  • Genomic evidence for the Pleistocene and recent population history of Native Americans

    Open AccessMaanasa Raghavan, Matthias Steinrücken et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Genetic history of Native Americans Several theories have been put forth as to the origin and timing of when Native American ancestors entered the Americas. To clarify this controversy, Raghavan et al. examined the genomic variation among ancient and modern individuals from Asia and the Americas. There is no evidence for multiple waves of entry or recurrent gene flow with Asians in northern populations. The earliest migrations occurred no earlier…

  • Genomic Diversity and Admixture Differs for Stone-Age Scandinavian Foragers and Farmers

    Open AccessPeter Skoglund, Pontus Skoglund et al.ARTICLEScience2014

    Hunters and Farmers The Neolithic period in Europe saw the transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to farming. Previous genetic analyses have suggested that hunter-gatherers were replaced by immigrant farmers. Skoglund et al. (p. 747 , published online 24 April) sequenced one Mesolithic and nine Neolithic Swedish individuals to examine the transition from hunter-gatherers to farmers. Substantial genetic differentiation was observed between hu…

  • No Evidence from Genome-wide Data of a Khazar Origin for the Ashkenazi Jews

    Doron M Behar, Mait Metspalu et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2013

    The origin and history of the Ashkenazi Jewish population have long been of great interest, and advances in high-throughput genetic analysis have recently provided a new approach for investigating these topics. We and others have argued on the basis of genome-wide data that the Ashkenazi Jewish population derives its ancestry from a combination of sources tracing to both Europe and the Middle East. It has been claimed, however, through a reanalys…

  • Genetic Discontinuity Between Local Hunter-Gatherers and Central Europe’s First Farmers

    Open AccessBarbara Bramanti, Matthew Gwynfryn Thomas et al.ARTICLEScience2009

    Cultivating Farmers Were the ancestors of modern Europeans the local hunter-gatherers who assimilated farming practices from neighboring cultures, or were they farmers who migrated from the Near East in the early Neolithic? By analyzing ancient hunter-gatherer skeletal DNA from 2300 to 13,400 B.C.E. Bramanti et al. (p. 137 , published online 3 September) investigated the genetic relationship of European Ice Age hunter-gatherers, the first farmers…

  • An mtDNA perspective of French genetic variation

    Open AccessChrystelle Richard, Erwan Pennarun et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2007

    The mtDNA haplogroup composition of the French does not differ significantly from the surrounding European genetic landscape. At a finer grain, microgeographical differentiation can be revealed, as shown for the French Basque country and for Brittany

  • The Concepts of Richard Indreko About the Origin of the Finno-Ugric Speakers and the Population Genetics of the Extant North-East European Populations

    Open AccessKristiina Tambets, Siiri Rootsi et al.ARTICLETrames Journal of the Humanities…2001

    Archaeologists define their findings in terms of cultures and industries, linguists operate with languages, and the basic unit in biological anthropology is population. Intermarriages of these three systems have raised, and are still doing so, fascinatingly controversial speculations. In the current paper our intention is to discuss the accumulating data of population genetics in a specific context: in the light of scenarios of Richard Indreko, s…
