Different historical generation intervals in human populations inferred from Neanderthal fragment lengths and mutation signatures.

Nature communications - 7 Sept 2021

Coll Macià Moisès, Skov Laurits, Peter Benjamin Marco, Schierup Mikkel Heide

Abstract excerpt

After the main Out-of-Africa event, humans interbred with Neanderthals leaving 1-2% of Neanderthal DNA scattered in small fragments in all non-African genomes today. Here we investigate what can be learned about human demographic processes from the size distribution of these fragments. We observe differences in fragment length across Eurasia with 12% longer fragments in East Asians than West Eurasians....
