Culture, population structure, and low genetic diversity in Pleistocene hominins.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Jan 2009

Premo L S, Hublin Jean-Jacques

Abstract excerpt

Paleogenomic research has shown that modern humans, Neanderthals, and their most recent common ancestor have displayed less genetic diversity than living great apes. The traditional interpretation that low levels of genetic diversity in modern humans resulted from a relatively recent demographic bottleneck cannot account for similarly low levels of genetic diversity in Middle Pleistocene hominins.
