The genetic history of Ice Age Europe
Open accessAbstract
Modern humans arrived in Europe ~45,000 years ago, but little is known about their genetic composition before the start of farming ~8,500 years ago. Here we analyse genome-wide data from 51 Eurasians from ~45,000-7,000 years ago. Over this time, the proportion of Neanderthal DNA decreased from 3-6% to around 2%, consistent with natural selection against Neanderthal variants in modern humans. Whereas there is no evidence of the earliest modern humans in Europe contributing to the genetic composition of present-day Europeans, all individuals between ~37,000 and ~14,000 years ago descended from a single founder population which forms part of the ancestry of present-day Europeans. An ~35,000-year-old individual from northwest Europe represents an early branch of this founder population which was then displaced across a broad region, before reappearing in southwest Europe at the height of the last Ice Age ~19,000 years ago. During the major warming period after ~14,000 years ago, a genetic component related to present-day Near Easterners became widespread in Europe. These results document how population turnover and migration have been recurring themes of European prehistory.

After admixture, early events of negative selection removed large parts of archaic DNA, but about 2% of Neandertal ancestry is still found in all present-day non-Africans.
“After admixture, early events of negative selection removed large parts of archaic DNA but ~2% of Neandertal ancestry is still found in all present-day non-Africans [15–17].”
From Neandertal introgression partitions the genetic landscape of neuropsychiatric disorders and associated behavioral phenotypes (2022) · cites this paper as [15]
The section “Natural selection has reduced Neanderthal ancestry over the last 45,000 years” (page not provided) reports a decline in Neanderthal ancestry driven by natural selection and estimates about 2% in present-day Eurasians. It describes a steady decrease over thousands of years, not specifically early events, and does not establish the figure for all present-day non-Africans. (LLM, conf=0.87)

The decrease in frequency of Neandertal alleles contributing to protein sequence and expression variation is particularly the case near protein coding genes, and is consistent with negative selection on Neandertal DNA in modern humans.
“This is particularly the case near protein coding genes, and is consistent with negative selection on Neandertal DNA in modern humans [5, 6, 7, 39].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
