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...
Abstract The genetic formation of Central and South Asian populations has been unclear because an absence ancient DNA. To address this gap, we generated genome-wide data from 362 individuals, including the first eastern Iran, Turan (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan), Bronze Age Kazakhstan, Asia. Our reveal a complex set sources that ultimately combined to form ancestry Asians today. We document southward spread Eurasian Steppe, correlating with archaeologically known expansion...
For the first time in recent decades, a large-scale study of Hisobi Mard or counting by human body, which is unique solar calendar known only this region and lacking analogues other cultures, has been conducted vast terri-tory Pamir Darvaz. As result research, extensive body materials collected allowing comparison knowledge modern informants with data Soviet ethnographers 70–90 years ago. It found that about not changed decades. Thus, despite natural changes society caused political, social...
It has been proposed that the Δ32 mutation in chemokine receptor gene, inducing resistance to HIV-1 and, probably, other virus infections, undergone selection historical times. The frequency of this mutant allele changed rapidly both time (during last two millennia) and space (across Eurasia). We compiled a global database on frequencies 300 populations. Nearly 10 percent them are our data 35 East European populations analyzed here for first time. A detailed map distribution was constructed...

Unique mosaic composition of the end third millenium BC from “Royal Necropolis” Gonur Depe is describing. Some walls underground “hypogea” and so-called “ostensories” as well small originally wooden boxes found in them were decorated by figurative mosaics. These mosaics combine two techniques – painting inlays (tesserae), which made specially prepared minerals. They also presented earliest example using technique cutting edges tesserae. Analogies images between Mari palace Syria are underlined.

With the aid of data frequencies genetically determined blood group systems, authors have tried to show basic ethno-genetic directional patterns in Southern Moldavia and Dniester-Carpathian-Danubian region its entirety.

The analysis gene demonstrates genetic homogeneity total population. Statistically reliable differentiation is observed only for...
Помимо хорошо известных лунных и лунно-солнечных календарей, которые широко распространены на Востоке, теоретически возможны лунно-звездные календари, длительность месяца в которых определяется посредством соединения Луны с какой-нибудь звездой, расположенной вблизи плоскости эклиптики. Один из подобных описанный Б. А. Куфтиным (1916), основывался соединениях Плеяд. В представленной статье анализируются полевые материалы, полученные результате работ 2023 г. Нарынском районе Кыргызстана. Они...
The term “folk astronomical knowledge” refers to a set of practical knowledge that allows person navigate in space and time. An important point is the possibility total assessment this not only at level an individual, but also separate settlement or region. authors developed method for determining indicator characterizing folk knowledge, based on field materials collected Republic Tajikistan 2019–2023. was verified large sample (177 people were surveyed). average values “coefficient (k) made...

С целью изучения народных календарно-астрономических знаний жителей Республики Таджикистан летом 2022 г. была проведена этнографическая экспедиция по долине реки Зеравшан. Было опрошено 39 информаторов-таджиков из 23 кишлаков в Горно-Матчинском, Айнинском и Педжикентском районах, территория которых находится р. Собранный материал показал достаточно высокий уровень традиционных астрономических населения. В Пенджикентском районе, где имеются компактные поселения этнических узбеков, знания...

Abstract The article describes tumour‐like lesions in a Bronze Age skeleton from Southern Turkmenistan. combination of pathological manifestations observed the does not permit making exact conclusions. Based on skeletal lesions, malignant bone tumour (chondrosarcoma or parosteal osteosarcoma) seems to be most feasible diagnosis. If this diagnosis is correct, represents one earliest cases primary tumours known date.
