Subsistence transition preceded population turnover in the eastern Colombian Andes

The paper uses ancient DNA data from the eastern Colombian Andes to show that subsistence changes involving maize occurred without population replacement, followed by a major genetic turnover linked to the Herrera culture.

Tracing social mechanisms and interregional connections in Early Bronze Age Societies in Lower Austria

This study analyzes genome-wide data from Early Bronze Age individuals in Lower Austria to explore social structure and genetic relationships, revealing patrilocal society and long-distance genetic connections.

The Genetic Origin of the Indo-Europeans

This paper uses ancient DNA data to trace the genetic origins of the Yamnaya culture and links their expansion to the spread of Indo-European languages.

A genomic history of the North Pontic Region from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age

This study analyzes genomic data from 78 prehistoric North Pontic individuals to trace genetic ancestry and migration patterns from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.

Social and genetic diversity in first farmers of central Europe

This study analyzes ancient DNA from LBK Neolithic sites to show genetic differences between eastern and western LBK populations, with evidence of patrilocality and no evidence of male-biased WHG admixture.

The Entwined African and Asian Genetic Roots of the Medieval Peoples of the Swahili Coast
