Re: “How widespread is Denisovan ancestry today?” and “Potato sack race”:
Last month, David Reich and colleagues Reich:Denisova:2011 reported on estimates of Denisovan ancestry for island and mainland Asian populations. Their most ...
When I wrote about the Denisova genome late last year, I claimed that “A large-scale reorganization of the science of human origins is upon us.”
Via a reader: The Daily Mail really aims for the lowest common denominator of genetics: “We’ve all suspected, now it’s official: Ozzy Osbourne IS a Neanderth...
Re: Neandertal DNA
I, for one, welcome my Neandertal ancestry.
The cover story in Nature this week is a paper about the population history of India, from David Reich’s lab. It’s an important contribution to our knowledge...
