Aspects of human physical and behavioural evolution during the last 1 million years (2019, background): “Genetic data from extant humans suggested that H. sapiens had dispersed from Africa about 55 ka, reached Australia by about 45 ka, and by 30 ka had replaced the Neanderthals across Eurasia with minimal or no interbreeding (Hudjashov et al., 2007; Oppenheimer, 2009; Soares et al., 2009).”

Human dispersal across diverse environments of Asia during the Upper Pleistocene (2013, background): “…mtDNA data, recent literature actually offers a range of dates for human expansion out of Africa, anywhere between 85 and 45 ka (Oppenheimer, 2003, 2009, 2012; Macaulay et al., 2005; Kivisild et al., 2006; Cabrera et al., 2009; Endicott et al., 2009; Soares et al., 2009; Rasmussen et al., 2011).”
The influence of rate heterogeneity among sites on the time dependence of molecular rates. (2012, background): “Accordingly, it is recommended that calibration points should be selected according to the time-scale of interest (Ho et al. 2008) or that a correction be applied to estimates of mutation rates (Soares et al. 2009; Gignoux et al. 2011).”
HaploGrep: a fast and reliable algorithm for automatic classification of mitochondrial DNA haplogroups (2011, background): “As suggested by Soares et al. [2009], a site-specific mutation rate is needed to determine correct and reliable haplogroups.”
The process, biotic impact, and global implications of the human colonization of Sahul about 47,000 years ago (2015, background): “Rapid transit across S Asia to Sahul is indicated by the absence of geographic hierarchy in L3-derived daughter lineages along this arc (e.g. Macaulay et al., 2005; Friedlaender et al., 2007; Hudjashov et al., 2007; Soares et al., 2009; van Holst Pellekaan, 2013).”
