Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans
- I. Lazaridis, N. Patterson, +117 authors J. Krause
- Biology, Geography
- 2 April 2014
We sequenced genomes from a ∼7,000 year old early farmer from Stuttgart in Germany, an ∼8,000 year old hunter-gatherer from Luxembourg, and seven ∼8,000 year old hunter-gatherers from southern… Expand
The genetic history of Ice Age Europe
Modern humans arrived in Europe ~45,000 years ago, but little is known about their genetic composition before the start of farming ~8,500 years ago. We analyze genome-wide data from 51 Eurasians from… Expand
Reconstructing the Deep Population History of Central and South America

- 15 November 2018
Summary We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 49 individuals forming four parallel time transects in Belize, Brazil, the Central Andes, and the Southern Cone, each dating to at least ∼9,000 years… Expand
The Genomic History of Southeastern Europe
- Iain Mathieson, S. A. Roodenberg, +114 authors D. Reich

- Nature
- 21 February 2018
Farming was first introduced to Europe in the mid-seventh millennium bc, and was associated with migrants from Anatolia who settled in the southeast before spreading throughout Europe. Here, to… Expand
Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans

- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 23 December 2013
We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other ancient genomes with 2,345… Expand
Pleistocene Mitochondrial Genomes Suggest a Single Major Dispersal of Non-Africans and a Late Glacial Population Turnover in Europe
How modern humans dispersed into Eurasia and Australasia, including the number of separate expansions and their timings, is highly debated [1, 2]. Two categories of models are proposed for the… Expand
Reconstructing the Genetic History of Late Neandertals
- Mateja Hajdinjak, Q. Fu, +28 authors J. Kelso
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 8 February 2018
Although it has previously been shown that Neanderthals contributed DNA to modern humans, not much is known about the genetic diversity of Neanderthals or the relationship between late Neanderthal… Expand
Pleistocene Mitochondrial Genomes Suggest a Single Major Dispersal of Non-Africans and a Late Glacial Population Turnover in Europe
Cosimo Posth,* Gabriel Renaud, Alissa Mittnik, Dorothée G. Drucker, Hélène Rougier, Christophe Cupillard, Frédérique Valentin, Corinne Thevenet, Anja Furtwängler, Christoph Wißing, Michael Francken,… Expand
Genetic origins of the Minoans and Mycenaeans
- I. Lazaridis, A. Mittnik, +31 authors G. Stamatoyannopoulos
- Geography, Medicine
- Nature
- 29 June 2017
The origins of the Bronze Age Minoan and Mycenaean cultures have puzzled archaeologists for more than a century. We have assembled genome-wide data from 19 ancient individuals, including Minoans from… Expand
Language continuity despite population replacement in Remote Oceania
- C. Posth, Kathrin Nägele, +26 authors Adam Powell
- Geography, Medicine
- Nature Ecology & Evolution
- 16 February 2018
Recent genomic analyses show that the earliest peoples reaching Remote Oceania—associated with Austronesian-speaking Lapita culture—were almost completely East Asian, without detectable Papuan… Expand
