Ancient genomes from southern Africa pushes modern human divergence beyond 260,000 years ago

Carina M. Schlebusch, Helena Malmström, Torsten Günther, Per Sjödin, Alexandra Coutinho, Hanna Edlund, Arielle R. Munters, Maryna Steyn, Himla Soodyall, Marlize Lombard, Mattias Jakobsson

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from southern Africa to show that modern human divergence occurred over 260,000 years ago, pushing back previous estimates and linking it to the Middle Stone Age and anatomical changes in the fossil record.
