A new article from the lab appeared in Current Biology. Omrak et al. 2016. Genomic Evidence Establishes Anatolia as the Source of the European Neolithic Gene Pool. Report. Current Biology. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2015.12.019
Highlights
- •Kum6 shows a strong population continuity with present-day Sardinia
