The paper analyzes genetic data from Maya tombs and caves to show that elite lineages extended their ancestral connections across distant locations.

This study uses genome-wide data from pre-contact Caribbean individuals to trace population movements and genetic continuity across the region.

This paper uses ancient and present-day genomic data to reconstruct the population history of East Asia, identifying key migrations and language dispersals.

The paper analyzes three LBK individuals to show early interbreeding between incoming Anatolian farmers and local hunter gatherers in central Europe.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from the Balearic Islands, Sicily, and Sardinia to trace the arrival and spread of Steppe and Iranian-related ancestries in the western Mediterranean, revealing complex admixture histories.

This paper analyzes ancient DNA from the Caucasus to show that a population around 26,000 years ago contributed significantly to modern West Eurasian ancestry.

The paper uses ancient DNA analysis to show that Papuan ancestry arrived in Vanuatu around 2400 BP, suggesting multiple waves of migration from Near Oceania.

Ancient DNA from 223 people (12,000-500 BCE) reveals a west-east hunter-gatherer cline, largely unadmixed farmers, Caucasus-shifted Aegean farmers, and Balkan steppe ancestry almost 2,000 years early.

The paper analyzes ancient and present-day genome-wide data to show widespread Paleo-Eskimo ancestry among Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut language speakers and presents a model for North America's peopling.
