The Late Glacial ancestry of Europeans> Combining genetic and archaeological evidence

摘要: Chronometric attention in the Late Glacial of Western Europe is turning from dating archaeological cultures to studying how continent was re-populated at end last ice age. We present results a survey all available radiocarbon determinations (the S2AGES database) which show that when calibrated, and compared GRIP stratotype climatic events, data can be interpreted as five population events 15ka prior onset Holocene. The fine-grained climate record provides an opportunity study impact environmental factors on human dispersal process not only shaped subsequent European prehistory, but also genetic makeup modern Europeans. have implications for archaeologists molecular geneticists concerning timing, direction, speed scale processes demographic history. bear role forcing expansion contraction populations particular correlation core terrestrial records warming North Atlantic.
