Highlights d Strong reductions in X chromosome diversity among non-Africans d Positive selection spread long haplotypes across non-African populations d The selected haplotypes spread from a population without Neanderthal admixture d An ancient male genome dates these selective sweeps to 45,000-55,000 years BP
