Ancient genomes reveal structural shifts after the arrival of Steppe-related ancestry in the Italian Peninsula

Published in Current Biology, 2021

Highlights • 22 genomes from Northeastern and Central Italy dated between 3200 and 1500 BCE • Arrival of Steppe-related ancestry in the central Italian Peninsula by 1600 BCE • Close patrilineal kinship patterns within commingled Chalcolithic cave burials • Roman Imperial period had a stronger effect on phenotype shifts than the Bronze Age

Early Alpine occupation backdates westward human migration in Late Glacial Europe

Published in Current Biology, 2021

Highlights • Genetic replacement in Southern European hunter-gatherers started at least 17 ka ago • The shift follows the LGM and precedes the onset of the Bølling/Allerød event • This process is chronologically associated with major cultural transitions in Europe
