More than two hundred papers have reported genome-wide data from ancient humans.
While the raw data for the vast majority are fully publicly available testifying to the …

Abstract In European and many African, Middle Eastern and southern Asian populations,
lactase persistence (LP) is the most strongly selected monogenic trait to have evolved over …

By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in
Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic …

Europe's prehistory oversaw dynamic and complex interactions of diverse societies, hitherto
unexplored at detailed regional scales. Studying 271 human genomes dated~ 4900 to 1600 …

This Element was written to meet the theoretical and methodological challenge raised by the
third science revolution and its implications for how to study and interpret European …

The transition from Stone to Bronze Age in Central and Western Europe was a period of
major population movements originating from the Ponto-Caspian Steppe. Here, we report …

Ancient DNA research in the past decade has revealed that European population structure
changed dramatically in the prehistoric period (14,000–3000 years before present, YBP) …

Large-scale archaeogenetic studies of people from prehistoric Europe tend to be broad in
scope and difficult to resolve with local archaeologies. However, accompanying …

The Gjerrild burial provides the largest and best-preserved assemblage of human skeletal
material presently known from the Single Grave Culture (SGC) in Denmark. For generations …

The recent increase in openly available ancient human DNA samples allows for large-scale
meta-analysis applications. Trans-generational past human mobility is one of the key …
