Nuclear pseudogenes of mtDNA (NUMTS) suggest repeated distant inter-species hybridization among direct human ancestors

2017-07-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> : Increasingly, the emergence and evolution of our species is being tied to genetic exchange between divergent lineages within ~1Ma (e.g., Neanderthals, Denisovans). However, little is known about genetic exchange during earlier (pre-1Ma) human evolution and between more divergent lineages. <h4>Results: </h4> : We present evidence of hybridization within human lineage, show that it likely...
