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

The paper analyzes genetic data from Maya tombs and caves to show that elite lineages extended their ancestral connections across distant locations.

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.

The paper shows that hunter-gatherer continuity persisted in the Rhine-Meuse region longer than in continental Europe, with Bell Beaker groups later disrupting this pattern through mixture.
