TL;DR: The sequence at Uçağizli Cave documents the technological transition between Initial Upper Paleolithic and Ahmarian, with a high degree of continuity in foraging and technological activities, and documents major shifts in occupational intensity and mobility.

TL;DR: Lazaridis et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, contextualizing its Chalcolithic period and Bronze Age (about 5000 to 1000 BCE), when extensive gene flow entangled it with the Eurasian steppe.

TL;DR: Lazaridis et al. as mentioned in this paper examined more than 700 ancient genomes from across this region, the Southern Arc, spanning 11,000 years, from the earliest farming cultures to post-Medieval times.

TL;DR: Lazaridis et al. as discussed by the authors presented the first ancient DNA data from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of Mesopotamia (Southeastern Turkey and Northern Iraq), Cyprus, and the Northwestern Zagros, along with the first data from Neolithic Armenia, showing that these and neighboring populations were formed through admixture of pre-Neolithic sources related to Anatolian, Caucasus, and Levantine hunter-gatherers.

TL;DR: This paper focuses on one of the ancient brain drilling surgical methods that was discovered on a skull at Acemhoyuk, Aksaray-Turkey the site corresponds directly to the Old Assyrian Colony Period in Central Anatolia.
