We present the high-quality genome sequence of a ∼45,000-year-old modern human male
from Siberia. This individual derives from a population that lived before—or simultaneously …

Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

Using DNA extracted from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia, we have
sequenced the genome of an archaic hominin to about 1.9-fold coverage. This individual …

Modern humans arrived in Europe ~45,000 years ago, but little is known about their genetic
composition before the start of farming ~8,500 years ago. Here we analyse genome-wide …

Human genetic history in East Asia is poorly understood. To clarify population relationships,
we obtained genome-wide data from 26 ancient individuals from northern and southern East …

Recent advancements in DNA sequencing technologies and laboratory preparation protocols
have rapidly expanded the scope of ancient DNA research over the past decade, both …

Neanderthals are thought to have disappeared in Europe approximately 39,000–41,000 years
ago but they have contributed 1–3% of the DNA of present-day people in Eurasia 1 . Here …

We present a DNA library preparation method that has allowed us to reconstruct a high-coverage
(30×) genome sequence of a Denisovan, an extinct relative of Neandertals. The quality …

We are a group of archaeologists, anthropologists, curators and geneticists representing
diverse global communities and 31 countries. All of us met in a virtual workshop dedicated to …

Hominins with morphology similar to present-day humans appear in the fossil record across
Eurasia between 40,000 and 50,000 y ago. The genetic relationships between these early …
