This study analyzes genomic and metagenomic data from 17th-century colonial Brazil remains to determine ancestry and potential causes of death, finding European genetic links and evidence of infectious diseases.

The paper reveals a previously unknown genomic lineage in present-day Blackfoot Confederacy individuals and their historic ancestors, showing divergence during the Late Pleistocene.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from Northeast Brazil and compares them to other ancient and present-day data, revealing migration routes along South America's Atlantic coast and unexpected ancestry signals.

This study presents the first whole genome sequences of pre-European contact Indigenous people from Uruguay, revealing connections to ancient Panama and eastern Brazil but not modern Amazonians, suggesting a distinct Atlantic coastal migration route.

The paper analyzes ancient DNA from the Andes to reveal genetic adaptations and population dynamics over 7,000 years, showing a split between high and lowland populations and a severe post-European-contact collapse.

The paper analyzes ancient genomes from the Pacific Northwest Coast to show genetic continuity over 10,000 years and population structure in the late Pleistocene.
