The genome of an Ethiopian male, “Mota,” who lived approximately 4500 years ago is sequenced to demonstrate that the Eurasian backflow into Africa came from a population closely related to Early Neolithic farmers, who had colonized Europe 4000 years earlier.

Ancient DNA and human history

Analysis of genomic data obtained by sequencing hominin fossils with particular emphasis on the unique information that ancient DNA can provide about the demographic history of humans and the authors' closest relatives reveals historical demographic patterns in a way that could be resolved by analyzing present-day genomes alone.
