    Origins and genetic legacy of Neolithic farmers and hunter-gatherers in Europe (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 2012-04-28
    Description: The farming way of life originated in the Near East some 11,000 years ago and had reached most of the European continent 5000 years later. However, the impact of the agricultural revolution on demography and patterns of genomic variation in Europe remains unknown. We obtained 249 million base pairs of genomic DNA from ~5000-year-old remains of three hunter-gatherers and one farmer excavated in Scandinavia and find that the farmer is genetically most similar to extant southern Europeans, contrasting sharply to the hunter-gatherers, whose distinct genetic signature is most similar to that of extant northern Europeans. Our results suggest that migration from southern Europe catalyzed the spread of agriculture and that admixture in the wake of this expansion eventually shaped the genomic landscape of modern-day Europe.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Skoglund, Pontus -- Malmstrom, Helena -- Raghavan, Maanasa -- Stora, Jan -- Hall, Per -- Willerslev, Eske -- Gilbert, M Thomas P -- Gotherstrom, Anders -- Jakobsson, Mattias -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Apr 27;336(6080):466-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1216304.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. pontus.skoglund@ebc.uu.se〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22539720" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genomic diversity and admixture differs for Stone-Age Scandinavian foragers and farmers (2014)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-04-26
    Description: Prehistoric population structure associated with the transition to an agricultural lifestyle in Europe remains a contentious idea. Population-genomic data from 11 Scandinavian Stone Age human remains suggest that hunter-gatherers had lower genetic diversity than that of farmers. Despite their close geographical proximity, the genetic differentiation between the two Stone Age groups was greater than that observed among extant European populations. Additionally, the Scandinavian Neolithic farmers exhibited a greater degree of hunter-gatherer-related admixture than that of the Tyrolean Iceman, who also originated from a farming context. In contrast, Scandinavian hunter-gatherers displayed no significant evidence of introgression from farmers. Our findings suggest that Stone Age foraging groups were historically in low numbers, likely owing to oscillating living conditions or restricted carrying capacity, and that they were partially incorporated into expanding farming groups.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Skoglund, Pontus -- Malmstrom, Helena -- Omrak, Ayca -- Raghavan, Maanasa -- Valdiosera, Cristina -- Gunther, Torsten -- Hall, Per -- Tambets, Kristiina -- Parik, Juri -- Sjogren, Karl-Goran -- Apel, Jan -- Willerslev, Eske -- Stora, Jan -- Gotherstrom, Anders -- Jakobsson, Mattias -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 May 16;344(6185):747-50. doi: 10.1126/science.1253448.

    Ancient genomes link early farmers to Basques [Anthropology] (2015)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-09-23
    Description: The consequences of the Neolithic transition in Europe—one of the most important cultural changes in human prehistory—is a subject of great interest. However, its effect on prehistoric and modern-day people in Iberia, the westernmost frontier of the European continent, remains unresolved. We present, to our knowledge, the first genome-wide sequence...

    Ancient genomes suggest the eastern Pontic-Caspian steppe as the source of western Iron Age nomads (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-10-04
    Description: For millennia, the Pontic-Caspian steppe was a connector between the Eurasian steppe and Europe. In this scene, multidirectional and sequential movements of different populations may have occurred, including those of the Eurasian steppe nomads. We sequenced 35 genomes (low to medium coverage) of Bronze Age individuals (Srubnaya-Alakulskaya) and Iron Age nomads (Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians) that represent four distinct cultural entities corresponding to the chronological sequence of cultural complexes in the region. Our results suggest that, despite genetic links among these peoples, no group can be considered a direct ancestor of the subsequent group. The nomadic populations were heterogeneous and carried genetic affinities with populations from several other regions including the Far East and the southern Urals. We found evidence of a stable shared genetic signature, making the eastern Pontic-Caspian steppe a likely source of western nomadic groups.
