The study analyzes ancient DNA from Iron Age and historical individuals in Zambia and Malawi to reveal multiple Bantu migrations into south central Africa, with genetic continuity from Later Stone Age foragers.

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.

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 paper presents genome-wide data from Gravettian-associated individuals and sedimentary DNA from the Solutrean period, revealing genetic admixture between East and West European populations before the Last Glacial Maximum.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

This study shows that the Doublesex gene regulates reproductive division of labor in honey bees by controlling ovary development and pheromonal signaling.
