significant at P < 0.01. Sample labels follow Table 1. Pooled early Homo includes both southern and East African specimens
Pooled archaic Homo includes all non-Homo sapiens specimens. Pooled Homo sapiens includes Qafzeh, Upper Paleolithic and contemporary samples.
Homo ergaster and Homo antecessor were not analyzed individually due to small sample size but were included in pooled archaic Homo sample
