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.
最近有报道称,在非洲人群的祖先中,大约90万年前发生了一次严重的古代瓶颈效应,而在非非洲人群中没有这种信号。在此,我们提供证据表明这一发现可能是一种统计假象。
