The distribution of integer partitions in human genome-wide genealogies reflects gene flow from a super-archaic lineage

2026-07-16

Abstract excerpt

Several recent studies have found evidence for ancient gene flow between the ancestors of modern humans and an unsampled super-archaic lineage. Here we present a new, simple approach for characterising this process given genome-wide genealogies sampled from a single population. We summarise genealogies as distributions of integer partitions and show that this captures the temporal signal of tree imbalance left by...
