Evolutionary history of Tibetans inferred from whole-genome sequencing.

TL;DR: A detailed history of demography and natural selection of this population of Tibetans is inferred and evidence of population structure between the ancestral Han and Tibetan subpopulations as early as 44 to 58 thousand years ago, but with high rates of gene flow until approximately 9 thousands years ago.
