‘A history of contact’: Princeton geneticists are rewriting the narrative of Neanderthals and other ancient humans - EurekAlert
Using genomes from 2,000 living humans as well as three Neanderthals and one Denisovan, an international team led by Princeton geneticist Joshua Akey mapped the gene flow between the hominin groups over the past quarter-million years. “Our models show that there wasn’t a long period of stasis, but that shortly after modern humans arose, we've been migrating out of Africa and coming back to Africa, too,” he said. “To me, this story is about dispersal, that modern humans have been moving around and encountering other types of humans much more than we previously recognized.”
