Human-genome researcher
Also known as D. Reich
Who they are
David Reich was a corresponding coauthor of the international team’s 2010 draft Neandertal genome paper. The team compared ancient DNA with present-day genomes and found patterns supporting gene flow into ancestors of sampled non-African populations. His profile identifies a documented collaborative role in changing how human evolutionary relationships could be investigated.
He connects the human-origins timeline to evidence from ancient DNA and population comparisons.

A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome
The international team compares a draft Neandertal genome with sampled present-day humans. Patterns in those comparisons support an inference of gene flow into ancestors of non-African populations.
