Population Genomics of Stone Age Eurasia
TLDR
This work provides new insights into major transformations in recent human evolution, elucidating the complex interplay between selection and admixture that shaped patterns of genetic variation in modern populations.
Late Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers in the Central Mediterranean: new archaeological and genetic data from the Late Epigravettian burial Oriente C (Favignana, Sicily)
TLDR
A substantial genetic homogeneity among Late Epigravettian hunter-gatherer populations of Central Mediterranean appears, presumably as a consequence of continuous gene flow among different groups, or a range expansion following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).
Heterogeneous Hunter-Gatherer and Steppe-Related Ancestries in Late Neolithic and Bell Beaker Genomes from Present-Day France
Early Alpine occupation backdates westward human migration in Late Glacial Europe
TLDR
The results suggest that demic diffusion from a genetically diverse population may have substantially contributed to cultural changes in LGM and post-LGM Southern Europe, independently from abrupt shifts to warmer and more favourable conditions.
Genomic and dietary discontinuities during the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Sicily
Genomic and dietary transitions during the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic in Sicily
TLDR
Genome-wide and isotopic data from prehistoric Sicilians reveal a pre-farming connection to (south-) eastern Europe, and tentative initial evidence that hunter-gatherers adopted some Neolithic aspects prior to near-total replacement by early farmers.
Assessing temporal and geographic contacts across the Adriatic Sea through the analysis of genome-wide data from Southern Italy
Southern Italy was characterised by a complex prehistory that started with different Palaeolithic cultures, later followed by the Neolithic transition and the demic dispersal from the Pontic-Caspian…
Hunter-gatherers across the great Adriatic-Po region during the Last Glacial Maximum: Environmental and cultural dynamics
The Genetic Origin of Daunians and the Pan-Mediterranean Southern Italian Iron Age Context
TLDR
This study provides for the first time a window on the genetic make-up of pre-imperial Southern Italy, whose increasing connectivity within the Mediterranean landscape, would have contributed to laying the foundation for modern genetic variability.
Ancient genome-wide DNA from France highlights the complexity of interactions between Mesolithic hunter-gatherers and Neolithic farmers
TLDR
Using the genetic substructure observed in European hunter-gatherers, diverse patterns of admixture in different regions are characterized, consistent with both routes of expansion, which highlight the complexity of the biological interactions during the Neolithic expansion by revealing major regional variations.

While the series of events that shaped the transition between foraging societies and food producers are well described for Central and Southern Europe, genetic evidence from Northern Europe…
The maternal genetic make-up of the Iberian Peninsula between the Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age
TLDR
This study focuses on the maternal genetic makeup of the Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age in Iberia, and reports ancient mitochondrial DNA results of 213 individuals from the northeast, central, southeast and southwest regions and thus on the largest archaeogenetic dataset from the Peninsula to date.
Four millennia of Iberian biomolecular prehistory illustrate the impact of prehistoric migrations at the far end of Eurasia
TLDR
The impact of prehistoric (Neolithic–Bronze Age) migrations in Iberia is studied by analyzing genomic and dietary data, demonstrating that farming practices were introduced by a population genetically distinct from the first farmers in central and northern Europe.
The Genomic History of Southeastern Europe
TLDR
It is shown that southeastern Europe continued to be a nexus between east and west after the arrival of farmers, with intermittent genetic contact with steppe populations occurring up to 2,000 years earlier than the migrations from the steppe that ultimately replaced much of the population of northern Europe.
The population genomics of archaeological transition in west Iberia: Investigation of ancient substructure using imputation and haplotype-based methods
TLDR
Genome-wide imputation of a large dataset of ancient samples enabled sensitive methods for detecting population structure and selection in ancient samples and revealed subtle genetic differentiation between the Portuguese Neolithic and Bronze Age samples suggesting a markedly reduced influx in Iberia compared to other European regions.
Upper Palaeolithic genomes reveal deep roots of modern Eurasians
TLDR
It is found that Caucasus hunter-gatherers (CHG) belong to a distinct ancient clade that split from western hunter- Gatherers ∼45 kya, shortly after the expansion of anatomically modern humans into Europe and from the ancestors of Neolithic farmers ∼25 KYa, around the Last Glacial Maximum.
Neolithic and Bronze Age migration to Ireland and establishment of the insular Atlantic genome
TLDR
The first ancient whole genomes from Ireland, including two at high coverage, demonstrate that large-scale genetic shifts accompanied both Neolithic and Bronze Age transitions, and suggest the establishment of central attributes of the Irish genome 4,000 y ago.
Paleogenomic Evidence for Multi-generational Mixing between Neolithic Farmers and Mesolithic Hunter-Gatherers in the Lower Danube Basin
Ancient DNA from an Early Neolithic Iberian population supports a pioneer colonization by first farmers
TLDR
A Bayesian coalescence‐based simulation approach is used to identify the most likely of three demographic scenarios that might explain the genetic data of the Early Neolithic population, and finds that models that ignore population structure are unlikely to explain the data.
Early farmers from across Europe directly descended from Neolithic Aegeans
TLDR
This study demonstrates a direct genetic link between Mediterranean and Central European early farmers and those of Greece and Anatolia, extending the European Neolithic migratory chain all the way back to southwestern Asia.
