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 …

In the field of human history, ancient DNA has provided answers to long-standing debates
about major movements of people and has begun to inform on other important facets of the …

Present-day people from England and Wales have more ancestry derived from early

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 …

To explore kinship practices at chambered tombs in Early Neolithic Britain, here we
combined archaeological and genetic analyses of 35 individuals who lived about 5,700 …

Genetic genealogy provides crucial insights into the complex biological relationships within
contemporary and ancient human populations by analyzing shared alleles and …

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

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 …
