TL;DR: It is shown that interbreeding, albeit of low magnitude, occurred among many hominin groups in the Late Pleistocene and a definitive list of substitutions that became fixed in modern humans after their separation from the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans is established.

TL;DR: The kiwi genome provides a valuable genomic resource for future genome-wide comparative analyses to other extinct and extant diurnal ratites and there is an enrichment of genes influencing mitochondrial function and energy expenditure among genes that are rapidly evolving specifically on the k Kiwi branch, which may be linked to its nocturnal lifestyle.

TL;DR: It is shown that the genetic makeup of northern Europe was shaped by migrations from Siberia that began at least 3500 years ago, and Siberian ancestry was subsequently admixed into many modern populations in the region, particularly into populations speaking Uralic languages today.
