This paper uses genetic data to show that two distinct superarchaic populations contributed to modern human ancestry, with one contributing ~20% to African populations and the other to Eurasian archaics.

The paper estimates the evolutionary history of bonobos and chimpanzees using whole genome sequences, finding introgression events and male-biased reproduction.

The paper develops a new method to assess shared weak selection signals across human populations using 1000 Genomes Phase 3 data, finding that weak selection increases population differences around coding regions.

The paper develops a method to detect genomic regions with independent selection in two populations and identifies genes likely undergoing independent selection in different populations.

The paper examines how genomic regions under soft sweeps affect population history inferences using site pattern frequencies, finding small impacts despite differences between neutral and selected regions.
