HIGHLIGHTS OF 2018
We published at Nature the largest ancient human dataset to date that explores a distinctive archaeological European horizon, the so-called Bell Beaker complex. We have been able to demonstrate that the spread of this complex was not mediated by migration in first instance, but later on, in a reflux from Central Europe to the periphery of the continent, was driven by population replacements. We have also been involved in a paleogenomic study on the Icelandic first settlers, published at Science, where we have shown a differential contribution of people from Scandinavian and Celtic origin.
