An ancient plague genome links a rapid trans-Eurasian spread about 5,300 years ago
Genomes from screened human remains place East Asia within an early plague radiation spanning more than 7,500 kilometers.
Ancient DNA, artifacts, fossils and migration interpreted alongside archaeological context.
These hubs combine the newest records with method guidance and live counts from the database.
Genomes from people, pathogens, animals and environments reconstructed alongside dates, burials and archaeological context.
Open research hub →Archaeology & Human OriginsFossils, ancient proteins and DNA used to investigate hominin relationships without forcing fragmentary evidence into a simple family tree.

Berkeley researchers developed a statistical approach to locate genomic segments contributed by ancient populations that have not been directly sampled.
Genomes from hundreds of burials revealed patrilineal communities and social change. Genetics can map biological relationships, but not every part of identity or culture.
