A previously reported bottleneck in human ancestry 900 kya is likely a statistical artifact
Deng, Y.; Nielsen, R.; Song, Y. S.
AbstractIt was recently reported that a severe ancient bottleneck occurred around 900 thousand years ago in the ancestry of African populations, while this signal is absent in non-African populations. Here, we present evidence to show that this finding is likely a statistical artifact.
