This study identifies previously unknown Treponema pallidum strains in early modern Europe, suggesting a complex history of treponemal diseases.

This study uses ancient DNA data to show that the spread of the Beaker Complex to Britain was primarily due to migration, replacing most Neolithic gene pool and introducing Steppe ancestry.

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.

This paper presents ancient DNA data from Northern Europe to reconstruct the genetic history of the region, showing earlier Anatolian farmer ancestry and the impact of steppe pastoralists.
