Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Biology - Genetics / Gene Technology, grade: 2.1 (B), Oxford University (New College), language: English, abstract: The aim of population genetics is to model the dynamics of evolutionary change within and between populations i.e. a group of individuals who exist together in time and space and are capable of interbreeding. In human DNA approximately 0.08% of the nucleotide base pairs varies among individuals and thus populations genetics has been trying to establish why this is so. Four basic evolutionary forces responsible for genetic diversity in populations have been identified: mutation, natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow. Mutations are copying errors during DNA replication and transcriptions, which introduce new alleles into the population. Natural selection is the differential transmission of alleles into the next generation due to the consequences of functional differences on an individual’s survival and reproductive success. Genetic drift is the differential transmission of alleles into the next generation as a result of random sampling and has the greatest potential impact in small populations. Gene flow spreads alleles from one population into another via migration, making them more genetically similar to each other, and countering genetic differentiation by drift. I am going to examine the contribution of genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection to the levels of diversity and composition of genetic polymorphisms in different human populations. Further I am going to examine why some populations have greater diversity than others and compare the patterns of genetic diversity of humans and chimpanzees.

A number of scholars have found that concepts such as mutation, selection, and random drift, which emerged from the theory of biological evolution, may also explain evolutionary phenomena in other disciplines as well. Drawing on these concepts, Professors Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman classify and systematize the various modes of transmitting "culture" and explore their consequences for cultural evolution. In the process, they develop a mathematical theory of the non-genetic transmission of cultural traits that provides a framework for future investigations in quantitative social and anthropological science. The authors use quantitative models that incorporate the various modes of transmission (for example, parent-child, peer-peer, and teacher-student), and evaluate data from sociology, archaeology, and epidemiology in terms of the models. They show that the various modes of transmission in conjunction with cultural and natural selection produce various rates of cultural evolution and various degrees of diversity within and between groups. The same framework can be used for explaining phenomena as apparently unrelated as linguistics, epidemics, social values and customs, and diffusion of innovations. The authors conclude that cultural transmission is an essential factor in the study of cultural change.

The fields of conservation genetics and genetic epidemiology share many parallel questions. Hence, methodologies can be adapted from the former to the latter. Three applications of population genetics are presented to further our understanding of Ascaris epidemiology. (1) I address if Ascaris infections in humans and pigs constitute a single population or subdivided host-affiliated populations with potential for cross-transmission and hybridization. (2) I discuss the use of landscape genetics as a means to identify transmission foci and epidemiologically relevant variables correlated to parasite population substructure. (3) I propose the novel integration of the effective population size (Ne) parameter into population monitoring and epidemiological studies of parasites in general. Using microsatellite data from a metapopulation of A. lumbricoides in Nepal, I demonstrate the utility of estimating Ne with single-sample contemporary estimators, offer epidemiologically related questions that can be addressed with Ne, and highlight assumptions of Ne estimation related to Ascaris biology.
