The Beaker Phenomenon and the Genomic Transformation of Northwest Europe
From around 2750 to 2500 bc, Bell Beaker pottery became widespread across western and central Europe, before it disappeared between 2200 and 1800 bc. The forces that propelled its expansion are a… Expand
Ancient proteins resolve the evolutionary history of Darwin’s South American ungulates

- 4 June 2015
No large group of recently extinct placental mammals remains as evolutionarily cryptic as the approximately 280 genera grouped as ‘South American native ungulates’. To Charles Darwin, who first… Expand
Divergent evolutionary processes associated with colonization of offshore islands

- 16 September 2016
Significance The displacement of Neandertals by anatomically modern humans (AMHs) 50,000–40,000 y ago in Europe has considerable biological and behavioral implications. The Châtelperronian at the… Expand
Ancient genomes indicate population replacement in Early Neolithic Britain

- Biology, Geography
- Nature Ecology & Evolution
- 15 April 2019
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 predominantly Aegean ancestry… Expand
Independent evolutionary histories in allopatric populations of a threatened Caribbean land mammal
Aim: To determine the evolutionary history, relationships and distinctiveness of allopatric populations of Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus), a highly threatened Caribbean ‘relict’ mammal,… Expand
