Yamnaya Culture: Genetic Origin of Indo-European Languages
Genetic research identifies the Caucasus-lower Volga population as the origin of Indo-European languages, tracing their expansion through the Yamnaya culture's horse domestication and wheeled vehicles, resulting in widespread genetic and linguistic influence across Eurasia from 3100 BCE onwards.

Ancient DNA Reveals Matrilocal Society in Pre-Roman Britain
Genetic analysis of a late Iron Age cemetery in Dorset, England (100 B.C. – 200 A.D.) shows that two-thirds of the individuals shared a single maternal lineage, suggesting a matrilocal society where women remained in their birth communities while men joined their wives' families, challenging previou...

Oldest Homo Sapiens DNA Reveals Interbreeding with Neanderthals
A study published in Nature reveals the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA, sequenced from 45,000-year-old remains in Germany, showing interbreeding with Neanderthals around 1,500 years prior and that some lineages died out.

Ancient DNA Reveals Extensive Neanderthal-Human Interbreeding
Genetic analysis of 42,000-49,000 year-old human remains from Thuringia and Czechia reveals a significant interbreeding event between Neanderthals and early modern humans approximately 47,000 years ago, lasting 7,000 years; this resulted in the presence of Neanderthal DNA in all non-African populati...

New Research Pinpoints 7,000-Year Period of Human-Neanderthal Interbreeding
Two studies using skull analysis and ancient DNA reveal human-Neanderthal interbreeding occurred between 50,500 and 43,500 years ago in Europe and Asia, lasting approximately 7,000 years, contradicting previous estimates.

Ancient Alaskan Dog Bones Push Back Human-Canine Coexistence Timeline by 2,000 Years
New research analyzing ancient canine bones in Alaska suggests humans and dogs coexisted around 10,000 BC, 2,000 years earlier than previously thought; salmon protein traces found in the bones indicate humans fed the dogs, supporting domestication.
