Figure 6

Pictorial representation of the divergence time and female and male effective population size estimates, based on the simulation results. Red numbers reflect Nf (with ancestral Nf at the point of the red triangle and current Nf at the base of the red triangle) and blue numbers correspondingly reflect ancestral and current Nm. The numbers in the black oval indicate the founding effective sizes for the initial out-of-Africa migration, and dates on arrows indicate divergence times based on the model in Figure 1. Arrows are meant to indicate the schematic direction of migrations and should not be taken as indicating literal migration pathways, for example, the results indicate divergence of the ancestors of Oceanians 61,000 years ago, but not the route(s) people took to get to Oceania.
