This study uses a simulation framework to analyze how Neanderthal ancestry gradients in Europe were shaped by population expansions and interactions between Neanderthals, hunter-gatherers, and farmers.

The paper uses paleogenomic data and simulations to identify conditions under which introgression patterns can trace Neanderthal-modern human hybrid zones.

This study models the Neolithic expansion of farmers in Europe, showing increasing admixture with hunter-gatherers over time and estimating farmer population size relative to hunter-gatherers.

The paper uses simulations and paleogenomic data to infer past admixture events by analyzing temporal variation in introgressed segment length statistics.

The paper reports admixture between Neolithic farmers and Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in the Danube Gorges, supported by palaeogenomic analysis and archaeological findings.

This study shows early European farmers descended directly from Neolithic Aegeans, linking Mediterranean and Central European farmers to southwestern Asia.

This study introduces a new modeling approach to assess genetic continuity using ancient DNA, accounting for population structure and migration, and applies it to estimate Neolithic farmer and hunter-gatherer contributions in central Europe.
