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 …

We report here the genome sequence of an ancient human. Obtained from ∼4,000-year-old
permafrost-preserved hair, the genome represents a male individual from the first known …

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 …

The peopling of the Americas has been the subject of extensive genetic, archaeological and
linguistic research; however, central questions remain unresolved 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . One …

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, …

Haplotypes constructed from Y-chromosome markers were used to trace the origins of Native
Americans. Our sample consisted of 2,198 males from 60 global populations, including 19 …

The Saami are regarded as extreme genetic outliers among European populations. In this
study, a high-resolution phylogenetic analysis of Saami genetic heritage was undertaken in a …

A large part of Y chromosome lineages in East European and East Asian human populations
belong to haplogroup (hg) NO, which is composed of two sister clades N-M231 and O-…
