TL;DR: This study demonstrates a direct genetic link between Mediterranean and Central European early farmers and those of Greece and Anatolia, extending the European Neolithic migratory chain all the way back to southwestern Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial DNA analysis shows a Near Eastern Neolithic origin for domestic cattle and no indication of domestication of European aurochs

TL;DR: Bayesian analysis indicates that recent population growth gives a significantly better fit to the data than a constant-sized population, an observation consistent with a postglacial expansion scenario, possibly from a single European refugial population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that multiple, genetically differentiated hunter-gatherer populations adopted farming in southwestern Asia, that components of pre-Neolithic population structure were preserved as farming spread into neighboring regions, and that the Zagros region was the cradle of eastward expansion.

TL;DR: This extensive dataset allows us to assess the modern legacy of past equestrian civilizations and finds that two extinct horse lineages existed during early domestication, and the development of modern breeding impacted genetic diversity more dramatically than the previous millennia of human management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancient European dog genomes reveal continuity since the Early Neolithic.

TL;DR: The genomes of an Early and End Neolithic dog from Germany demonstrate continuity with each other and predominantly share ancestry with modern European dogs, contradicting a previously suggested Late Neolithic population replacement.
