TLDR
It is suggested that population bottlenecks, genetic drift, and gene flow prevailed over human population replacement as mechanisms of evolution in humans during the EUP, representing for humans a period of significant niche contraction in western Europe.
Clines of nuclear DNA markers suggest a largely neolithic ancestry of the European gene pool.
TLDR
It is argued that many mitochondrial lineages whose origin has been traced back to the Paleolithic period probably reached Europe at a later time, and is supported by purely genetic evidence on the levels and patterns of microsatellite diversity, rather than by correlations of biological and nonbiological data.
The early Upper Paleolithic human skeleton from the Abrigo do Lagar Velho (Portugal) and modern human emergence in Iberia.
TLDR
A morphological mosaic indicates admixture between regional Neandertals and early modern humans dispersing into southern Iberia and establishes the complexities of the Late Pleistocene emergence of modern humans and refutes strict replacement models of modern human origins.

The landscape of Neandertal ancestry in present-day humans
TLDR
The results suggest that part of the explanation for genomic regions of reduced Neanderthal ancestry is Neanderthal alleles that caused decreased fertility in males when moved to a modern human genetic background.
