  1. The posterior probability medians of the five parameters in the demographic model. The 95% highest posterior density interval for each parameter is given in the line below the median values. Values are listed for each of three data sets, including the Africa-Asia comparison (AA), the Africa-Europe (AE) comparison, and the Africa-Oceania comparison (AO).
