100,000 years of gene flow between Neandertals and Denisovans in the Altai mountains

2020-03-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary paragraph</h4> The Siberian Altai mountains have been intermittently occupied by both Neandertals and Denisovans, two extinct hominin groups 1,2 . While they diverged at least 390,000 years ago 3,4 , later contacts lead to gene flow from Neandertals into Denisovans 5,6 . Using a new population genetic method that is capable of inferring signatures of admixture from highly degraded genetic data, I s...
