The living human species. Its population history includes African ancestral structure, dispersal, demographic change and genetic admixture.

Iosif Lazaridis is a population geneticist studying human history with Ancient DNA. Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans by Iosif Lazaridis and others compared ancient and present-day genetic data to model distinct ancestry contributions. The result illustrates why a biological population’s history can require genetic admixture rather than a single branching tree. ^[ref]

An extinct Eurasian human lineage known from fossils and Ancient DNA, with evidence of genetic admixture with ancestors of living people.
