Raw and calibrated estimates for the San (τKHEXS) and African-Eurasian (AE) (τKHEX) divergence times. Separate results are shown for the Yoruban and Bantu representatives of the African ingroup population X. In all cases, a migration band between the San and the African ingroup X was included in the model. Raw estimates (mean and 95% Bayesian credible intervals) are given in units of expected mutations per site × 10−4. Calibrated estimates are given in thousands of years (kya), for three different human-chimpanzee calibrations (Tdiv = {5.6, 6.5, 7.6} Mya).
