A western route of prehistoric human migration from Africa into the Iberian Pen...

A.; Diez Del Molino, D.; Schroeder, H.; Barroso-Ruiz, C.; Bermudez, F.Being at the Western fringe of Europe, Iberia had a peculiar prehistory and a complex pattern of Neolithization. A few studies, all based on modern popu- lations, reported the presence of DNA of likely African origin in this region, generally concluding it was the result of recent gene flow, probably during the Islamic period. Here, we provide evidence of much older gene flow from Africa to Iberia by sequencing...
A genomic Neolithic time transect of hunter-farmer admixture in central Poland
Fernandes, D. M.; Strapagiel, D.; Borówka, P.; Marciniak, B.; Żądzińska, E.; Sirak, K.; Siska, V.; Grygiel, R.; Carlsson, J.; Manica, A.; Lorkiewicz, W.Ancient DNA genome-wide analyses of Neolithic individuals from central and southern Europe indicate an overall population turnover pattern in which migrating farmers from Anatolia and the Near East largely replaced autochthonous Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. However, the genetic history of the Neolithic transition in areas lying north of the European Neolithic core region involved different levels of admixture w...
