abstract = {{Genomic analyses of Neanderthals have previously provided insights into their {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}population history and relationship to modern humans1{\textendash}8, but the social organization {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}of Neanderthal communities remains poorly understood. Here we present genetic {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}data for 13 Neanderthals from two Middle Palaeolithic sites in the Altai Mountains of {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}southern Siberia: 11 from Chagyrskaya Cave9,10 and 2 from Okladnikov Cave11{\textemdash}making {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}this one of the largest genetic studies of a Neanderthal population to date. We used {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}hybridization capture to obtain genome-wide nuclear data, as well as mitochondrial {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}and Y-chromosome sequences. Some Chagyrskaya individuals were closely related, {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}including a father{\textendash}daughter pair and a pair of second-degree relatives, indicating {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}that at least some of the individuals lived at the same time. Up to one-third of these {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}individuals{\textquoteright} genomes had long segments of homozygosity, suggesting that the {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}Chagyrskaya Neanderthals were part of a small community. In addition, the {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}Y-chromosome diversity is an order of magnitude lower than the mitochondrial {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}diversity, a pattern that we found is best explained by female migration between {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}communities. Thus, the genetic data presented here provide a detailed documentation {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}of the social organization of an isolated Neanderthal community at the easternmost {\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}{\textless}br{\textgreater}extent of their known range.}},
