Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans [PDF]

, 2013
We sequenced genomes from a $\sim$7,000 year old early farmer from Stuttgart in Germany, an $\sim$8,000 year old hunter-gatherer from Luxembourg, and seven $\sim$8,000 year old hunter-gatherers from southern Sweden. We analyzed these data together with other ancient genomes and 2,345 contemporary humans to show that the great majority of present-day ...

Dating the Middle Palaeolithic of Fumane Cave by the combined ESR/U‐series method

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fumane Cave, located in Northern Italy, is a major prehistoric site for understanding late Neandertal and early modern human behaviours. The cave contains a 12‐m‐thick stratigraphic sequence of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic layers, which have yielded a number of flint artefacts and faunal remains.
