We present a high-quality genome sequence of a Neanderthal woman from Siberia. We
show that her parents were related at the level of half-siblings and that mating among close …

We present a DNA library preparation method that has allowed us to reconstruct a high-coverage
(30×) genome sequence of a Denisovan, an extinct relative of Neandertals. The quality …

We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old
hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other …

Most human polymorphisms are neutral or slightly deleterious, but some genetic variation is
advantageous and maintained in populations by balancing selection. Considered a rarity …

We present the high-quality genome sequence of a ∼45,000-year-old modern human male
from Siberia. This individual derives from a population that lived before—or simultaneously …

… In a recent study (de Filippo et al., 2011), we find a similar correlation between linguistic
affiliation to the four major phyla and Y-chromosomal distances; however, the effects of …

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 from ~…

It has been shown that Neanderthals contributed genetically to modern humans outside
Africa 47,000–65,000 years ago. Here we analyse the genomes of a Neanderthal and a …

Neanderthals and Denisovans are extinct groups of hominins that separated from each other
more than 390,000 years ago 1 , 2 . Here we present the genome of ‘Denisova 11’, a bone …

A unique assemblage of 28 hominin individuals, found in Sima de los Huesos in the Sierra
de Atapuerca in Spain, has recently been dated to approximately 430,000 years ago 1 . An …
