The extraembryonic yolk sac (YS) ensures delivery of nutritional support and oxygen to the developing embryo but remains ill-defined in humans. We therefore assembled a comprehensive multiomic reference of human YS from 3-8 post-conception weeks by integrating single-cell protein and gene expression data. Beyond its recognized role as a site of hematopoiesis, we highlight roles in metabolism, coagulation, vascular development, and hematopoietic regulation. We reconstructed the emergence and decline of YS hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells from hemogenic endothelium and revealed a YS-specific accelerated route to macrophage production that seeds developing organs. The multiorgan functions of YS are superseded as intraembryonic organs develop, effecting a multifaceted relay of vital functions as pregnancy proceeds. The yolk sac (YS) generates the first blood and immune cells and provides nutritional and metabolic support to the developing embryo. Our current understanding of its functions derives from pivotal studies in model systems and insights from human studies are limited. Single-cell genomics technologies have facilitated the interrogation of human developmental tissues at unprecedented resolution. Atlases of blood and immune cells from multiple organs have been greatly enhanced by focused, time-resolved analyses of specific tissues. To characterize the functions of human YS, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes (CITE-seq) on YS and paired embryonic liver. After integration with external datasets, our reference comprised 169,798 cells from 10 samples spanning 4-8 post-conception weeks (PCW) or Carnegie stages (CS) 10-23. A repertoire of 2D and 3D imaging techniques provided spatial context and validation. We compared the products of two hematopoietic inducible pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) culture protocols against our reference. We determined that YS metabolic and nutritional support originates in the endoderm and that endoderm produces coagulation proteins and hematopoietic growth factors (erythropoietin (EPO) and thrombopoietin (THPO)). Although metabolic and coagulation protein production was conserved between humans, mice, and rabbits, EPO and THPO production was observed in humans and rabbits only. We reconstructed trajectories from YS hemogenic endothelium to early hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Using transcriptomic signatures of early and definitive hematopoiesis, we parsed YS HSPCs into myeloid-biased early HSPCs, and lymphoid and megakaryocyte-biased definitive HSPCs. Human embryonic liver remained macroscopically pale prior to CS14, when hematopoietic cells first emerge from the aorta–gonad–mesonephros (AGM) region. Tracking hemoglobin subtypes led us to conclude that initial erythropoiesis is YS-restricted. In mice by contrast, Hb subtypes suggested two waves of pre-AGM erythropoiesis, including maturation in the macroscopically red embryonic liver. Before CS14, monocytes were absent and macrophages originated from HPSCs via a pre-macrophage cell state. After CS14, monocytes emerged and a second, monocyte-dependent differentiation trajectory was reconstructed. A rare subset of TREM2+ macrophages, with a microglia-like transcriptomic signature, was present after CS14. The iPSC system optimized for macrophage production recapitulated the two routes to macrophage differentiation but did not generate the diversity of macrophages (including TREM2+ macrophages) observed in developing tissues. Our study illuminates a previously obscure phase of human development, where vital functions are delivered by the YS acting as a transient extraembryonic organ. Our comprehensive single cell atlas represents a valuable resource for studying the cellular differentiation pathways unique to early life and leveraging these for tissue engineering and cellular therapy. We characterized functions of the developing human YS, combining scRNA-seq and CITE-seq, with 2D and 3D imaging techniques. Our findings revealed YS contributions to metabolic and nutritional support, and early hematopoiesis. We characterized myeloid bias in early hematopoiesis, distinct myeloid differentiation trajectories, evolutionary divergence in initial erythropoiesis, and YS contributions to developing tissue macrophages.
