文摘Over the past 15 years,analyses of ancient DNA genomes have provided some of the most significant new insights into human evolution and population history,including(among others):the realization that Neandertals contributed 1%–2%of the ancestry of all non-Africans[1];the identification of a new group of hominins,the Denisovans[2];the impact of a previously-unsuspected contribution of steppe-related ancestry to Europeans during the Bronze Age[3,4];and the recognition of a complex genetic history of human populations in East Asia[5-9].
