Complex History of Admixture between Modern Humans and Neandertals [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2015 Recent analyses have found that a substantial amount of the Neandertal genome persists in the genomes of contemporary non-African individuals. East Asians have, on average, higher levels of Neandertal ancestry than do Europeans, which might be due to differences in the efficiency of purifying selection, an additional pulse of introgression into East ...

Inferring Admixture Histories of Human Populations Using Linkage Disequilibrium [PDF]
Genetics, 2013 Abstract Long-range migrations and the resulting admixtures between populations have been important forces shaping human genetic diversity. Most existing methods for detecting and reconstructing historical admixture events are based on allele frequency divergences or patterns of ancestry segments in chromosomes of admixed individuals. An

Eurasian back-migration into Northeast Africa was a complex and multifaceted process.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Recent studies have identified Northeast Africa as an important area for human movements during the Holocene. Eurasian populations have moved back into Northeastern Africa and contributed to the genetic composition of its people. By gathering the largest

Ancient west Eurasian ancestry in southern and eastern Africa [PDF]
, 2013 The history of southern Africa involved interactions between indigenous hunter-gatherers and a range of populations that moved into the region. Here we use genome-wide genetic data to show that there are at least two admixture events in the history of ...

Admixture Correction in the Outgroup-f3 Statistic [PDF]
, 2018 Genetic inheritance can be studied within a purely genetic scope. However, this eliminates part of the picture. The field of genetics is often thought of as a natural science with little in common with fields of social science. However, in human genetics

Annals of Human Biology, 2021 Background Hmong-Mien speaking Miao, also called Hmong, is the sixth largest ethnic group in mainland China. However, the fine-scale genetic profiles and population history of Miao populations in southwest China, especially in Guizhou province, remain ...

The Missing Link of Jewish European Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypotheses [PDF]
, 2012 The question of Jewish ancestry has been the subject of controversy for over two centuries and has yet to be resolved. The "Rhineland Hypothesis" proposes that Eastern European Jews emerged from a small group of German Jews who migrated eastward and ...

A General Mechanistic Model for Admixture Histories of Hybrid Populations [PDF]
Genetics, 2011 AbstractAdmixed populations have been used for inferring migrations, detecting natural selection, and finding disease genes. These applications often use a simple statistical model of admixture rather than a modeling perspective that incorporates a more realistic history of the admixture process.

Northeast African genomic variation shaped by the continuity of indigenous groups and Eurasian migrations. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Northeast Africa has a long history of human habitation, with fossil-finds from the earliest anatomically modern humans, and housing ancient civilizations.
