We analysed ancient Scandinavian genomes over 2,000 years, revealing Viking-era influx from southern Europe, British-Irish Isles, and the east Baltic. Genetic...
The plague bacterium Yersinia pestis is known as one of the most infamous and deadliest pathogens in human history. Using archaeogenetics we reconstructed 17...
Diseases such as syphilis, yaws and bejel are making a comeback. We found an unprecedented diversity of these diseases, possibly pre-dating Columbus’ American...
A large genomic study reveals ancient demographic events that accompanied the transition to agriculture and changes in metallurgic practices in France by...
We found indications that humans may have had a major impact on the extinction of cave bears in Europe during the last ice age. In our study, we found a...
We recovered DNA from two 120,000-year-old Neandertal bones discovered in Europe. All later Neandertals trace at least part of their ancestry to these early...
We sequenced the genome of a ~90,000-year-old individual and discovered that she had a Neandertal mother and a Denisovan father. This shows that people from...
Around 5,000 years ago, different Neolithic populations in Europe started to reduce in size and even disappear. The reasons for this decay are still largely...
