Figure 2. Deletions in anatomically modern humans (AMHs) that are shared with archaic hominins.

The top panel shows the categorization of deletion polymorphisms as AMH-specific, recurrent (green), introgressed (orange), or ancient (purple). The evolutionary histories of shared deletions are summarized schematically in the bottom panel.
