L'alimentation des premiers agropasteurs du Néolithique
Le Néolithique, épisode majeur de l’histoire humaine est marqué par la domestication des espèces végétales et animales, les débuts de l’agriculture et une croissance démographique significative. Le projet ANR WomenSOFar (ANR-21-CE03-0008) vise à identifier le statut des femmes à travers la façon dont elles se déplacent, se nourrissent, travaillent et prennent soin des jeunes. Dans le cadre de ce projet de recherche, une approche novatrice et expl…

Inférences sur les réseaux régionaux à partir d'arbres génétiques locaux, l'exemple du site néolithique de Gurgy 'les Noisats
La reconstitution de la parenté génétique dans des contextes archéologiques a longtemps été impossible, mais grâce à l’optimisation récente des méthodes d’analyse de l’ADN ancien, on peut désormais reconstituer de manière fiable des généalogies génétiques, parfois importantes. L’analyse génomique approfondie du site français du Néolithique moyen de Gurgy 'les Noisats', dans le Bassin parisien, nous a permis de reconstruire deux arbres conséquents…
The Indo-European Puzzle Revisited
This book examines the impact of ancient DNA research and scientific evidence on our understanding of the emergence of Indo-European languages in prehistory. Offering cutting-edge contributions from an international team of scholars, it considers the driving forces behind the Indo-European migrations during the 3rd and 2nd millenia BC. The volume explores the rise of the world's first pastoral nomads the Yamnaya Culture in the Russian Pontic step…
Between Valleys and Mountains. The Dzedzvebi Plateau as an Intermediate Settlement Site of Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age Communities in the Lesser Caucasus
The question of how societies have appropriated the resource-rich montane landscapes of the South Caucasus since the 5th millennium BCE and in which temporal rhythms this development took place is linked with regional mobility as well as the social and economic negotiation of the participating communities. Intermontane settle- ment areas like the large Dzedzvebi Plateau near Kazreti in south- east Georgia probably played an important role as inte…
Socio-cultural practices may have affected sex differences in stature in Early Neolithic Europe
Interactions biologiques entre chasseurs-cueilleurs et fermiers néolithiques
Le développement de l’agriculture en Europe occidentale s’est accompagné de changements démographiques majeurs, modelant la structure génétique des groupes humains. La complexité des interactions biologiques entre fermiers nouvellement installés et chasseurs-cueilleurs locaux est aujourd’hui bien documentée à l’échelle macro-régionale. Les études plus régionales représentent désormais une opportunité unique de documenter la variabilité géographiq…
Explorer les structures sociales néolithiques grâce à la structure génétique de deux grandes familles à Gurgy "les Noisats", France
L’exploration des structures de parenté dans les sociétés du passé a été au centre des études en archéologie et en anthropologie. Cependant, la reconstruction des liens de parenté biologique en contextes archéologiques a rarement été accessible. Avec le développement des méthodes d’analyses en ADN ancien, il est désormais possible d’obtenir des données génomiques pour de nombreux individus d’un même groupe, même dans le cas d’une faible conservat…
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
Emblems and spaces of power during the Argaric Bronze Age at La Almoloya, Murcia
The recent discovery of an exceptionally rich grave at La Almoloya in south-eastern Spain illuminates the political context of Early Bronze Age El Argar society. The quantity, variety and opulence of the grave goods emphasise the technological, economic and social dimensions of this unique culture. The assemblage includes politically and ideologically emblematic objects, among which a silver diadem stands out. Of equally exceptional character is …
Kinship-based social inequality in Bronze Age Europe
Ancient DNA informs on past cultures Archaeology has used analysis of the artifacts and remains of people to uncover their past behaviors and to infer their cultural practices. However, establishing genetic relationships has only recently become possible. Mittnik et al. examined the kinship and inheritance of the remains of people from the German Lech River Valley over a time period spanning the Late Neolithic Corded Ware Culture, the Bell Beaker…
The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years
Genomics of the Iberian Peninsula Ancient DNA studies have begun to help us understand the genetic history and movements of people across the globe. Focusing on the Iberian Peninsula, Olalde et al. report genome-wide data from 271 ancient individuals from Iberia (see the Perspective by Vander Linden). The findings provide a comprehensive genetic time transect of the region. Linguistics analysis and genetic analysis of archaeological human remains…

Reconstructing the Deep Population History of Central and South America
We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 49 individuals forming four parallel time transects in Belize, Brazil, the Central Andes, and the Southern Cone, each dating to at least ∼9,000 years ago. The common ancestral population radiated rapidly from just one of the two early branches that contributed to Native Americans today. We document two previously unappreciated streams of gene flow between North and South America. One affected the Central And…
Parallel palaeogenomic transects reveal complex genetic history of early European farmers
Neanderthal behaviour, diet, and disease inferred from ancient DNA in dental calculus
From the field to the laboratory
High-Throughput DNA Sequencing (HTS) technologies have changed the way in which we detect and assess DNA contamination in ancient DNA studies. Researchers use computational methods to mine the large quantity of sequencing data to detect characteristic patterns of DNA damage, and to evaluate the authenticity of the results. We argue that unless computational methods can confidently separate authentic ancient DNA sequences from contaminating DNA th…

El ADN antiguo y la historia del poblamiento temprano del oeste de Sudamérica
Aún cuando el análisis de ADN de huesos arqueológicos tiene algunas grandes limitaciones, constituye la manera más directa de investigar eventos prehistóricos de dinámica poblacional. La contextualización interdisciplinaria de los datos genéticos con los registros arqueológico y paleoecológico permite reconstruir las historias poblacionales pasadas y la demografía de sociedades antiguas. Por otro lado, el número de estudios paleogenéticos en Suda…
ABO genotyping by PCR-RFLP and cloning and sequencing
A refined PCR-RFLP based method was established to genotype ABO blood groups. The main objective of this study was to make the techniques also suitable for working with degraded DNA. Specific primer design was carried out to choose fragments shorter than 200 bp as necessary in forensic and archaeological applications. Four fragments of exon 6 and 7 of the ABO gene were amplified and digested by in total 7 restriction endonucleases. Particular att…
Ancient DNA from the First European Farmers in 7500-Year-Old Neolithic Sites
The ancestry of modern Europeans is a subject of debate among geneticists, archaeologists, and anthropologists. A crucial question is the extent to which Europeans are descended from the first European farmers in the Neolithic Age 7500 years ago or from Paleolithic hunter-gatherers who were present in Europe since 40,000 years ago. Here we present an analysis of ancient DNA from early European farmers. We successfully extracted and sequenced inta…
Ancient DNA, Strontium isotopes, and osteological analyses shed light on social and kinship organization of the Later Stone Age
In 2005 four outstanding multiple burials were discovered near Eulau, Germany. The 4,600-year-old graves contained groups of adults and children buried facing each other. Skeletal and artifactual evidence and the simultaneous interment of the individuals suggest the supposed families fell victim to a violent event. In a multidisciplinary approach, archaeological, anthropological, geochemical (radiogenic isotopes), and molecular genetic (ancient D…
Genetic Discontinuity Between Local Hunter-Gatherers and Central Europe’s First Farmers
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…

Ancient DNA from European Early Neolithic Farmers Reveals Their Near Eastern Affinities
In Europe, the Neolithic transition (8,000-4,000 B.C.) from hunting and gathering to agricultural communities was one of the most important demographic events since the initial peopling of Europe by anatomically modern humans in the Upper Paleolithic (40,000 B.C.). However, the nature and speed of this transition is a matter of continuing scientific debate in archaeology, anthropology, and human population genetics. To date, inferences about the …

Ancient DNA Reveals Key Stages in the Formation of Central European Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity
The Origins of Europeans To investigate the genetic origins of modern Europeans, Brandt et al. (p. 257 ) examined ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and were able to identify genetic differences in 364 Central Europeans spanning the early Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age. Observed changes in mitochondrial haplotypes corresponded with hypothesized human migration across Eurasia and revealed the complexity of the demographic changes and evidence of…
