The mitogenome (33-fold coverage) of the Pe\u015ftera Muierii 1 individual (PM1) from Romania (35\u2009ky\u2009cal\u2009BP) we present in this article corresponds fully to\u00a0<em>Homo sapiens<\/em>, whilst exhibiting a mosaic of morphological features related to both modern humans and Neandertals. We have identified the PM1 mitogenome as a basal haplogroup U6*, not previously found in any ancient or present-day humans. The derived U6 haplotypes are predominantly found in present-day North-Western African populations. Concomitantly, those found in Europe have been attributed to recent gene-flow from North Africa. The presence of the basal haplogroup U6* in South East Europe (Romania) at 35\u2009ky\u2009BP confirms a Eurasian origin of the U6 mitochondrial lineage. Consequently, we propose that the PM1 lineage is an offshoot to South East Europe that can be traced to the Early Upper Paleolithic back migration from Western Asia to North Africa, during which the U6 lineage diversified, until the emergence of the present-day U6 African lineages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new article from the Jakobsson Lab members appeared in Scientific Reports.
