The paper investigates whether the spread of megaliths in Neolithic Europe was due to population movements or cultural diffusion, finding that both factors interacted through trade networks.

This study analyzes 68 ancient Portuguese genomes over 5,000 years, revealing migration patterns and genetic continuity, with influences from local, African, and Mediterranean populations.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Twist Ancient DNA reagent for enriching ancient human SNPs, finding it robust for up to 27% endogenous DNA content with two rounds of enrichment.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from 204 individuals to show stable population structure in Europe despite high mobility during the historical period.

This study integrates skeletal and paleogenomic data from ancient Europeans to show that early farmers were shorter than expected based on genetic scores, suggesting poorer health.

The paper analyzes ancient mitochondrial DNA from the Iberian Peninsula to study maternal genetic changes from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age, finding regional continuity and distinct population history compared to Central Europe.

The paper analyzes ancient genomic data from Portugal to study genetic changes during the Neolithic to Bronze Age transition, finding limited genetic influx and correlations between ancestry and stature.
