Origins of modern human ancestry
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 …

Anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens, AMH) began spreading across Eurasia from
Africa and adjacent Southwest Asia about 50,000–55,000 years ago (ca. 50–55 ka). Some …

Genomic analyses inform on migration events during the peopling of Eurasia
High-coverage whole-genome sequence studies have so far focused on a limited number of
geographically restricted populations,,,, or been targeted at specific diseases, such as …

The earliest unequivocally modern humans in southern China
The hominin record from southern Asia for the early Late Pleistocene epoch is scarce. Well-
dated and well-preserved fossils older than∼ 45,000 years that can be unequivocally …

Pleistocene mitochondrial genomes suggest a single major dispersal of non-Africans and a Late Glacial population turnover in Europe
How modern humans dispersed into Eurasia and Australasia, including the number of
separate expansions and their timings, is highly debated [1, 2]. Two categories of models …

Excavating Neandertal and Denisovan DNA from the genomes of Melanesian individuals
Although Neandertal sequences that persist in the genomes of modern humans have been
identified in Eurasians, comparable studies in people whose ancestors hybridized with both …

A genomic history of Aboriginal Australia
The population history of Aboriginal Australians remains largely uncharacterized. Here we
generate high-coverage genomes for 83 Aboriginal Australians (speakers of Pama …

Rethinking the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa
Current fossil, genetic, and archeological data indicate that Homo sapiens originated in
Africa in the late Middle Pleistocene. By the end of the Late Pleistocene, our species was …

A recent bottleneck of Y chromosome diversity coincides with a global change in culture
It is commonly thought that human genetic diversity in non-African populations was shaped
primarily by an out-of-Africa dispersal 50–100 thousand yr ago (kya). Here, we present a …

Early presence of Homo sapiens in Southeast Asia by 86–68 kyr at Tam Pà Ling, Northern Laos
The timing of the first arrival of Homo sapiens in East Asia from Africa and the degree to
which they interbred with or replaced local archaic populations is controversial. Previous …
