Tracing the Neanderthal–Modern Human hybrid zone using paleogenomic data

2026-01-06

Abstract excerpt

Interbreeding between closely related lineages is a pervasive evolutionary feature across taxa 1 , including modern humans, who admixed with Neanderthals and other archaic hominins 2,3 . Identifying where gene flow between these lineages happened can shed light on ecological and adaptive contexts in which introgressed genes were acquired. However, mapping ancient hybrid zones is challenging because post-admixtur...
