Different historical generation intervals in human populations inferred from Neanderthal fragment lengths and mutation signatures
Historical interbreeding between Neanderthals and humans should leave signatures of historical demographics in modern human genomes. Analysing the size distribution of Neanderthal fragments in non-African genomes suggests consistent differences in the generation interval across Eurasia, and that thi...
