Human populations underwent range contractions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) which had lasting and dramatic effects on their genetic variation. The genetic ancestry of individuals associated with the post-LGM Magdalenian ...
The rise and fall of the Roman Empire was a socio-political process with enormous ramifications for human history. The Middle Danube was a crucial frontier and a crossroads for population and cultural movement. Here, we ...
Increasing numbers of ancient genomes from the Viking period retrieved across the North Sea regions are revealing a complex layer of genetic ancestries and a past cosmopolitanism that was triggered by different mobility patterns.
Analyses of 45,000-year-old bones from Europe allow scientists to pin down when modern humans interbred with Neanderthals, shedding light on the histories of populations with no present-day descendants.
With more than 10,000 ancient human genomes published in 2023, thanks to new technological developments on DNA sequencing, we are now able to investigate multiple ancestry layers associated to past migrations that have ...
The first studies to retrieve genome-wide data from two Medieval European Jewish communities from England and Germany illustrate the complex interplay of ancestry, disease, religion, culture and ethics.
Western Eurasia witnessed several large-scale human migrations during the Holocene. Here, to investigate the cross-continental effects of these migrations, we shotgun-sequenced 317 genomes—mainly from the Mesolithic and ...
The Catalan Initiative for the Earth BioGenome Project (CBP) is an EBP-affiliated project network aimed at sequencing the genome of the > 40000 eukaryotic species estimated to live in the Catalan-speaking territories ...
Human populations have been shaped by catastrophes that may have left long-lasting signatures in their genomes. One notable example is the second plague pandemic that entered Europe in ca. 1,347 CE and repeatedly returned ...
The Xerces Blue (Glaucopsyche xerces) is considered to be the first butterfly to become extinct in historical times. It was notable for its chalky lavender wings with conspicuous white spots on the ventral wings. The last ...
