During the late Pleistocene, isolated lineages of hominins exchanged genes thus
influencing genomic variation in humans in both the past and present. However, the …

Hybridization between two closely related species is a natural evolutionary process that
results in an admixture of previously isolated gene pools. The exchange of genes between …

Abstract Members of the Cercocebus‐Mandrillus clade are united by several morphological
features, including expanded premolars which are argued to be associated with a …
