We generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000–3,000 years
ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost 400,000 polymorphisms. …

… We varied the number of ancestral populations between K = 2 and K = 20, and used cross-validation
(–cv.) to identify the value of K = 17 to plot in Extended Data Fig. 2f. …

From around 2750 to 2500 bc, Bell Beaker pottery became widespread across western and
central Europe, before it disappeared between 2200 and 1800 bc. The forces that propelled …

… highest likelihood replicate for each value of K. We show the K = 11 results for the 281 ancient
samples in Extended Data Fig. 2a (this is the lowest K for which components maximized in …

Farming was first introduced to Europe in the mid-seventh millennium bc, and was associated
with migrants from Anatolia who settled in the southeast before spreading throughout …

RATIONALE To elucidate the extent to which the major cultural transformations of farming,
pastoralism, and shifts in the distribution of languages in Eurasia were accompanied by …

The deep population history of East Asia remains poorly understood owing to a lack of
ancient DNA data and sparse sampling of present-day people 1 , 2 . Here we report genome-wide …

We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the
largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect of …

Present-day people from England and Wales have more ancestry derived from early European
farmers (EEF) than did people of the Early Bronze Age 1. To understand this, here we …

Ancient DNA studies have established that Neolithic European populations were descended
from Anatolian migrants 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 who received a limited amount of admixture …
