One of the most striking examples of admixture is the discovery of gene flow fro m archaic hominins\, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans\, into the ancest ors of modern humans. In this talk\, I will explore how we can utilize the genomes of present-day individuals from diverse populations to characteri ze the legacy of archaic ancestry in modern humans. Additionally\, I will discuss how ancient DNA from modern humans sampled over the past 50\,000 y ears is providing a fine-scale understanding of the timing and changes in archaic ancestry over time. Together\, these analyses highlight the power of genomic data to illuminate our evolutionary history and answer enduring questions about human origins and adaptation.\n DTSTART:20241112T170000Z DTEND:20241112T180000Z SUMMARY:QLS Seminar Series - Priya Moorjani URL:/qls/channels/event/qls-seminar-series-priya-moorj ani-360804 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
