TL;DR: The genomes of 137 ancient and 502 modern human genomes illuminate the population history of the Eurasian steppes after the Bronze Age and document the replacement of Indo-European speakers of West Eurasian ancestry by Turkic-speaking groups of East Asian ancestry.

TL;DR: Analysis of ancient whole-genome sequences from across Inner Asia and Anatolia shows that the Botai people associated with the earliest horse husbandry derived from a hunter-gatherer population deeply diverged from the Yamnaya, and suggests distinct migrations bringing West Eurasian ancestry into South Asia before and after, but not at the time of, YamNaya culture.

TL;DR: In this paper, stable isotope analyses of fish and seals from Lake Baikal indicate a wide range of variation in isotope values, ranging from 4 to 5 per mil for deer and elk.

TL;DR: In this article, evidence for purposeful disposal of the dead and other inferences of ritual behavior in the Middle Paleolithic are examined geoarchaeologically, and logical incongruencies are identified between the published observations and the conclusion that Neandertals were being buried by their conspecifics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ the results of human osteological, stable isotope, and faunal analyses to formulate an hypothesis about discontinuity in the development of Cis-Baikal hunter-gatherers.
