Spectrum of Neandertal introgression across modern-day humans indicates multiple episodes of human-Neandertal interbreeding

2018-06-11

Abstract excerpt

1 Neandertals and anatomically modern humans overlapped geographically for a period of over 30,000 years following human migration out of Africa. During this period, Neandertals and humans interbred, as evidenced by Neandertal portions of the genome carried by non-African individuals today. A key observation is that the proportion of Neandertal ancestry is ∼12-20% higher in East Asian individuals relative to Europ...
