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 …

For at least 1.2 billion years, eukaryotes have been able to synthesize sterols and, therefore,
can produce vitamin D when exposed to UV-B. Vitamin D endocrinology was established …

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 …

The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and
they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal …

Western Eurasia witnessed several large-scale human migrations during the Holocene,,,–.
Here, to investigate the cross-continental effects of these migrations, we shotgun-sequenced …

Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to
what extent it was linked to humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes and found that …

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 …

The maritime expansion of Scandinavian populations during the Viking Age (about ad 750–
1050) was a far-flung transformation in world history 1, 2. Here we sequenced the genomes …
