Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans
We sequenced the genomes of a ~7,000 year old farmer from Germany and eight ~8,000 year old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analyzed these and other ancient genomes1-4 with 2,345 contemporary humans to show that most present Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated...
