Testing the Out of Africa model in East Eurasian genomic origins

Testing the Out of Africa model in East Eurasian genomic origins

University of Tokyo researchers have investigated the origin and dispersal scenarios of Homo sapiens into East Eurasia. The team examined how migration routes, genetic contributions from archaic humans, and environmental adaptations helped shape modern populations and found an improbable flaw in one origin idea. University of Tokyo researchers have investigated the origin and dispersal scenarios of…
