“…The proportion of samples that had a 2 statistic larger than the observed one was taken as an estimate of the real P value (Motro et al, 2001). The estimated P (0.187) and the observed 2 value of 11.64 (df ¼ 9) suggest that species distributions in the two samples do not differ from one another.…”

The Late Mousterian Neanderthal site of Amud Cave (dated ca. 70-55 kyr) is situated on the margins of the Dead Sea Rift, about 5 km northwest of the Sea of Galilee. Recent excavations at the site yielded rich lithic, faunal and human skeletal assemblages. This paper presents some characteristics of the faunal assemblages from Amud Cave, combined with pertinent results of taphonomic and micromorphological studies, and places them in the context of other Late Mousterian archaeofaunas in the southern Levant.

Nigeria is the most populous African nation, comprising over 250 ethnic groups. The Yoruba and Fulani are the second and fourth largest ethnic groups in Nigeria, respectively. Forensic genotyping of short tandem repeats (STRs) is used in computation of Combined DNA Index System databases of individuals and ethnic groups. We examined allele diversity, haplotype frequency, haplotype diversity, and forensic genotyping data of autosomal STRs in Fulani and Yoruba residents in Ilorin, Kwara State, North Central Nigeria, in-order to further provide forensic genotyping data of these ethnic groups. Samples of 25 Fulani males and 23 Yoruba males whose ethnicity was confirmed by three generations (paternal and maternal) were collected with informed consent using purposive sampling. All individuals in the samples were unrelated. The samples were amplified and then genotyped using the SureID® 21G PCR Amplification Kit containing Amelogenin and 20 autosomal STR loci. Statistical analyses of forensic genotyping parameters confirmed no deviation from expectation of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium and no dependence of alleles between loci. All tested loci were polymorphic. Expected Heterozygosity and gene diversity parameters showed lower genetic diversity amongst Fulanis compared to Yorubas. This is possibly due to the prevalent custom of marriage between cousins amongst Fulanis, which is forbidden in Yoruba customs.

Allele distributions of 10 short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphic DNA loci used in forensic and paternity testing were determined for a cohort comprising 163 individuals representing a mixed Jewish Caucasian population. Typing was carried out by the commercial AmpF lSTR SGM Plus kit. The polymorphism and the utility of three of these markers for forensic studies in Israel were established for the first time. Results were compared with data for U.S. Caucasians and African Americans. The probability of identity of two persons of different ethnic origins for identification purposes is discussed. A lemma is presented to show that the chance of erroneous identification of an innocent person who belongs to a population that had not committed a crime will, in most cases, be smaller than for those who belong to a population that had truly committed the crime.
