The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations

Swapan Mallick, +104 more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that indigenous Australians, New Guineans and Andamanese do not derive substantial ancestry from an early dispersal of modern humans; instead, their modern human ancestry is consistent with coming from the same source as that of other non-Africans.

The genetic history of Ice Age Europe

Qiaomei Fu, +76 more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse genome-wide data from 51 Eurasians from ~45,000-7,000 years ago and find that the proportion of Neanderthal DNA decreased from 3-6% to around 2%, consistent with natural selection against Neanderthal variants in modern humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

An early modern human from Romania with a recent Neanderthal ancestor

TL;DR: DNA from a 37,000–42,000-year-old modern human from Peştera cu Oase, Romania is analysed, finding that on the order of 6–9% of the genome of the Oase individual is derived from Neanderthals, more than any other modern human sequenced to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origins and Genetic Legacy of Neolithic Farmers and Hunter-Gatherers in Europe

TL;DR: The results suggest that migration from southern Europe catalyzed the spread of agriculture and that admixture in the wake of this expansion eventually shaped the genomic landscape of modern-day Europe.
