Figure 2. Neanderthal introgression reintroduced thousands of lost ancestral alleles to Eurasian populations.

Figure 2.

The number of RAs and NDAs in each Eurasian 1000 Genomes population (EAS = East Asian; EUR = European ancestry; SAS = South Asian) identified by our pipeline (Extended Data Fig. 1; Methods). Overall, Neanderthal admixture is responsible for the presence of over 200,000 ancestral alleles lost in the human OOA bottleneck or later migrations into the ancestors of Eurasian populations.
