Ancient DNA reveals matrilineal organisation and recurrent unions between dominant matrilines in Iron Age Britain

The paper uses ancient DNA to show matrilineal kinship structures and recurrent unions between dominant maternal groups in Iron Age Britain.

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.

Postglacial genomes from foragers across Northern Eurasia reveal prehistoric mobility associated with the spread of the Uralic and Yeniseian languages

Ancient DNA from 181 North Eurasian foragers traces a stable west-to-east ancestry gradient and ties Yakutia_LNBA ancestry, with Y-haplogroup N, to Uralic speakers and Seima-Turbino metallurgy.

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

This study analyzes ancient DNA from the Swahili coast to trace genetic admixture between African and Asian populations over time.

Social stratification without genetic differentiation at the site of Kulubnarti in Christian Period Nubia

The paper analyzes genome-wide data from 66 ancient individuals from Kulubnarti to explore genetic ancestry and social stratification in Christian Period Nubia, finding no genetic differentiation between socially stratified cemeteries.

A genetic history of the pre-contact Caribbean

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

The Genomic Formation of Human Populations in East Asia

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

Human Auditory Ossicles as an Alternative Optimal Source of Ancient DNA

This study evaluates auditory ossicles as an alternative to cochlea for ancient DNA recovery, finding comparable DNA quality and quantity with less morphological damage.
