Abstract

Jaume Bertranpetit, Partha Majumder and colleagues analyze whole-genome sequences from Andamanese individuals and compare them to sequences from mainland Indian and other geographically diverse populations. They find evidence of ancestry from an unknown extinct hominin in South Asian populations and show that distinct Andamanese characteristics derive from strong natural selection.
