  2. Chromosomal inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_inversion

    An inversion is a chromosome rearrangement in which a segment of a chromosome becomes inverted within its original position. An inversion occurs when a chromosome undergoes a two breaks within the chromosomal arm, and the segment between the two breaks inserts itself in the opposite direction in the same chromosome arm.

  3. Structural variation in the human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_variation_in...

    Structural variation is an important type of human genetic variation that contributes to phenotypic diversity. [2] There are microscopic and submicroscopic structural variants which include deletions, duplications, and large copy number variants as well as insertions, inversions, and translocations. [1]

  4. Reverse brain drain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_brain_drain

    Reverse brain drain is a form of brain drain where human capital moves in reverse from a more developed country to a less developed country that is developing rapidly. These migrants may accumulate savings, also known as remittances, and develop skills overseas that can be used in their home country.

  5. Face inversion effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_inversion_effect

    The increased strength of the face inversion effect over time supports the perceptual learning hypothesis, since more experience with faces results in increased susceptibility to the effect. [20] The more familiar a particular type of face (e.g. human or dog) is, the more susceptible one is to the face inversion effect for that face.

  6. Inversion (evolutionary biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(evolutionary...

    Inversion was first noted in 1822 by the French zoologist Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, when he dissected a crayfish (an arthropod) and compared it with the vertebrate body plan. The idea was heavily criticised, but periodically resurfaced, and is now supported by some molecular embryologists.

  7. Sociocultural evolution - Wikipedia

    He likens the development of laws, the presence or absence of civil liberty, differences in morality, and the whole development of different cultures to the climate of the respective people, [10] concluding that the environment determines whether and how a people farms the land, which determines the way their society is built and their culture ...

    information had little net effect in our sample, while the subtle manipulation of convenience had a large effect on calorie intake. Encouraging Healthy Eating Behaviors Despite the focus of current and past legislation on providing information, there is little evidence that doing so has much impact.

  9. Human evolutionary genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolutionary_genetics

    Human evolutionary genetics studies how one human genome differs from another human genome, the evolutionary past that gave rise to the human genome, and its current effects. Differences between genomes have anthropological , medical , historical and forensic implications and applications.
