Abstract

Recent advances in the field of genetic data analysis reveal promising findings in the field of human history; especially when combined with proper data analysis tools. Within the field of modern genetics, there is evidence that the human populations have genetically interacted as a result of several events. The genetic admixture contains multiple pieces of DNA that have been passed down subsequently through generations making it combine DNA from different source groups. In this paper, we construct and analyze the network of human genetic admixture. We study the topology of this network, we investigate its \(\delta \)-hyperbolicity (negative curvature), and, using it, identify the core vertices by proposing the \(\delta \)-hyperbolicity-neighborhood measure that we assign to each vertex.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that the value of r could be higher but never exceeds \(6\delta (G)+2\) [2]. However, for real-networks it was observed in [2] that \(r \approx \delta (G)\).
