geoGraph models organism movement and connectivity across geographic space using hexagonal grids, improving accuracy over rectangular grids by avoiding distortion.

The paper shows that cultural norms and mobility patterns in hunter-gatherer societies influence genetic diversity and reduce homozygosity, preserving fitness.

The paper models Homo sapiens evolution as a Pan-African metapopulation, showing how climate and connectivity shaped genetic and morphological diversity over 200,000 years.

The paper updates demographic data showing that human lifespans continue to increase globally, supporting Oeppen and Vaupel's original hypothesis over Olshansky's claim of a lifespan ceiling.

This study examines gender differences in spatial mobility among Mbendjele BaYaka hunter-gatherers, finding that men's mobility increases with age due to subsistence activities, while women's remains stable, driven by gathering near home.

The paper examines how population interconnectivity through migration influences the development and limited complexity of chimpanzee cumulative culture.

The paper maps social networks of hunter-gatherers to show that non-kin friendships enhance cultural exchange and are an ancestral adaptation.
