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 …

Modern genetic data combined with appropriate statistical methods have the potential to
contribute substantially to our understanding of human history. We have developed an …

INTRODUCTION Malaria parasites cause human disease by invading and replicating inside
red blood cells. In the case of Plasmodium falciparum, this can lead to severe forms of …

The movement of people into the Americas has brought different populations into contact, and
contemporary American genomes are the product of a range of complex admixture events. …

10.7554/eLife.15266.001 Similarity between two individuals in the combination of genetic
markers along their chromosomes indicates shared ancestry and can be used to identify …

Recently, the debate on the origins of the major European Y chromosome haplogroup
R1b1b2-M269 has reignited, and opinion has moved away from Palaeolithic origins to the notion …

A major obstacle to malaria elimination is the great capacity of the parasite and vector
populations to evolve in response to malaria control interventions. The widespread use of …

Over the past few years, studies of DNA isolated from human fossils and archaeological
remains have generated considerable novel insight into the history of our species. Several …

The characterization of the structure of southern African populations has been the subject of
numerous genetic, medical, linguistic, archaeological, and anthropological investigations. …

A consensus on Bantu-speaking populations being genetically similar has emerged in the
last few years, but the demographic scenarios associated with their dispersal are still a matter …
