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 …

Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare.
However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse …

Many species have undergone dramatic population size declines over the past centuries.
Although stochastic genetic processes during and after such declines are thought to elevate …

During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic
changes, yet the nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood …

Farming and sedentism first appeared in southwestern Asia during the early Holocene and
later spread to neighboring regions, including Europe, along multiple dispersal routes …

The human occupation history of Southeast Asia (SEA) remains heavily debated. Current
evidence suggests that SEA was occupied by Hòabìnhian hunter-gatherers until~ 4000 …

The evolutionary basis of domestication has been a longstanding question and its genetic
architecture is becoming more tractable as more domestic species become genome …

The Eneolithic Botai culture of the Central Asian steppes provides the earliest
archaeological evidence for horse husbandry,~ 5500 years ago, but the exact nature of early …

Horse domestication revolutionized warfare and accelerated travel, trade, and the
geographic expansion of languages. Here, we present the largest DNA time series for a non …

The genomic changes underlying both early and late stages of horse domestication remain
largely unknown. We examined the genomes of 14 early domestic horses from the Bronze …
