Ancient human movements through Asia DNA has allowed us to begin tracing the history of across globe. Narasimhan et al. identify a complex pattern migrations and admixture events in South Central by performing genetic analysis more than 500 people who lived over past 8000 years (see Perspective Schaefer Shapiro). They establish key phases population prehistory Eurasia, including spread farming peoples from Near East, with both westward eastward. The known as Yamnaya Bronze Age also moved...
The Yamnaya archaeological complex appeared around 3300BCE across the steppes north of Black and Caspian Seas, by 3000BCE reached its maximal extent from Hungary in west to Kazakhstan east. To localize ancestral geographical origins among diverse Eneolithic people that preceded them, we studied ancient DNA data 428 individuals which 299 are reported for first time, demonstrating three previously unknown genetic clines. First, a “Caucasus-Lower Volga” (CLV) Cline suffused with Caucasus...
Abstract The North Eurasian forest and forest-steppe zones have sustained millennia of sociocultural connections among northern peoples. We present genome-wide ancient DNA data for 181 individuals from this region spanning the Mesolithic, Neolithic Bronze Age. find that Early to Mid-Holocene hunter-gatherer populations across southern forest-steppes Northern Eurasia can be characterized by a continuous gradient ancestry remained stable millennia, ranging fully West in Baltic East Asian...
Abstract This paper discusses the chronology of burial grounds containing specific Seima-Turbino type bronze weaponry (spears, knives, and celts). The “transcultural” phenomenon relates to a wide distribution objects found within sites different Bronze Age cultures in Eurasia, not immediately related each other. majority represent occasional findings, they are rarely recovered from grounds. Here, we present new set 14 C dates cemeteries western Siberia, including key Asian site Rostovka,...
Abstract Transverse basilar cleft (TBC) is a very rare congenital anomaly representing coronal fissure completely or partially intersecting the basioccipital at level of pharyngeal tubercle. It usually asymptomatic but can sometimes be part syndrome. Population frequencies this are no more than 1%, with few exceptions. Two skulls TBC were found in Ayrydash 1 cemetery Altai Mountains nomads, Russia, attributed to Hunno‐Sarmatian period (2nd c. BC–5th AD). In paper, we test possibility...
Abstract A global comparison has shown that subsistence‐specific practices influenced the risk of postcranial fractures in prehistoric hunter‐gatherers and agriculturalists. Much less is known about pastoralists this regard. The aim study was to investigate prevalence patterns injuries herders Forest‐Steppe Altai, Russia. Skeletal samples associated with Andronovo Culture Middle Bronze Age, Staroaleyka Kamen Cultures Early Iron Age were studied. Long bones 595 adults examined for evidence...
Abstract The Eurasian Bronze Age (BA) has been described as a period of substantial human migrations, the emergence pastoralism, horse domestication, and development metallurgy. This study focuses on two north sites sharing Siberian genetic ancestry. One sites, Rostovka, is associated with Seima-Turbino (ST) phenomenon (~2200-1900 BCE) that characterized by elaborate metallurgical objects found throughout Northern Eurasia. profiles Rostovka individuals vary widely along forest-tundra cline...
During the Hungarian Conquest in 10th century CE, early medieval Magyars, a group of mounted warriors from Eastern Europe, settled Carpathian Basin. They likely introduced language to this new settlement area, during an event documented by both written sources and archaeological evidence. Previous archaeogenetic research identified newcomers as migrants Eurasian steppe. However, genome-wide ancient DNA putative source populations has not been available test alternative theories their precise...
