Population genomics of Bronze Age Eurasia

Morten E. Allentoft, +70 more
- 11 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the Bronze Age was a highly dynamic period involving large-scale population migrations and replacements, responsible for shaping major parts of present-day demographic structure in both Europe and Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recalibrating Equus evolution using the genome sequence of an early Middle Pleistocene horse.

Ludovic Orlando, +58 more
- 04 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: Thealyses suggest that the Equus lineage giving rise to all contemporary horses, zebras and donkeys originated 4.0–4.5 million years before present, twice the conventionally accepted time to the most recent common ancestor of the genus Equus, and supports the contention that Przewalski's horses represent the last surviving wild horse population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Species-specific responses of Late Quaternary megafauna to climate and humans

Eline D. Lorenzen, +58 more
- 17 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that climate has been a major driver of population change over the past 50,000 years, however, each species responds differently to the effects of climatic shifts, habitat redistribution and human encroachment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of a Late Pleistocene human from a Clovis burial site in western Montana

TL;DR: The genome sequence of a male infant recovered from the Anzick burial site in western Montana is sequenced and it is shown that the gene flow from the Siberian Upper Palaeolithic Mal’ta population into Native American ancestors is also shared by the AnZick-1 individual and thus happened before 12,600 years bp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prehistoric genomes reveal the genetic foundation and cost of horse domestication

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced two ancient horse genomes from Taymyr, Russia (at 7.4 and 24.3fold coverage) and compared these genomes with genomes of domesticated horses and the wild Przewalski's horse and found genetic structure within Eurasia in the Late Pleistocene.
