A 23,000-year-old southern Iberian individual links human groups that lived in Western Europe before and after the Last Glacial Maximum – Nature Ecology & Evolution
The authors sequence genome-wide data from multiple human individuals in southern Spain and find long-lasting genetic continuity. Here, in contrast to regions elsewhere in Europe, a 23,000-year-old individual from Malalmuerzo carries genetic ancestry that connects earlier Aurignacian-associated indi…
