Hs mtDNA relationships. Blue: non-African taxa; red: African taxa. The arrowheads (a) signify the mtDNA introgression from Hss into Hsnn* ≈ 500,000 YBP, after the Hsnn divergence between Hsnn* and SH-Hsnn (see Fig. 1). The Hss phylogeny underlines the evolutionary continuity leading to the non-African populations and the paraphyly of the African populations [7]. The Hsn branch included only one Denisovan in the analysis. Dashed lines indicate general genetic exchanges [11,12,13,14,15] with these from D0, D1 and D2 showing specific input from separate Denisova lineages [78]. The phylogenetic relationship related to SH-Hsnn and the Denisovans is in accordance with independent findings [11, 14, 15, 76, 78,79,80].
