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.

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 …

From around 2750 to 2500 bc, Bell Beaker pottery became widespread across western and
