The common ancestral population radiated rapidly from just one of the two early branches that contributed to Native Americans today. We document two previously unappreciated streams of gene flow between North and South America. One affected the Central Andes by ∼4,200 years ago, while the other explains an affinity between the oldest North American genome associated with the Clovis culture and the oldest Central and South Americans from Chile, Brazil, and Belize. However, this was not the primary source for later South Americans, as the other ancient individuals derive from lineages without specific affinity to the Clovis-associated genome, suggesting a population replacement that began at least 9,000 years ago and was followed by substantial population continuity in multiple regions.","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2018,"language":"en","subjects":["Biology","Medicine"],"doi":"10.1016/j.cell.2018.10.027","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/ab0cdafe0de5ddc59a8b039dbb8be37200bfedb0","pdf_url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2018.10.027","is_open_access":true,"citations":287,"published_at":"","score":70.61},{"id":"arxiv_2503.04313","title":"Episodes from the history of infinitesimals","authors":[{"name":"Mikhail G.

It is natural to extend this technique to video diffusion, which generates video conditioned on a variable number of context frames, collectively referred to as history. However, we find two key challenges to guiding with variable-length history: architectures that only support fixed-size conditioning, and the empirical observation that CFG-style history dropout performs poorly. To address this, we propose the Diffusion Forcing Transformer (DFoT), a video diffusion architecture and theoretically grounded training objective that jointly enable conditioning on a flexible number of history frames. We then introduce History Guidance, a family of guidance methods uniquely enabled by DFoT. We show that its simplest form, vanilla history guidance, already significantly improves video generation quality and temporal consistency. A more advanced method, history guidance across time and frequency further enhances motion dynamics, enables compositional generalization to out-of-distribution history, and can stably roll out extremely long videos.

Previously, tomato domestication history has been thought to involve two major transitions: one from wild Solanum pimpinellifolium L. to a semidomesticated intermediate, S. lycopersicum L. var. cerasiforme (SLC) in South America, and a second transition from SLC to fully domesticated S. lycopersicum L. var. lycopersicum in Mesoamerica. In this study, we employ population genomic methods to reconstruct tomato domestication history, focusing on the evolutionary changes occurring in the intermediate stages. Our results suggest that the origin of SLC may predate domestication, and that many traits considered typical of cultivated tomatoes arose in South American SLC, but were lost or diminished once these partially domesticated forms spread northward. These traits were then likely reselected in a convergent fashion in the common cultivated tomato, prior to its expansion around the world. Based on these findings, we reveal complexities in the intermediate stage of tomato domestication and provide insight on trajectories of genes and phenotypes involved in tomato domestication syndrome. Our results also allow us to identify underexplored germplasm that harbors useful alleles for crop improvement.","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2020,"language":"en","subjects":["Medicine","Biology"],"doi":"10.1093/molbev/msz297","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/250f4e8d717eb2022d3bb68b5aee8ab94254060d","pdf_url":"https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article-pdf/37/4/1118/32960114/msz297.pdf","is_open_access":true,"citations":165,"published_at":"","score":68.95},{"id":"arxiv_2403.06690","title":"From S-matrix theory to strings: Scattering data and the commitment to non-arbitrariness","authors":[{"name":"Robert van Leeuwen"}],"abstract":"The early history of string theory is marked by a shift from strong interaction physics to quantum gravity. The first string models and associated theoretical framework were formulated in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the context of the S-matrix program for the strong interactions. In the mid-1970s, the models were reinterpreted as a potential theory unifying the four fundamental forces. This paper provides a historical analysis of how string theory was developed out of S-matrix physics, aiming to clarify how modern string theory, as a theory detached from experimental data, grew out of an S-matrix program that was strongly dependent upon observable quantities. Surprisingly, the theoretical practice of physicists already turned away from experiment before string theory was recast as a potential unified quantum gravity theory. With the formulation of dual resonance models (the \"hadronic string theory\"), physicists were able to determine almost all of the models' parameters on the basis of theoretical reasoning. It was this commitment to \"non-arbitrariness\", i.e., a lack of free parameters in the theory, that initially drove string theorists away from experimental input, and not the practical inaccessibility of experimental data in the context of quantum gravity physics. This is an important observation when assessing the role of experimental data in string theory.","source":"arXiv","year":2024,"language":"en","subjects":["physics.hist-ph","gr-qc","hep-ph","hep-th"],"doi":"10.1016/j.shpsa.2023.12.011","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.06690","pdf_url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.06690","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"2024-03-11T13:05:08Z","score":68},{"id":"doaj_10.3989/revindias.2024.1784","title":"Recio Mir, Álvaro, Fátima Halcón y Francisco Javier Herrera García. 2023.
