The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations in Europe and Southwest Asia, as well processes timing their differentiation, remain largely unknown. Demogenomic modeling high-quality ancient genomes reveals that early farmers Anatolia emerged from a multiphase mixing Asian population with strongly bottlenecked western hunter-gatherer after last glacial maximum. Moreover, ancestors went through period extreme drift during westward range expansion, contributing highly...
Abstract Southeast Anatolia is home to some of the earliest and most spectacular Neolithic sites associated with beginning cultivation herding in Old World. In this article we present new archaeobotanical zooarchaeological data from Gusir Höyük, an aceramic habitation dating 12th-late 11th millennia cal BP. Our results show selective use legume crop progenitors nuts during earlier part period, followed by management cereal mid-11th millennium This contrasts available other Anatolian...
New research in southeastern Anatolia at Early Neolithic sites has brought a fresh perspective on the emergence of way life southwest Asia. In addition to providing more details transition settled life, food production, and technological innovations, this recent work increased our understanding both time span geography last hunter-gatherers earliest farmers wider region. Now picture beginning is complex fragmented. This complexity necessitates multifaceted approach questions Neolithic....
Summary While early Neolithic populations in Europe were largely descended from Aegean farmers, there is also evidence of episodic gene flow local Mesolithic hunter-gatherers into communities. Exactly how and where this occurred still unknown. Here we report direct for admixture between the two groups at Danube Gorges Serbia. Analysis palaeogenomes recovered skeletons revealed that second-generation mixed individuals buried amidst whose ancestry was either exclusively or Mesolithic. The...

Abstract The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations, as well processes and timing their differentiation, remain largely unknown. Based on demogenomic modeling high-quality ancient genomes, we show that early farmers Anatolia Europe emerged from a multiphase mixing Near Eastern population with strongly bottlenecked Western hunter-gatherer after Last Glacial Maximum. Moreover, branch leading to is characterized by 2,500-year period extreme drift during its westward...
