Surprising partner preference found in matings between Neanderthals and modern humans Male Neanderthals tended to pair up with female modern humans, but whether intercourse was consensual is unclear

Were Neanderthals and Homo sapiens ‘good species’? Prior to the advent of whole-genome sequencing in ancient humans, the likelihood that Homo sapiens and Neanderthals admixed has long been debated, mos…

Here's where Massimo Bernardi and I reviewed genetic evidence for #admixture often used to support single species status, discuss the 'braided stream' and 'network' depictions of human origins and ultimately challenge simplistic conceptions of how 'good species' should behave. 🧬

Ancestry, admixture, and pathogens in contemporaneous Neolithic farmers and foragers on the Island of Gotland Two archaeological cultural complexes coexisted on Gotland for over 500 years, between ∼3300 and 2800 calBCE, i.e. the Neolithic Funnelbeaker culture (FBC), and the Pitted ware culture (PWC). The ance...

5/🧵 #Admixture has seldom been detected in #Hawaiian #honeycreepers. We find:
❌ no evidence that ‘ō‘ū 🦜interbred with kiwikiu 🐦
✅ significant evidence of gene flow from Lāna’i ‘ō‘ū 🦜into the Lānai hookbill🐤 (extinct in early 1900s)
highlighting a pre-extinction breeding strategy in this clade

Patterns of genetic admixture reveal similar rates of borrowing across diverse scenarios of language contact Human population contact leads to consistently similar rates of linguistic borrowing, but effects vary across linguistic features.

What do nearly 300,000 American genomes reveal? Ancestry isn’t a box—it's a gradient. The All of Us cohort shows how deeply entangled our histories are. #Genomics #Anthropology #Admixture #HumanEvolution #PopulationGenetics

Cool! Modern humans history is interesting and relevant to current humans. I might need a little help interpreting few points in this paper, like the ‘failed’ out-of-Africa migrations.. Any ancient genome/population geneticist wants to break down this paper?

The island of São Tomé provides unique opportunities to disentangle the impact of social
segregation on genetic diversity in the colonial context of the TAST, throughout the expansion
of the Plantation Economy system, and after the abolition of the TAST and that of slavery.
