The best explanation for the archaic genetic signal in African populations (YRI, MSL, LWK, GWD, ESN) is a scenario that assumes admixture from an unknown archaic hominin lineage that split from the common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals between 600,000 and 1,500,000 years ago. This population contributed between 5% and 19% of its DNA to the ancestors of modern humans (the Luhya population of Kenya has individuals with a record 31% of th...
