TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed 72 ancient wolf genomes spanning the last 100,000 years from Europe, Siberia and North America and found that wolf populations were highly connected throughout the Late Pleistocene, with levels of differentiation an order of magnitude lower than they are today.

TL;DR: The genetic structure of Caucasus populations highlights a role of the Caucasus Mountains as a barrier to gene flow and suggests a post-Neolithic gene flow into North Caucasus populations from the steppe.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors have shown that a single allele is a determinant of small size in dogs, and that the most dramatic shifts in body size are the result of selection over the last two centuries, as dog breeders selected and propagated phenotypic extremes within closed breeding populations.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined more than two hundred sites of Northern Kazakhstan, related to the Atbasar (7000-3000 BC) and Botai (4000-3200 BC) cultures, to investigate the early militarisation of ancient societies.
