“…Furthermore, we confirmed the presence of sex-biased admixture previously seen in CWC individuals from Estonia, Poland, and Germany ( 27 , 38 , 39 ) in the Fatyanovo. To that end, we first compared autosomal and chrX outgroup f 3 results (fig.…”

Genetic ancestry changes in Stone to Bronze Age transition in the East European plain

et al. 2021

The transition from Stone to Bronze Age in Central and Western Europe was a period of major population movements originating from the Ponto-Caspian Steppe. Here, we report new genome-wide sequence data from 30 individuals north of this area, from the understudied western part of present-day Russia, including 3 Stone Age hunter-gatherers (10,800 to 4250 cal BCE) and 26 Bronze Age farmers from the Corded Ware complex Fatyanovo Culture (2900 to 2050 cal BCE). We show that Eastern hunter-gatherer ancestry was present in northwestern Russia already from around 10,000 BCE. Furthermore, we see a change in ancestry with the arrival of farming—Fatyanovo Culture individuals were genetically similar to other Corded Ware cultures, carrying a mixture of Steppe and European early farmer ancestry. Thus, they likely originate from a fast migration toward the northeast from somewhere near modern-day Ukraine—the closest area where these ancestries coexisted from around 3000 BCE.

AbstractTransition from the Stone to the Bronze Age in Central and Western Europe was a period of major population movements originating from the Ponto-Caspian Steppe. Here, we report new genome-wide sequence data from 28 individuals from the territory north of this source area – from the under-studied Western part of present-day Russia, including Stone Age hunter-gatherers (10,800–4,250 cal BC) and Bronze Age farmers from the Corded Ware complex called Fatyanovo Culture (2,900–2,050 cal BC). We show that Eastern hunter-gatherer ancestry was present in Northwestern Russia already from around 10,000 BC. Furthermore, we see a clear change in ancestry with the arrival of farming – the Fatyanovo Culture individuals were genetically similar to other Corded Ware cultures, carrying a mixture of Steppe and European early farmer ancestry and thus likely originating from a fast migration towards the northeast from somewhere in the vicinity of modern-day Ukraine, which is the closest area where these ancestries coexisted from around 3,000 BC.

“…Haak et al (2015) also observed that the T allele increased in frequency only after the Yamnaya Steppe ancestry became ubiquitous in Central and Western Europe. Consistent with these findings, it was recently identified that the T allele is possessed by only one CWC individual from Sweden (Malmström et al, 2019), only one Final Neolithic individual from Switzerland (Furtwängler et al, 2020), and none of 16 CWC individuals from Poland (Witas et al, 2012;Linderholm et al, 2020), to mention a few. Using 230 ancient Eurasians, Mathieson et al (2015) found that the earliest appearance of the T allele is in a Central European Bell Beaker sample dated to between 2450 and 2140 BC, and the selective sweep dated to the last 4000 years (Burger et al, 2007;Gamba et al, 2014;Haber et al, 2016 for a review).…”

Population genomics on the origin of lactase persistence in Europe and South Asia

AbstractThe C to T mutation at rs4988235 located upstream of the lactase (LCT) gene is the primary determinant for lactase persistence (LP) that is prevalent among Europeans and South Asians. Here, we review evolutionary studies of this mutation based on ancient and present-day human genomes with the following concluding remarks: the mutation arose in the Pontic Steppe somewhere between 23,000 and 5000 years ago, emigrated into Europe and South Asia in the Bronze Age via the expansion of the Steppe ancestry, and experienced local hard sweeps with their delayed onsets occurring in the last 3600 years. We also argue that the G to A mutation at rs182549 arose earlier than 23,000 years ago, the intermediate CA haplotype ancestral to the LP-related TA haplotype is still represented by samples from Tuscans, admixed Americans and South Asians, and the great majority of G to A mutated descendants have hitchhiked since the C to T mutation was favored by local selection.
