  • In the month of International Women’s Day, we asked six scientists about the most influential woman who shaped their field. They highlight well-known names and rising stars. Some of them have studied gender equality, and all have made tremendous efforts towards achieving it.

  • A First Nation population declined after European contact, likely as a result of infectious disease. Here, researchers partner with indigenous communities to analyse ancient and modern Native American exomes, and find a shift in selection pressure on immune genes, correlated to European-borne epidemics.

  • The analysis of whole-genome sequence data from both modern and ancient humans has provided evidence for archaic adaptive introgression. Here, the authors provide an overview of the statistical methods used and the supporting evidence for reported examples of archaic introgression, which may have driven the acquisition of beneficial variants that enabled adaptation and survival in new environments.

  • Admixture with other hominin species helped humans to adapt to high-altitude environments; the EPAS1 gene in Tibetan individuals has an unusual haplotype structure that probably resulted from introgression of DNA from Denisovan or Denisovan-related individuals into humans, and this haplotype is only found in Denisovans and Tibetans, and at low frequency among Han Chinese.

  • This review describes evidence of multiple Denisovan populations, each with varying relatedness to Altai Denisovans, that introgressed into modern humans and highlights how introgression influenced human adaptation to a range of environments.
