| Summary: | In 2010, the first scientific study was published on genome-wide data on ancient DNA belonging to a male of the Paleo-Eskimo culture, who lived about 4000 years ago. Since then, advances in DNA techniques have made it possible to sequence hundreds and thousands of ancient genomes. Today, 13 years later, scientists have obtained genome data from more than 10,000 ancient humans, and data accumulation continues at an exponential rate. The vast majority of the studied ancient genomes were obtained from various places in the territory of Eurasia, which is distinguished by the huge diversity of its genes, cultures, and languages. Here we give an overview of the migration, mixing and continuity of the human population across the territory of Eurasia, starting from the period of its settlement by modern people and ending with the most mobile period in the history of mankind – the Iron Age. ... |
