Figure 5. Results of effective population size inference across eight extant human populations and an ancient Ust’-Ishim individual.

A generation time of 29 years was used to convert the coalescent scaling to calendar time. (a) Results for all populations on a log-log scale. Plot assumes that the Ust’-Ishim individual lived until 45 kya. (b) Results for present-day populations on a linear scale over the past 20 ky. See Supplementary Table 2 for a description of the populations and sample sizes.
