Abstract The origin and early dispersal of speakers Transeurasian languages—that is, Japanese, Korean, Tungusic, Mongolic Turkic—is among the most disputed issues Eurasian population history 1–3 . A key problem is relationship between linguistic dispersals, agricultural expansions movements 4,5 Here we address this question by ‘triangulating’ genetics, archaeology linguistics in a unified perspective. We report wide-ranging datasets from these disciplines, including comprehensive...
The emerging Bronze Age (BA) of southeastern Iberia saw marked social changes. Late Copper (CA) settlements were abandoned in favor hilltop sites, and collective graves largely replaced by single or double burials with often distinctive grave goods indirectly reflecting a hierarchical organization, as exemplified the BA El Argar group. We explored this transition from genomic viewpoint tripling amount data available for period. Concomitant rise starting ~2200 cal BCE, we observe complete...

A key problem relationship between linguistic dispersals, agricultural expansions movements.
