Population structure of modern-day Italians reveals patterns of ancient and arc...
Raveane, A; Aneli, S; Montinaro, F; Athanasiadis, G; Barlera, S; Birolo, G; Boncoraglio, G; Di, Blasio, AM; Di, Gaetano, C; Pagani, L; Parolo, SEuropean populations display low genetic differentiation as the result of long-term blending of their ancient founding ancestries. However, it is unclear how the combination of ancient ancestries related to early foragers, Neolithic farmers, and Bronze Age nomadic pastoralists can explain the distribution of genetic variation across Europe. Populations in natural crossroads like the Italian peninsula are expect...
Evidence of Austronesian Genetic Lineages in East Africa and South Arabia: Comp...

The Austronesian dispersal across the Indonesian Ocean to Madagascar and the Comoros has been well documented, but in an unexplained anomaly, few to no traces have been found of the Austronesian expansion in East Africa or the Arabian Peninsula.

The Comoros Show the Earliest Austronesian Gene Flow into the Swahili Corridor
Brucato, N; Fernandes, V; Mazières, S; Kusuma, P; Cox, MP; Ng'ang'aX, JW; Omar, M; Simeone-Senelle, MC; Frassati, C; Alshamali, F; Fin, B; Boland, AAt the dawn of the second millennium, the expansion of the Indian Ocean trading network aligned with the emergence of an outward-oriented community along the East African coast to create a cosmopolitan cultural and trading zone known as the Swahili Corridor. On the basis of analyses of new genome-wide genotyping data and uniparental data in 276 individuals from coastal Kenya and the Comoros islands, along with ...
