Analyses of Neanderthal introgression suggest that Levantine and southern Arabian populations have a shared population history

2018-10-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Modern humans are thought to have interbred with Neanderthals in the Near East soon after modern humans dispersed out of Africa. This introgression event likely took place in either the Levant or southern Arabian depending on which dispersal route out of Africa was followed. In this study, we compare Neanderthal introgression in contemporary Levantine and southern Arabian populations to invest...
