Phylogenetic tree built on a subset of both contemporary and ancient samples. This phylogeny was constructed with the BEAST software using 59 cAMHs, 21 aAMHs, and 5 archaic Neanderthals. The topology presented is well resolved as all nodes exhibit a posterior probability greater than 0.9. The end depth of branches for ancient samples reflects their ages. Ancient and contemporary samples are indicated with rectangles and circles, respectively, and colors indicate their geographical origin. Date estimates for major divergence events estimated using tips calibration are shown at the nodes. The number next to the red stars indicates the colonization/migration event associated with the node.
