Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans

Iosif Lazaridis, Nick Patterson, Alissa Mittnik +117

We sequenced genomes from a 7,000 year old early farmer from Stuttgart in Germany, an 8,000 year old hunter-gatherer from Luxembourg, and seven 8,000 year old hun…

Ancient west Eurasian ancestry in southern and eastern Africa

Joseph K. Pickrell, Nick Patterson, Po-Ru Loh +5

The history of southern Africa involved interactions between indigenous hunter-gatherers and a range of populations that moved into the region. Here we use genome-wide genetic data…

Reconstructing Roma history from genome-wide data

Priya Moorjani, Nick Patterson, Po-Ru Loh +9

The Roma people, living throughout Europe, are a diverse population linked by the Romani language and culture. Previous linguistic and genetic studies have suggested that the Roma…

Efficient moment-based inference of admixture parameters and sources of gene flow

Mark Lipson, Po-Ru Loh, Alex Levin +3

The recent explosion in available genetic data has led to significant advances in understanding the demographic histories of and relationships among human populations. It is still…

Inferring Admixture Histories of Human Populations Using Linkage Disequilibrium

Po-Ru Loh, Mark Lipson, Nick Patterson +4

Long-range migrations and the resulting admixtures between populations have been important forces shaping human genetic diversity. Most existing methods for detecting and reconstru…

The genetic prehistory of southern Africa

Joseph K. Pickrell, Nick Patterson, Chiara Barbieri +18

Southern and eastern African populations that speak non-Bantu languages with click consonants are known to harbour some of the most ancient genetic lineages in humans, but their re…
