Past human expansions shaped the spatial pattern of Neanderthal ancestry

2022-12-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The worldwide expansion of modern humans ( Homo sapiens ) from Africa started before the extinction of Neanderthals ( Homo neanderthalensis ). Both species coexisted and interbred, as revealed by the sequencing of Neanderthal genomes, leading to ~2% Neanderthal DNA in modern Eurasians 1,2 , with slightly higher introgression in East Asians than in Europeans 3–6 . These distinct levels of ance...
