A recent bottleneck of Y chromosome diversity coincides with a global change in culture
Open accessAbstract
It is commonly thought that human genetic diversity in non-African populations was shaped primarily by an out-of-Africa dispersal 50–100 thousand yr ago (kya). Here, we present a study of 456 geographically diverse high-coverage Y chromosome sequences, including 299 newly reported samples. Applying ancient DNA calibration, we date the Y-chromosomal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) in Africa at 254 (95% CI 192–307) kya and detect a cluster of major non-African founder haplogroups in a narrow time interval at 47–52 kya, consistent with a rapid initial colonization model of Eurasia and Oceania after the out-of-Africa bottleneck. In contrast to demographic reconstructions based on mtDNA, we infer a second strong bottleneck in Y-chromosome lineages dating to the last 10 ky. We hypothesize that this bottleneck is caused by cultural changes affecting variance of reproductive success among males.

TL;DR
This study analyzes 456 high-coverage Y chromosome sequences, including 299 newly reported samples, to reconstruct global Y chromosome diversity and demography. It dates the Y-chromosomal MRCA in Africa at 254 kya, finds a narrow non-African founder haplogroup cluster at 47–52 kya, and infers a second strong Y-chromosome bottleneck in the last 10 ky that may reflect culturally driven changes in male reproductive success.
Key findings
- From 456 geographically diverse high-coverage Y chromosome sequences, the authors retained 8.8 Mb per individual and 35,700 SNPs with >95% call rate; they estimated the Y binary SNP mutation rate at 0.74 × 10−9 per bp per yr (95% CI 0.63–0.95 × 10−9).
- The Y-chromosomal MRCA in Africa was dated to 254 kya (95% CI 192–307 kya); African and non-African lineages separated at 68–72 kya (95% CI 52–87 kya), followed by a narrow interval at 47–52 kya (95% CI 36–62 kya) when major non-African founder haplogroups differentiated.
- Bayesian skyline plots of 320 Y chromosomes and mtDNA from the same individuals both showed increases in effective population size at ∼40–60 kya, but mtDNA Ne estimates were consistently more than twice as high as Y chromosome estimates; the Y plot suggested a reduction around 8–4 kya, when female Ne was up to 17-fold higher than male Ne.
- Many Eurasian Y haplogroups coalesced within the last 15 ky, with novel region-specific clades coalescing within the last 4–8 ky; regional pairwise divergence times also clustered around peopling of the Americas at ∼15 kya.
Methods
- The study combined 299 new unrelated male samples from 110 populations with publicly available data for 456 total sequences; two Mbo individuals of haplogroup A00 were sequenced to root the phylogeny, and quality checks included Estonian first-degree relatives, Dutch father-son pairs, and duplicate samples.
- Whole-genome sequencing used Complete Genomics at >40× coverage for blood and >80× for saliva, with Illumina HiSeq 2000 at 30× aimed coverage for the A00 samples; after filtering, analyses used 8.8 Mb of reliable Chr Y sequence and 35,700 high-quality biallelic SNPs.
- Coalescent times and phylogenies were estimated with BEAST v1.8.0, summary statistics with Arlequin v3.5.1.3, and demographic scenarios with FastSimCoal2 simulations; the mutation rate was calibrated using ancient DNA from the 12.6-ky-old Anzick (Q1b) and 4-ky-old Saqqaq (Q2b) specimens.
Limitations
- The paper states that the mutation rate estimate is based on only two ancient DNA samples from a relatively recent time horizon and the same Y chromosome haplogroup, though it notes an independent estimate of 0.76 × 10−9 per bp per yr from a different, older ancient DNA specimen.
- The authors note that cross-species mapping showed 4.6% discordance at positions separating A2′5 and BT, higher than the 1%–2% predicted from human-chimpanzee divergence, likely reflecting mapping uncertainties.
- The paper states that because the Y chromosome is essentially a single locus with very low Ne, the results cannot refute alternative models of earlier Middle Pleistocene dispersals (100–130 kya) from Africa; such evidence could be embedded only in the autosomal genome.
- The authors state that population structure combined with unbalanced sampling can lead Bayesian skyline plots to infer false population declines, and that most existing methods are underpowered to detect Ne changes within the past few thousand years from recombining genome-wide data.
- The cultural explanation for the male-specific bottleneck is presented as a hypothesis; the paper notes that the inferred mid-Holocene Ne dips may also represent a genuine population collapse following the introduction of farming.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-12, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-12 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
