Ancient Wolf Genome Reveals an Early Divergence of Domestic Dog Ancestors and Admixture into High-Latitude Breeds
Pontus Skoglund,Pontus Skoglund,Pontus Skoglund,Erik Ersmark,Erik Ersmark,Eleftheria Palkopoulou,Eleftheria Palkopoulou,Love Dalén +7 more
TL;DR: The directly dated ancient wolf genome is used to recalibrate the molecular timescale of wolves and dogs and finds that the mutation rate is substantially slower than assumed by most previous studies, suggesting that the ancestors of dogs were separated from present-day wolves before the Last Glacial Maximum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genomes reveal signatures of demographic and genetic declines in the woolly mammoth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present high-quality complete genome sequences from two woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) and conclude that the population on Wrangel Island, which was the last surviving woolly mammoth population, was subject to reduced genetic diversity shortly before it became extinct.

TL;DR: It is shown that these individuals emerged from the same ancestral gene pool as early farmers in other parts of Europe, suggesting that migration was the dominant mode of transferring farming practices throughout western Eurasia.

TL;DR: Genome-wide ancient DNA from 49 individuals forming four parallel time transects in Belize, Brazil, the Central Andes, and the Southern Cone suggests a population replacement that began at least 9,000 years ago and was followed by substantial population continuity in multiple regions.

TL;DR: The finding that the ancient individuals had little to no Papuan ancestry implies that later human population movements spread Papuan Ancestry through the South Pacific after the first peopling of the islands.
