According to the authors Green et al. (2010), the observed excess of genetic similarity is best explained by recent gene flow from Neanderthals to modern humans after the migration out of Africa. [11] They estimated the proportion of Neanderthal-derived ancestry to be 1–4% of the Eurasian genome. [11]
Southern Dispersal migration out of Africa, Proto-Australoid peopling of Oceania. [62] Archaic admixture from Neanderthals in Eurasia, [ 63 ] [ 64 ] from Denisovans in Oceania with trace amounts in Eastern Eurasia, [ 65 ] and from an unspecified African lineage of archaic humans in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as an interbred species of ...
Migration continued Southeast on the coastal route to the straits between Sunda and Sahul, the continental land mass of present-day Australia and New Guinea. The gaps on the Weber Line are up to 90 km wide, [ 78 ] so the migration to Australia and New Guinea would have required seafaring skills.
Studies show that the pre-modern migration of human populations begins with the movement of Homo erectus out of Africa across Eurasia about 1.75 million years ago. Homo sapiens appeared to have occupied all of Africa about 150,000 years ago; some members of this species moved out of Africa 70,000 years ago (or, according to more recent studies, as early as 125,000 years ago into Asia, [1] [2 ...
A uniquely preserved prehistoric mudhole could hold the oldest-ever human footprints on the Arabian Peninsula, scientists say.The seven footprints, found amidst a clutter of hundreds of ...
Its ancestry is thought to be species related to Aegyptopithecus, Propliopithecus, and Parapithecus from the Faiyum, at around 35 mya. [26] In 2010, Saadanius was described as a close relative of the last common ancestor of the crown catarrhines, and tentatively dated to 29–28 mya, helping to fill an 11-million-year gap in the fossil record.
Unlocking the mystery of hibernation could improve medicine and support our ambitions for deep-space travel. A new study analyzes the blood cells of bats (of both the hibernating and non ...
Schematic illustration of maternal (mtDNA) gene-flow in and out of Beringia, from 25,000 years ago to present. The genetic history of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas is divided into two distinct periods: the initial peopling of the Americas from about 20,000 to 14,000 years ago (20–14 kya), and European contact, after about 500 years ago.
