Different historical generation intervals in human populations inferred from Neanderthal fragment lengths and patterns of mutation accumulation

2021-02-25

Abstract excerpt

After the main out-of-Africa event, humans interbred with Neanderthals leaving 1-2% of Neanderthal DNA scattered in small fragments in all non-African genomes today 1,2 . Here we investigate the size distribution of these fragments in non-African genomes 3 . We find consistent differences in fragment length distributions across Eurasia with 11% longer fragments in East Asians than in West Eurasians. By comparing...
