The Genetic Legacy of Introgression from Two Deeply Divergent Lineages in the Genus <i>Homo</i>

2026-03-23

Abstract excerpt

Ancient DNA has shown that a distantly-related “superarchaic” population interbred first with the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans and later with Denisovans themselves. Other work has shown that a superarchaic population interbred with the African ancestors of all modern humans. But it is not yet clear whether these events involved the same superarchaic population. Here, we use the distribution of derived...
