Ultimately, we hope our analyses demonstrates the reliability of ancient coalescence-based inference as well as renewing interest in homo-Pan speciation ~5-6Mya. 10/10

We note that the inferred peaks in homo & Pan are of very different magnitudes. We show using simulations that such a signal can arise from varying amounts of admixture between two populations that split 6Mya and rejoined 3Mya, in a ratio of 80:20 for humans and 50:50 in Pan.7/n
