Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

The domestication of animals led to a major shift in human subsistence patterns, from a
hunter–gatherer to a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, which ultimately resulted in the …

Present-day people from England and Wales have more ancestry derived from early
European farmers (EEF) than did people of the Early Bronze Age 1. To understand this, here …

Temporal genomic data hold great potential for studying evolutionary processes such as
speciation. However, sampling across speciation events would, in many cases, require …

Loss of gut microbial diversity,,,,–in industrial populations is associated with chronic
diseases, underscoring the importance of studying our ancestral gut microbiome. However …

Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to
what extent it was linked to humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes and found that …

By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in
Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic …

The kākāpō is a flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand. Once common in the archipelago,
only 201 individuals remain today, most of them descending from an isolated island …

We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the
largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect …

To date, the only Neandertal genome that has been sequenced to high quality is from an
individual found in Southern Siberia. We sequenced the genome of a female Neandertal …
