Abstract

It 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.

之前报告的人类祖先 900 千年的瓶颈很可能是统计上的假象。

最近有报道称，非洲种群的祖先在大约 90 万年前出现了严重的古代瓶颈，而在非洲以外的种群中却没有这种信号。在这里，我们提出证据表明，这一发现很可能是统计上的假象。

期刊介绍： GENETICS is published by the Genetics Society of America, a scholarly society that seeks to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing our understanding of genetics. Since 1916, GENETICS has published high-quality, original research presenting novel findings bearing on genetics and genomics. The journal publishes empirical studies of organisms ranging from microbes to humans, as well as theoretical work. While it has an illustrious history, GENETICS has changed along with the communities it serves: it is not your mentor''s journal. The editors make decisions quickly – in around 30 days – without sacrificing the excellence and scholarship for which the journal has long been known. GENETICS is a peer reviewed, peer-edited journal, with an international reach and increasing visibility and impact. All editorial decisions are made through collaboration of at least two editors who are practicing scientists. GENETICS is constantly innovating: expanded types of content include Reviews, Commentary (current issues of interest to geneticists), Perspectives (historical), Primers (to introduce primary literature into the classroom), Toolbox Reviews, plus YeastBook, FlyBook, and WormBook (coming spring 2016). For particularly time-sensitive results, we publish Communications. As part of our mission to serve our communities, we''ve published thematic collections, including Genomic Selection, Multiparental Populations, Mouse Collaborative Cross, and the Genetics of Sex.
