Dating ancient humans splits by estimating Poisson rates from mitochondrial DNA parity samples
K. Levinstein Hallak, S. Rosset
The paper estimates divergence times between species using Poisson rate models on mitochondrial DNA parity data, showing improved accuracy over BEAST2 and suggesting later TMRCA for Neanderthals, Denisovans, and chimpanzees.
