[HTML][HTML] Did our species evolve in subdivided populations across Africa, and why does it matter?
We challenge the view that our species, Homo sapiens, evolved within a single population
and/or region of Africa. The chronology and physical diversity of Pleistocene human fossils …

The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years
We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the
largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect …

The genetic history of the Southern Arc: A bridge between West Asia and Europe
By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in
Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic …

On the limits of fitting complex models of population history to f-statistics
Our understanding of population history in deep time has been assisted by fitting admixture
graphs ('AGs') to data: models that specify the ordering of population splits and mixtures …

Ancient West African foragers in the context of African population history
Our knowledge of ancient human population structure in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly
prior to the advent of food production, remains limited. Here we report genome-wide DNA …

Limits of long-term selection against Neandertal introgression
Several studies have suggested that introgressed Neandertal DNA was subjected to
negative selection in modern humans. A striking observation in support of this is an apparent …
