The archeology of modern human origins
- Biology

It is argued that the spread‐and‐replacement hypothesis is also more compatible with a third line of evidence: the archeological record for human behavioral evolution, which is far more strongly supported by burgeoning data on the genetic relationships and diversity of living humans. Expand
Archaic human genomics.

The complete draft genomes of Neanderthals and of heretofore unknown hominins from Siberia demonstrated gene flow between these archaic human species and modern Eurasians but not sub-Saharan Africans, suggesting this unexpected finding does not fit well with either the RAO model or MRE model.
