book Genomic Diversity written by Surinder Singh Papiha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major themes of human population genetics is assaying genetic variation in human populations. The ultimate goal of this objective is to understand the extent of genetic diversity and the use of this knowledge to reconstruct our evolutionary history. The discipline had undergone a revolutionary transition with the advent of molecular techniques in the 1980s. With this shift, statistical methods have also been developed to perceive the biological and molecular basis of human genetic variation. Using the new perspectives gained during the above transition, this volume describes the applications of molecular markers spanning the autosomal, Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial genome in the analysis of human diversity in contemporary populations. This is the first reference book of its kind to bring together data from these diverse sets of markers for understanding evolutionary histories and relationships of modern humans in a single volume.

Download or read book The Punjabi People written by Gurprit Singh and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Punjabis are talked about, the geographical area under consideration is the present Indian Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and the West Punjab of Pakistan. The first batch of people to arrive in the sub-continent and in the Punjab region were OoA or Out of Africa people and this migration took place in around 50000-65000 BCE. Over the years, people came from the present-day areas of Iran in around 8000 BCE. Combining with the Out of Africa people, they made the genetic pool of the Indus Valley people. Next, People came from the steppes in 2000 BCE. These have been so far called the Aryans or of lighter color. The people got mixed for centuries or some thousands of years to produce the people of the so-called North Indian Ancestry (ANI). For several centuries Punjab was known as Taki or Tak Desa. During Vedic times, the then Punjab was inhabited by the following five tribes or Panchjanas:1)Anush 2) Purus 3) Bharats 4) Yadus and 5) Turvasus. Since the Indus Valley Civilization came to an end and the mixing with the steppes' people was over, there was a lull so far as mixing of the so-called extraneous elements into the Punjabi blood is concerned.Over the years Harappans, Indo-Aryans, Greeks, Persians, Scythians, Arabs, Turks, Mughals, Balochs have inhabited Punjab and has been influenced by various religions like the Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Sikhism and Christianity.These waves of migrations notwithstanding, Punjab has acted as a giant melting pot, assimilating people of various ethnicities and geographical areas who have been held together by some sort of a Punjabiness even though the name Punjab was yet to be coined for the geographical area we are talking about. Till the attack by Alexander in 326 BCE, not many attackers besides Darius came to India and the number of such people who possibly mixed with Indians and Punjabis of that period was far less. From 326 BCE till the end of Harsha, we find mixing in Punjab of various external races like Parthians, Scythians, Huns, Indo-Greeks etc. But the number of people mixing with Indians and those living in Punjab was pretty less. Much later, Mohammed Bin Qasim and the Syrians arrived in India in the 8th century CE, followed by Mahmud Ghaznavi and other Muslims like Iranians, Turanis, Turks, Afghans and Mughals. Even though some claims are made of the external genetic pool of the Punjabis, in general, it is accepted that the Punjabis are mostly from the local stock, at least for the last 2000 years, if not less.The Punjabi genetic pool comprises the locals and also of the attackers from various passes having different ethnicities, skin colours and religious practices whose goal was capturing the fertile plains and the seat of power which vacillated between Kabul, Punjab and Delhi.Since time immemorial, Punjabis have this Caste system often called a Biradari system has made the Punjabis inter-marry in their own religion and castes. Then there have been the hill tribes of Punjab like the Pashtuns. Various occupations/Castes in East and West Punjab have been discussed.A very detailed data analysis based on Religion, Classes and Castes has been attempted. The demographics of East Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and Chandigarh based on the Indian Census of 2011 and the demographics of Pakistani/West Punjab as recorded in 2017 have been studied in detail and finally projected Demographics of Pre-Partition Punjab or the erstwhile Punjab province are arrived at as these would be in 2021.demographics of Pakistani/West Punjab as recorded in 2017 have been studied in detail and finally projected Demographics of Pre-Partition Punjab or the erstwhile Punjab province are arrived at as these would be in 2021.
