Admixture and Ancestry Inference from Ancient and Modern Samples through Measures of Population Genetic Drift.

Abstract excerpt

Methods that leverage the information about population history contained within the increasingly abundant genetic sequences of extant and extinct hominid populations are diverse in form and versatile in application. Here, we review key methods recently developed to detect and quantify admixture and ancestry in modern human populations. We begin with an overview of the f- and D-statistics, covering their...
