Bayesian inference of ancient human demography from individual genome sequences

Besides their value for biomedicine, individual genome sequences are a rich source of information about human evolution. Here we describe an effort to estimate key evolutionary parameters from sequences for six individuals from diverse human populations. We use a Bayesian, coalescent-based approach...
