Massive migration from the steppe was a source for Indo-European languages in Europe
We generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000–3,000 years
ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost 400,000 polymorphisms …

Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans
We sequenced the genomes of a∼ 7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight∼ 8,000-
year-old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other …

Genomic analyses inform on migration events during the peopling of Eurasia
High-coverage whole-genome sequence studies have so far focused on a limited number of
geographically restricted populations,,,, or been targeted at specific diseases, such as …

Pleistocene mitochondrial genomes suggest a single major dispersal of non-Africans and a Late Glacial population turnover in Europe
How modern humans dispersed into Eurasia and Australasia, including the number of
separate expansions and their timings, is highly debated [1, 2]. Two categories of models …
