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 …

Contemporary Jews comprise an aggregate of ethno-religious communities whose worldwide
members identify with each other through various shared religious, historical and cultural …

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 …

We analyzed 40 single nucleotide polymorphism and 19 short tandem repeat Y-chromosomal
markers in a large sample of 1,525 indigenous individuals from 14 populations in the …

The origins of the First Americans remain contentious. Although Native Americans seem to
be genetically most closely related to east Asians 1 , 2 , 3 , there is no consensus with regard …

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 …

INTRODUCTION The consensus view on the peopling of the Americas is that ancestors of
modern Native Americans entered the Americas from Siberia via the Bering Land Bridge and …

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 …

High-coverage whole-genome sequence studies have so far focused on a limited number 1
of geographically restricted populations 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , or been targeted at specific diseases, …

The phylogenetic relationships of numerous branches within the core Y-chromosome
haplogroup R-M207 support a West Asian origin of haplogroup R1b, its initial differentiation there …
