TL;DR: It is found that all individuals derive at least a few percent of their genomes from admixture with non-Khoisan populations that began ∼1,200 years ago, supporting the hypothesis of an ancient link between southern and eastern Africa.

TL;DR: The data reveal a multilayered history of the indigenous populations of southern Africa, who are likely to be the result of admixture of different genetic substrates, such as resident forager populations and pre-Bantu pastoralists from East Africa.

TL;DR: The study shows that the population history of southern Africa has been complex, with different immigrating groups mixing to different degrees with the autochthonous populations, and a significant increase in the intensity of the sex‐biased gene flow from north to south may reflect changes in the social dynamics between Khoisan and Bantu groups over time.

TL;DR: This paper aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology, as to provide real-time information about an individual’s TSP.
