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.

TL;DR: The spatiotemporal spread of LP is investigated through an analysis of 14 warriors from the Tollense Bronze Age battlefield in northern Germany and selection was ongoing in various parts of Europe over the last 3,000 years, suggesting that the surge of rs4988235 in Central and Northern Europe was unlikely caused by Steppe expansions.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced six Early to Middle BA whole genomes, along with 11 mitochondrial genomes, sampled from the three Bronze Age (BA) cultures of the Aegean Sea and found that the early BA genomes are homogeneous and derive most of their ancestry from Neolithic Aegeans, contrary to earlier hypotheses that the Neolithic-EBA cultural transition was due to massive population turnover.

TL;DR: Demogenomic modeling of high-quality ancient genomes reveals that the early farmers of Anatolia and Europe emerged from a multiphase mixing of a Southwest Asian population with a strongly bottlenecked western hunter-gatherer population after the last glacial maximum as mentioned in this paper .
