Possible ancestral structure in human populations.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jul 2006

Plagnol Vincent, Wall Jeffrey D

Abstract excerpt

Determining the evolutionary relationships between fossil hominid groups such as Neanderthals and modern humans has been a question of enduring interest in human evolutionary genetics. Here we present a new method for addressing whether archaic human groups contributed to the modern gene pool (called ancient admixture), using the patterns of variation in contemporary human populations. Our method improves on...
