Study: Blending pairing of alleles has moulded human ancestry

Washington, May 19: Complex patterns of migration, isolation, and admixture--a phrase used to describe the exchange of genes between members of various populations--have characterised human history. As a result of the mixing of genetic lineages during admixture, populations' genetic diversity increases. Ancient humans interbred with other hominin species, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, in addition to current human populations.
