    Thread: How does DATES determine generation count?
Post: RE: How does DATES determine generation count?

It looks at all segments, so basically an average. There may be a way to plot the segment lengths to see if there are multiple 'peaks' indicating multiple events though?

    Thread: Neanderthals data converted
Post: RE: Neanderthals data converted

From what I can see at least as far as f-stats go is that, among Neanderthals, AMH affinity is inversely correlated with Denisova affinity, which to me screams admixture (Neanderthals = Denisova + AMH...

There's a 30k year difference between Tianyuan and Loschbour which leads to the slight favoring of Loschbour. JuHoan actually do have 3-5% West Eurasian though via East African Pastoralists.

Is Bab-el-Mandeb really in a different category than the Straight of Gibraltar though? We know the latter was not a barrier to significant genetic flow from Neolithic newcomers.
