quote: The study on the partial calvarium discovered at Manot Cave, Western Galilee, Israel (dated to 54.7 ± 5.5 kyr BP, Hershkovitz et al. 2015), revealed close morphological affinity with recent African skulls as well as with early Upper Paleolithic European skulls, but less so with earlier anatomically modern humans from the Levant (e.g., Skhul). The ongoing fieldwork at the Manot Cave has resulted in the discovery of several new hominin teeth. These include a lower incisor (I1), a right lower first deciduous molar (dm1), a left upper first deciduous molar (dm1) and an upper second molar (M2) all from area C (>32 kyr) and a right upper second molar (M2) from area E (>36 kyr). The current study presents metric and morphological data on the new Manot Cave teeth. These new data combined with our already existing knowledge on the Manot skull may provide an important insight on the Upper Paleolithic population of the Levant, its origin and dietary habits.

But again proof of multiple waves of Africans migrating into "Eurasia".
And what kind of "skull type" is this? God forbid would somebody call it "SSA"?
And what skull types did the older remains in Eurasia have? Would they be "elongated"?

^ Yes, it's very important. And it's equally important to who does it.

I was being sarcastic mostly but yest they do need to start sampling DNA more....

Reich postulated 'so-called SSA' gene flow into Eurasia long before the Lazaridis BE craze.
Hirbo briefly touches on • modern Euros emerged from recent looking African migrants • contraction of these migrant Africans back home • the before OoA African origin of mtDNA M, N, & R0 • climate and bottlenecks • bacterial confirmation of African expansion in Eurasia

quote: African and Middle Eastern populations shared the greatest number of alleles absent from all other populations (fig. S6B).
Within Africa, the most private alleles were in southern Africa, reflecting those in southern African Khoesan (SAK) San and !Xun/Khwe populations (fig. S6C) (12).
Eastern and Saharan Africans shared the most alleles absent from other African populations examined (fig. S6D).
