New finds in the palaeoanthropological and genomic records have changed our view of the
origins of modern human ancestry. Here we review our current understanding of how the …

During the late Pleistocene, isolated lineages of hominins exchanged genes thus
influencing genomic variation in humans in both the past and present. However, the …

To date, the only Neandertal genome that has been sequenced to high quality is from an
individual found in Southern Siberia. We sequenced the genome of a female Neandertal …

Pathogens and the diseases they cause have been among the most important selective

The consequences of the Neolithic transition in Europe—one of the most important cultural
changes in human prehistory—is a subject of great interest. However, its effect on prehistoric …

It is a challenge to make sense of who we are. Where did we come from? Why are we so
radically different from other animals and so surprisingly similar to others? Why do our …

Admixture has played a prominent role in sha** patterns of human genomic variation,
including gene flow with now-extinct hominins like Neanderthals and Denisovans. Here, we …

The extent to which prehistoric migrations of farmers influenced the genetic pool of western
North Africans remains unclear. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Neolithization …
