Human impacts prior to the Industrial Revolution are not well constrained. We investigate
whether the decline in global atmospheric CO 2 concentration by 7–10 ppm in the late …

Advances in the sequencing and the analysis of the genomes of both modern and ancient
peoples have facilitated a number of breakthroughs in our understanding of human …

More than two hundred papers have reported genome-wide data from ancient humans.
While the raw data for the vast majority are fully publicly available testifying to the …

Our understanding of population history in deep time has been assisted by fitting admixture
graphs (AGs) to data: models that specify the ordering of population splits and mixtures …

INTRODUCTION Large-scale human genome-sequencing studies to date have been limited
to large, metropolitan populations or to small numbers of genomes from each group. Much …

The past few years have witnessed a revolution in our ability to obtain DNA from ancient
humans. This important new data has added to our knowledge from archaeology and …

Northeastern Siberia has been inhabited by humans for more than 40,000 years but its deep
population history remains poorly understood. Here we investigate the late Pleistocene …

It has recently been demonstrated that inference methods based on genealogical processes
with recombination can uncover past population history in unprecedented detail. However …

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

A combination of evidence, based on genetic, fossil and archaeological findings, indicates
that Homo sapiens spread out of Africa between~ 70-60 thousand years ago (kya) …
