Evolutionary biology: how did the human species form?
Abstract
A recent analysis has shown that divergence between human and chimpanzee varies greatly across the genome. Although this is consistent with "hybridisation" between the diverging human and chimp lineages, such observations can be explained more simply by the null model of allopatric speciation.
