Genetic data from prehistoric human remains can reveal genetic relatedness, and when combined with archaeological information, shed light on social factors shaping ancient communities. However, accessing such information on ancient hunter-gatherer societies has been challenging owing to the scarcity of temporally overlapping multi-burial sites. Here, we focused on the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) cemetery from Ajvide (Gotland, Sweden), one of Stone Age Europe's largest and best-preserved hunter-gatherer burial grounds of the European Stone Age. We generated new genomic data from 10 individuals, primarily from co-burial contexts, and combined these with published genomes from 24 individuals across four PWC sites on Gotland. The genetic analyses revealed dual ancestry of the Gotlandic PWC, showing approximately 80% ancestry associated with earlier Mesolithic hunter-gatherer groups and 20% with farmer groups. We also identified close genetic relatives between the different studied PWC sites on Gotland, indicating mixing of the groups. All individuals buried together were closely related to one another, including first-, second- and third-degree relatives, and showed significantly elevated genetic relatedness. This demonstrates that genetic relatedness played a defining role in the co-burial ritual and extended beyond first-degree relatives.", "doi": "10.1098/rspb.2025.0813", "pmid": "41705298", "labels": {"NGI Uppsala (SNP&SEQ Technology Platform)": "Service", "NGI Short read": "Service", "National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "480372"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-06-01T08:42:52.357Z", "modified": "2026-06-01T08:42:52.890Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "ffc3972ae9a14e7582201dd0cd2bba22", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/ffc3972ae9a14e7582201dd0cd2bba22.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/ffc3972ae9a14e7582201dd0cd2bba22"}}, "title": "Genetiska sl\u00e4ktskapsanalyser och individerna fr\u00e5n Riddarholmskyrkan (Magnus Ladul\u00e5s grav: om s\u00f6kandet i Riddarholmskyrkan)", "authors": [{"family": "Malmstr\u00f6m", "given": "Helena", "initials": "H", "orcid": "0000-0002-6456-8055", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/3b3397b2842142bea34c222f6683c0eb.json"}}], "type": null, "published": "2026-01-21", "journal": {"title": null, "issn": "ISBN 9789170313936", "issn-l": null, "volume": null, "issue": null, "pages": null}, "abstract": null, "doi": null, "pmid": null, "labels": {"Ancient DNA": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2026-01-20T09:33:18.868Z", "modified": "2026-01-25T08:37:46.888Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "b8ca2a2dba2049ec8de7192c162898c4", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/b8ca2a2dba2049ec8de7192c162898c4.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/b8ca2a2dba2049ec8de7192c162898c4"}}, "title": "Homo sapiens-specific evolution unveiled by ancient southern African genomes.", "authors": [{"family": "Jakobsson", "given": "Mattias", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0001-7840-7853", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/8a4abe0fcb20492d9ec849c9fbf58a71.json"}}, {"family": "Bernhardsson", "given": "Carolina", "initials": "C", "orcid": "0000-0002-3258-275X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/b8fce67de4e14fa68c0edadfec0de085.json"}}, {"family": "McKenna", "given": "James", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Hollfelder", "given": "Nina", "initials": "N", "orcid": "0000-0002-1567-8450", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/0f81a63833c146999d73fa38f588ea06.json"}}, {"family": "Vicente", "given": "Mario", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Edlund", "given": "Hanna", "initials": "H"}, {"family": "Coutinho", "given": "Alexandra", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Sj\u00f6din", "given": "Per", "initials": "P"}, {"family": "Brink", "given": "James", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Zipfel", "given": "Bernhard", "initials": "B", "orcid": "0000-0002-4251-884X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/74d1041d932a49c9bc2baca44273d4a4.json"}}, {"family": "Malmstr\u00f6m", "given": "Helena", "initials": "H", "orcid": "0000-0002-6456-8055", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/3b3397b2842142bea34c222f6683c0eb.json"}}, {"family": "Lombard", "given": "Marlize", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0002-0675-0414", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/e04e97bbc9914f358864988174b9b58d.json"}}, {"family": "Schlebusch", "given": "Carina M", "initials": "CM", "orcid": "0000-0002-8160-9621", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/682f10853c1145649b8c76680605dd9b.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2025-12-03", "journal": {"title": "Nature", "issn": "1476-4687", "issn-l": "0028-0836", "volume": null, "issue": null, "pages": null}, "abstract": "Homo sapiens evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago in Africa, later spreading across the globe1, but the early evolutionary process is debated2-6.

Homo sapiens-specific variants at amino acid-altering sites fixed for all humans-which are likely to have evolved rapidly on the Homo sapiens branch-were enriched for genes associated with kidney function. Some Homo sapiens-specific variants fixed in ancient southern Africans-which are likely to have adapted rapidly on the southern African branch-were enriched for genes associated with protection against ultraviolet light. The ancient southern Africans show little spatiotemporal stratification for 9,000 years, consistent with a large, stable Holocene population transcending archaeological phases. While southern Africa served as a long-standing geographical refugium, there is outward gene flow over 8,000 years ago; however, inward gene flow manifests only after around 1,400 years ago.

This study investigates the genetic makeup of SAC individuals, utilizing autosomal genotypes, mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome data. We analyse new genotype data for 125 SAC individuals from seven locations.\n\nOur analysis, based on a dataset comprising 356 SAC individuals from 22 geographic locations, revealed significant regional variations in ancestry. Khoe-San ancestry predominates in 14 locations, highlighting its lasting influence. Inland regions exhibit higher proportions of Khoe-San ancestry, eastern regions show more Bantu-speaker/West African ancestry, and western/coastal areas, particularly around Cape Town, display increased Asian ancestry. Additionally, sex-biased admixture ratios show male-biased admixture from East Africans and Europeans, and female-biased admixture from Khoe-San populations, which is supported by mitochondrial and Y-chromosome data.\n\nThe observed patterns of significant regional variation in ancestry reflect historical migrations and settlement patterns.

We found that Mesolithic European populations formed a geographically widespread isolation-by-distance zone ranging from Central Europe to Siberia, which was already established 10,000 years ago. We found contrasting patterns of population continuity during the Neolithic transition: people around the lower Dnipro Valley region, Ukraine, showed continuity over 4000 years, from the Mesolithic to the end of the Neolithic, in contrast to almost all other parts of Europe where population turnover drove this cultural change, including vast areas of Central Europe and around the Danube River.", "doi": "10.1038/s42003-023-05131-3", "pmid": "37558731", "labels": {"NGI Short read": "Service", "NGI Uppsala (SNP&SEQ Technology Platform)": "Service", "National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "Bioinformatics Support for Computational Resources": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC10412644"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s42003-023-05131-3"}], "notes": [], "created": "2023-08-14T06:19:02.423Z", "modified": "2024-01-16T13:48:32.510Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "cac2b2a5dca44746b91a68788dce04df", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/cac2b2a5dca44746b91a68788dce04df.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/cac2b2a5dca44746b91a68788dce04df"}}, "title": "Patrilocality and hunter-gatherer-related ancestry of populations in East-Central Europe during the Middle Bronze Age.", "authors": [{"family": "Chyle\u0144ski", "given": "Maciej", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0003-1347-1904", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/e211127b50ca4ed8ab6b2ae9bede0102.json"}}, {"family": "Makarowicz", "given": "Przemys\u0142aw", "initials": "P", "orcid": "0000-0003-4452-7704", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/035ae0d32cf649f6a82c6e4df78cc122.json"}}, {"family": "Juras", "given": "Anna", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Krzewi\u0144ska", "given": "Maja", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0002-6702-8724", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/c483febf380c4d9db683e5a73ba89816.json"}}, {"family": "Pospieszny", "given": "\u0141ukasz", "initials": "\u0141"}, {"family": "Ehler", "given": "Edvard", "initials": "E", "orcid": "0000-0003-1774-0091", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/6d5e30a4e46e47d8b800d5242e23d7de.json"}}, {"family": "Breszka", "given": "Agnieszka", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "G\u00f3rski", "given": "Jacek", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Taras", "given": "Halina", "initials": "H"}, {"family": "Szczepanek", "given": "Anita", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Pola\u0144ska", "given": "Marta", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "W\u0142odarczak", "given": "Piotr", "initials": "P", "orcid": "0000-0003-0359-7386", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/a4581e4213be44969693180b26b3f263.json"}}, {"family": "Lasota-Ku\u015b", "given": "Anna", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-0603-846X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/8716e836f3894e28bee1bcacffb7245a.json"}}, {"family": "W\u00f3jcik", "given": "Irena", "initials": "I"}, {"family": "Romaniszyn", "given": "Jan", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Szmyt", "given": "Marzena", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Ko\u015bko", "given": "Aleksander", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Ignaczak", "given": "Marcin", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Sadowski", "given": "Sylwester", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Matoga", "given": "Andrzej", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Grossman", "given": "Anna", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Ilchyshyn", "given": "Vasyl", "initials": "V"}, {"family": "Yahodinska", "given": "Maryna O", "initials": "MO"}, {"family": "Roma\u0144ska", "given": "Adriana", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Tunia", "given": "Krzysztof", "initials": "K"}, {"family": "Przyby\u0142a", "given": "Marcin", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Grygiel", "given": "Ryszard", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Szostek", "given": "Krzysztof", "initials": "K"}, {"family": "Dabert", "given": "Miroslawa", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "G\u00f6therstr\u00f6m", "given": "Anders", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Jakobsson", "given": "Mattias", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0001-7840-7853", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/8a4abe0fcb20492d9ec849c9fbf58a71.json"}}, {"family": "Malmstr\u00f6m", "given": "Helena", "initials": "H", "orcid": "0000-0002-6456-8055", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/3b3397b2842142bea34c222f6683c0eb.json"}}], "type": "historical article", "published": "2023-08-01", "journal": {"title": "Nat Commun", "issn": "2041-1723", "issn-l": "2041-1723", "volume": "14", "issue": "1", "pages": "4395"}, "abstract": "The demographic history of East-Central Europe after the Neolithic period remains poorly explored, despite this region being on the confluence of various ecological zones and cultural entities.
