Abstract:The deep history of humans in Africa and the complex divergences and migrations among ancient human genetic lineages remain poorly understood and are the subject of ongoing debate. We produced 73 high-quality whole genome sequences from 14 Central and Southern African populations with diverse, well-documented, languages, subsistence strategies, and socio-cultural practices, and jointly analyze this novel data with 104 African and non-African previously-released whole genomes. We find vast genome-wide diversity… Show more
