Abstract in brief
The study uses genome data from 16 prehistoric Africans to reveal that an ancient lineage, mainly linked to the San people, was more widespread in the past, contributing significantly to both Malawi and Tanzanian hunter-gatherers.
It shows that the spread of farming from western Africa led to the complete replacement of some local hunter-gatherers and traces how pastoralist populations, like a 3100-year-old Tanzanian, contributed genetically to various African groups over time.
The research uncovers complex early diversifications in African lineages, involving gene flow between distant groups and the presence of deeply diverged lineages, including evidence for natural selection in southern African populations.]

@CompEvoMetu Aynı yıl Afrika'da tarım öncesi ve tarıma geçiş toplumlarının yapısı araştırıldı. Antik DNA çalışmaları açısından oldukça dezavantajlı olan bu bölgenin tarihinin anlaşılması insanlık tarihi açısından da önemli.

@tyrat @Gabir_Gabir_ @Phillip05166897 @ghostdog1999 Nope, look at 42:30. Plus there are variations amongst East Africans. Eritreans are closer to Swedes, while Somalis have higher EAHG ancestry. Read the Shum Laka paper done by David Reich and Reconstructing Prehistoric African Population Structure

@U740_2 @pure_ayhanium @62araxes58 2/ I've read Skoglund et al from 2017 "Reconstructing Prehistoric African Population Structure".
Lazadris & Van de Loosdrecht two separate studies confirm what I've said (2018). I'll explain the second one in another message. The evidence is pretty much overwhelming.

@SpiritOfEnnui @zagrebbi @History__Speaks @ScipioAdronic Another study estimated 9 and 13% respectively for two specifc west subsaharan populations.
Which is about the middle of the 2-19% estimate.
So atleast subsaharan west africans probably have significantly more archaic admixture.
2-4% for eurasians.
