All Paleolithic hominids lived by hunt-ing and collecting wild foods, an aspect of existence
that began to disappear only with the emergence of the farming and herding societies of the …

Since the completion of the human genome sequencing project, the discovery and
characterization of human genetic variation is a principal focus for future research …

Using genome-wide genotypes, we characterized the genetic structure of 103,006

This article explores the implications of the recent trends and projections of the ethnic or
foreign-origin populations of selected European countries. It suggests that if the composition …

Our knowledge of the migration routes of the first anatomically modern populations
colonising the European territory at the beginning of the Upper Palaeolithic, of their degree …

The phylogenetic relationships of numerous branches within the core Y-chromosome
haplogroup R-M207 support a West Asian origin of haplogroup R1b, its initial differentiation …

The origins of early farming and its spread to Europe have been the subject of major interest
for some time. The main controversy today is over the nature of the Neolithic transition in …

Genetic isolates, as shown empirically by the Finnish, Old Order Amish, Hutterites, Sardinian

This article presents the initial results from the S2AGES data base of calibrated radiocarbon
estimates from western Europe in the period 25,000–10,000 years ago. Our aim is to present …

There still is no general agreement on the origins of the European gene pool, even though
Europe has been more thoroughly investigated than any other continent. In particular, there …
