Genetic clustering algorithms, implemented in programs such as STRUCTURE and
ADMIXTURE, have been used extensively in the characterisation of individuals and …

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

We sequenced Early Neolithic genomes from the Zagros region of Iran (eastern Fertile
Crescent), where some of the earliest evidence for farming is found, and identify a previously …

The possibility of voyaging contact between prehistoric Polynesian and Native American
populations has long intrigued researchers. Proponents have pointed to the existence of …

Characterizing genetic diversity in Africa is a crucial step for most analyses reconstructing
the evolutionary history of anatomically modern humans. However, historic migrations from …

Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry
mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan …

Demographic processes directly affect patterns of genetic variation within contemporary
populations as well as future generations, allowing for demographic inference from patterns …

Similarity between two individuals in the combination of genetic markers along their
chromosomes indicates shared ancestry and can be used to identify historical connections …

Abstract The Iberian Peninsula is linguistically diverse and has a complex demographic
history, including a centuries-long period of Muslim rule. Here, we study the fine-scale …
