Here's our preprint response to the deeply flawed Nature paper that claims a southern African ‘origin’ for Homo sapiens. We want to spread this far and wide as Nature has a big reach, but this paper does not serve the study of human evolution.

Our commentary on the Nature article by Chan et al is available as a preprint. With @liisaloog @mt_genes @DrEleanorScerri @huw_groucutt @Turi__King @AdamRutherford @aylwyn_scally @SarahTishkoff @chiarabarbieri_ @ChikhiLounes @DrAEriksson @DrManica

Response to the recent mtDNA paper claiming human origins in Southern Africa from Schlebush, @huw_groucutt, @AdamRutherford, @SarahTishkoff, @DrEleanorScerri, et al (spoiler: they're not impressed)

Our response to rather silly paper "Human origins in a southern African palaeo-wetland and first migrations" nature.com/articles/s4158… can be found here: preprints.org/manuscript/201…
