UAGC director Michael F. Hammer has recently been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences-PNAS.

Hammer M.F. "Genetic Evidence for Archaic Admixture in Africa" PNAS, 13 September 2011, Vol. 108 no.37 15123-15128.

Excerpt from Abstract-
"A long-debated question concerns the fate of archaic forms of the genus Homo: did they go extinct without interbreeding with anatomically modern humans, or are their genes present in contemporary populations? This question is typically focused on the genetic contribution of archaic forms outside of Africa. Here we use DNA sequence data gathered from 61 noncoding autosomal regions in a sample of three sub-Saharan African populations (Mandenka, Biaka, and San) to test models of African archaic admixture."
