Tracing the Route of Modern Humans out of Africa by Using 225 Human Genome Sequences from Ethiopians and Egyptians
Luca Pagani,Luca Pagani,Luca Pagani,Stephan Schiffels,Deepti Gurdasani,Petr Danecek,Aylwyn Scally,Yuan Chen,Yali Xue,Marc Haber,Marc Haber,Rosemary Ekong,Tamiru Oljira,Ephrem Mekonnen,Donata Luiselli,Neil Bradman,Endashaw Bekele,Pierre Zalloua,Pierre Zalloua,Richard Durbin,Toomas Kivisild,Chris Tyler-Smith +21 more
TL;DR: Both the haplotype and MSMC analyses suggest a predominant northern route out of Africa via Egypt, pointing to Egypt as the more likely gateway in the exodus to the rest of the world.

TL;DR: It is shown that the great majority of present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: West European Hunter-Gatherers (WHG), who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; Ancient North Eurasians (ANE); and Early European Farmers (EEF), who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harbored WHG-related ancestry.

TL;DR: Overall, in the Caucasus region, unmatched levels of gene-language coevolution occurred within geographically isolated populations, probably due to its mountainous terrain.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: GPS’s accuracy and power to infer the biogeography of worldwide individuals down to their country or, in some cases, village, of origin, underscores the promise of admixture-based methods for bioge geography and has ramifications for genetic ancestry testing.

Identifying genetic traces of historical expansions: Phoenician footprints in the Mediterranean

TL;DR: The Phoenicians were the dominant traders in the Mediterranean Sea two thousand to three thousand years ago and expanded from their homeland in the Levant to establish colonies and trading posts throughout the Mediterranean, but then they disappeared from history, and male genetic traces in modern populations are identified.
