Extended Data Fig. 7: Molecular age estimates.
From: Earliest modern human genomes constrain timing of Neanderthal admixture
These ages were obtained (A.) based on branch shortening by missing mutation counts, with each point representing a chromosome and value on the top being the weighted mean value excluding the outliers (filled points) and (B.-D.) using the PSMC curves for three high-coverage early modern humans, in comparison to the genome of a present-day French individual. The lower and upper hinges in the boxplots in A correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles. Upper and lower whiskers are at most 1.5 inter-quartile range away from the upper and lower hinges, respectively.
