Since the sequencing of the first Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes, genetic evidence has revealed an increasing number of admixture events between Homo sapiens and these archaic humans. However, scientists have lacked detailed information about Y chromosome sequences from our two closest relatives. Now, on page 1653 of this issue, Petr et al. (1) report intricate DNA sequencing data for Y chromosomes from less-than-well-preserved bones of male Neanderthals and Denisovans.

令人费解的早期会议的最后一部分

自从对第一个尼安德特人和丹尼索瓦人基因组进行测序以来，遗传证据表明智人与这些远古人类之间的混合事件越来越多。然而，科学家们缺乏关于我们两个近亲的 Y 染色体序列的详细信息。现在，在本期的第 1653 页，Petr等人。( 1 ) 报告了来自保存不佳的男性尼安德特人和丹尼索瓦人骨骼的 Y 染色体的复杂 DNA 测序数据。
