Table 1. Summary of individuals with successful aDNA from Africa reported in this study.

Note 1: Two samples from Lukenya Hill (LUK001 and LUK002) tend out to be genetically the same individual. We merged the genomic data for genetic analyses but report radiocarbon dates for both here. Note 2: The age of samples marked with asterisk is based on the archeological context instead of calibrated radiocarbon date. Aut. Cov., autosomal coverage; MT Cov., mitochondrial coverage.
