Population Genetics and Signatures of Selection in Early Neolithic European Farmers. [PDF]

Mol Biol Evol, 2022
Human expansion in the course of the Neolithic transition in western Eurasia has been one of the major topics in ancient DNA research in the last 10 years. Multiple studies have shown that the spread of agriculture and animal husbandry from the Near East

Population Replacement in Early Neolithic Britain [PDF]

bioRxiv, 2018
The roles of migration, admixture and acculturation in the European transition to farming have been debated for over 100 years. Genome-wide ancient DNA studies indicate predominantly Anatolian ancestry for continental Neolithic farmers, but also variable admixture with local Mesolithic hunter-gatherers1–9.

The origins of specialized pottery and diverse alcohol fermentation techniques in Early Neolithic China. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019
Significance China is well-known for its distinctive techniques in alcohol fermentation. Here we present archaeological evidence of alcohol making based on analyses of starch granules, phytoliths, and fungi in food residues adhering to 8,000- to 7,000-y ...
