• Single-nucleotide polymorphismNarrower topic: SNP frequencies track population history, migration, and genetic drift.

• Peopling of the AmericasNarrower topic: It helps reconstruct ancestral relationships, bottlenecks, and later population movements.

• Population dynamicsCompared with: It tracks allele frequencies, whereas population dynamics centers on abundance and structure.

• Genetic variationNarrower topic: This field quantifies how variation is distributed and changes over time.

• DarwinismNarrower topic: It supplies a mathematical account of evolutionary change that Darwin lacked.

• Hardy–Weinberg principleNarrower topic: The principle is a foundational model for tracking population-level genetic change.

• GeneticsBroader topic: It quantifies how mutation, migration, selection, and drift change variation.

• Molecular evolutionNarrower topic: Its models connect sequence variation within populations to evolutionary change.
