Genomic Diversity and Admixture Differs for Stone-Age Scandinavian Foragers and Farmers
An international team led by researchers at Uppsala University and Stockholm University reports a breakthrough in understanding the demographic history of Stone-Age humans. The findings are published in Science, Skoglund et al. (2014). Abstract Prehistoric population structure associated with the transition to an agricultural lifestyle in Europe remains a contentious idea. Population-genomic data from 11…
