About this document
Ancestral Structure in Modern Humans by Het Masteen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The article introduces a coalescence-based hidden Markov model called cobraa, which reveals a deep ancestral structure shared by modern humans, indicating that two ancestral populations diverged approximately 1.5 million years ago and later admixed around 300,000 years ago in an 80:20 ratio. The study highlights the limitations of traditional models that assume panmixia and demonstrates that cobraa can effectively infer population size changes and admixture events by analyzing genomic data. Findings suggest
