  abstract = {{T}he emergence of agriculture in {W}est-{C}entral {A}frica approximately 5,000 years ago, profoundly modified the cultural landscape and mode of subsistence of most sub-{S}aharan populations. {H}ow this major innovation has had an impact on the genetic history of rainforest hunter-gatherers-historically referred to as 'pygmies'-and agriculturalists, however, remains poorly understood. {H}ere we report genome-wide {SNP} data from these populations located west-to-east of the equatorial rainforest. {W}e find that hunter-gathering populations present up to 50% of farmer genomic ancestry, and that substantial admixture began only within the last 1,000 years. {F}urthermore, we show that the historical population sizes characterizing these communities already differed before the introduction of agriculture. {O}ur results suggest that the first socio-economic interactions between rainforest hunter-gatherers and farmers introduced by the spread of farming were not accompanied by immediate, extensive genetic exchanges and occurred on a backdrop of two groups already differentiated by their specialization in two ecotopes with differing carrying capacities.},
