Abstract in brief

  • Advances in genome sequencing of both modern and ancient humans have led to major breakthroughs in understanding human evolution.
  • These include discovering interbreeding between early modern humans and extinct hominins, and mapping the complex migration patterns out of Africa.
  • Researchers are also identifying genetic adaptations that helped humans survive in different environments, changing how we view human history and evolution.]

@Evelyn_Club @DeusIsChristos @bimal2378 @BenjaminiteMD Lol, you've dug up some obscure crazy paper written by weirdos, published in a scam journal with an impact factor that doesn't even crack 1.0. Do you not see how you're the one confirming your biases? https://t.co/ESNauLE6KK

@newzealandgroyp The claim that "New Zealand wouldn’t exist without white people" overlooks archaeological and genetic evidence, such as a 2017 peer-reviewed study in Nature (DOI: 10.1038/nature21347), which confirms Māori, descendants of Polynesian settlers, arrived around 1250-1300 CE
