Ancient genomes from southern Africa pushes modern human divergence beyond 260,000 years ago

2017-06-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Southern Africa is consistently placed as one of the potential regions for the evolution of Homo sapiens . To examine the region’s human prehistory prior to the arrival of migrants from East and West Africa or Eurasia in the last 1,700 years, we generated and analyzed genome sequence data from seven ancient individuals from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Three Stone Age hunter-gatherers date to ~...
