Advances in the sequencing and the analysis of the genomes of both modern and ancient
peoples have facilitated a number of breakthroughs in our understanding of human …

The deep evolutionary history of African populations, since the emergence of modern
humans more than 300,000 years ago, has resulted in high genetic diversity and …

Western Eurasia witnessed several large-scale human migrations during the Holocene,,,–.
Here, to investigate the cross-continental effects of these migrations, we shotgun-sequenced …

The past few years have witnessed a revolution in our ability to obtain DNA from ancient
humans. This important new data has added to our knowledge from archaeology and …

We conduct high coverage (> 30×) whole-genome sequencing of 180 individuals from 12
indigenous African populations. We identify millions of unreported variants, many predicted …

Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from
300 individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million …

Southern Africa is consistently placed as a potential region for the evolution of Homo
sapiens. We present genome sequences, up to 13x coverage, from seven ancient …

We assembled genome-wide data from 16 prehistoric Africans. We show that the anciently
divergent lineage that comprises the primary ancestry of the southern African San had a …

INTRODUCTION Variation in pigmentation among human populations may reflect local
adaptation to regional light environments, because dark skin is more photoprotective …

Abstract Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a multivariate analysis that reduces the
complexity of datasets while preserving data covariance. The outcome can be visualized on …
