We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old
hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other …

Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300
individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base …

It is commonly thought that human genetic diversity in non-African populations was shaped
primarily by an out-of-Africa dispersal 50–100 thousand yr ago (kya). Here, we present a …

… The inferred date of the xOoA split time (~120 kya) is consistent with fossil and archaeological
evidence for an early expansion of H. sapiens from Africa 13,14 . Furthermore, the recently …

INTRODUCTION Most studies of human genetic variation have focused on single-nucleotide
variants (SNVs). However, copy-number variants (CNVs) affect more base pairs of DNA …

The Caucasus, inhabited by modern humans since the Early Upper Paleolithic and known
for its linguistic diversity, is considered to be important for understanding human dispersals …

… >0.95) in all haplogroups (Supplementary Table 3), lower diversities occur in south Siberian
paragroup R1a-Z93* (H=0.921), in Jewish R1a-M582 (H=0.844) and in Roma R1a-M780 (H…

The Turkic peoples represent a diverse collection of ethnic groups defined by the Turkic
languages. These groups have dispersed across a vast area, including Siberia, Northwest China…

Haplogroup G, together with J2 clades, has been associated with the spread of agriculture,
especially in the European context. However, interpretations based on simple haplogroup …

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 …
