Descent, marriage, and residence practices of a 3,800-year-old pastoral community in Central Eurasia
Our understanding of prehistoric societal organization at the family level is still limited. Here,
we generated genome data from 32 individuals from an approximately 3,800-y-old burial …

Recurrent evolution and selection shape structural diversity at the amylase locus
The adoption of agriculture triggered a rapid shift towards starch-rich diets in human
populations. Amylase genes facilitate starch digestion, and increased amylase copy number …

High-coverage genome of the Tyrolean Iceman reveals unusually high Anatolian farmer ancestry
Summary The Tyrolean Iceman is known as one of the oldest human glacier mummies,
directly dated to 3350–3120 calibrated BCE. A previously published low-coverage genome …

Genomic perspectives on human dispersals during the Holocene
Nearly 20 y ago, Jared Diamond and Peter Bellwood reviewed the evidence for the
associated spread of farming and large language families by the demographic expansions …

Reconstruction of the human amylase locus reveals ancient duplications seeding modern-day variation
Previous studies suggested that the copy number of the human salivary amylase gene,
AMY1, correlates with starch-rich diets. However, evolutionary analyses are hampered by …

The Persian plateau served as hub for Homo sapiens after the main out of Africa dispersal
A combination of evidence, based on genetic, fossil and archaeological findings, indicates
that Homo sapiens spread out of Africa between~ 70-60 thousand years ago (kya) …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial and temporal heterogeneity in human mobility patterns in Holocene Southwest Asia and the East Mediterranean
We present a spatiotemporal picture of human genetic diversity in Anatolia, Iran, Levant,
South Caucasus, and the Aegean, a broad region that experienced the earliest Neolithic …

A genomic snapshot of demographic and cultural dynamism in Upper Mesopotamia during the Neolithic Transition
Upper Mesopotamia played a key role in the Neolithic Transition in Southwest Asia through
marked innovations in symbolism, technology, and diet. We present 13 ancient genomes (c …

Abstract The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) Neolithic communities were the first to spread
farming across large parts of Europe. We report genome-wide data for 250 individuals: 178 …

Recent speciation associated with range expansion and a shift to self-fertilization in North American Arabidopsis
The main processes classically evoked for promoting reproductive isolation and speciation
are geographic separation reducing gene flow among populations, divergent selection, and …
