TL;DR: Analysis of 34 newly recovered ancient genomes from northeastern Siberia reveal at least three major migration events in the late Pleistocene population history of the region, including an initial peopling by a previously unknown Palaeolithic population of ‘Ancient North Siberians’ and a Holocene migration of other East Asian-related peoples, which generated the mosaic genetic make-up of contemporary peoples.

TL;DR: Examination of food residues in pottery reveals a transition at ca 2500 BC from the exploitation of aquatic organisms to processing of ruminant products, specifically milk, confirming Neolithic farming was practiced at high latitudes.

TL;DR: 34 ancient genome sequences are analyzed, revealing that the population history of northeastern Siberia was highly dynamic throughout the Late Pleistocene and Holocene, with earlier, once widespread populations being replaced by distinct peoples.

TL;DR: In this paper, the roles of birds in mortuary practices and in the ideology of Stone Age northern Europe were investigated with osteological methods, and the role of waterbirds and waterbirds' wings was discussed from the perspective of the cosmology of historical hunter-gatherer groups in modern Russia.
