TL;DR: The genomic data suggest that Neandertals mixed with modern human ancestors some 120,000 years ago, leaving traces of Ne andertal DNA in contemporary humans, suggesting that gene flow from Neand Bertals into the ancestors of non-Africans occurred before the divergence of Eurasian groups from each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A reconstructed ancient genome of Yersinia pestis is reported at 30-fold average coverage from Black Death victims securely dated to episodes of pestilence-associated mortality in London, England, 1348–1350, suggesting that contemporary Y. pestis epidemics have their origins in the medieval era.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Analysis of the assembled sequence unequivocally establishes that the Neandertal mtDNA falls outside the variation of extant human mtDNAs, and allows an estimate of the divergence date between the two mtDNA lineages of 660,000 +/- 140,000 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Derived FOXP2 Variant of Modern Humans Was Shared with Neandertals
Johannes Krause,Carles Lalueza-Fox,Ludovic Orlando,Wolfgang Enard,Richard E. Green,Hernán A. Burbano,Jean-Jacques Hublin,Catherine Hänni,Javier Fortea,Marco de la Rasilla,Jaume Bertranpetit,Antonio Rosas,Svante Pääbo +12 more
TL;DR: The Neandertals, the authors' closest extinct relatives, share with modern humans two evolutionary changes in FOXP2, a gene that has been implicated in the development of speech and language, and these changes lie on the common modern human haplotype, which previously was shown to have been subject to a selective sweep.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA analysis of an early modern human from Tianyuan Cave, China
TL;DR: The nuclear DNA sequences determined from this early modern human reveal that the Tianyuan individual derived from a population that was ancestral to many present-day Asians and Native Americans but postdated the divergence of Asians from Europeans.
