The first paper is a systematic survey of Neandertal ancestry through time; a joint effort with @moorjani_priya ’s lab at UC Berkeley, co-led by @IasiLeonardo and @M_Chintalapati. Leo has a great summary of our main findings here:.
Out today in @sciencemagazine, we've journeyed into our shared history with Neandertals by analyzing over 300 present-day and ancient modern humans, including 59 individuals who lived between 2,000 and 45,000 years ago.

Today is a very big day for our research group, with two of my students, @arevsumer and @IasiLeonardo publishing papers on the same day! #Neanderthals #Geneflow.
