The first decade of ancient genomics has revolutionized the study of human prehistory and
evolution. We review new insights based on prehistoric modern human genomes, including …

The past several years have witnessed an explosion of successful ancient human genome-
sequencing projects, with genomic-scale ancient DNA data sets now available for more than …

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 …

Modern humans have populated Europe for more than 45,000 years,. Our knowledge of the
genetic relatedness and structure of ancient hunter-gatherers is however limited, owing to …

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 …

We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the
largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect …

Major migration events in Holocene Eurasia have been characterized genetically at broad
regional scales,,–. However, insights into the population dynamics in the contact zones are …

Revealing and understanding the mechanisms behind social inequality in prehistoric
societies is a major challenge. By combining genome-wide data, isotopic evidence, and …

The roles of migration, admixture and acculturation in the European transition to farming
have been debated for over 100 years. Genome-wide ancient DNA studies indicate …
