The third millennium BCE was a pivotal period of profound cultural and genomic transformations in Europe associated with migrations from the Pontic-Caspian steppe, which shaped the ancestry patterns in the present-day European genome. We performed a high-resolution whole-genome analysis including haplotype phasing of seven individuals of a collective burial from ~2500 cal BCE and of a Bell Beaker individual from ~2300 cal BCE in the Paris Basin in France. The collective burial revealed the arrival in real time of steppe ancestry in France. We reconstructed the genome of an unsampled individual through its relatives' genomes, enabling us to shed light on the early-stage admixture patterns, dynamics, and propagation of steppe ancestry in Late Neolithic Europe. We identified two major Neolithic/steppe-related ancestry admixture pulses around 3000/2900 BCE and 2600 BCE. These pulses suggest different population expansion dynamics with striking links to the Corded Ware and Bell Beaker cultural complexes.
公元前三千年是欧洲文化和基因组发生深刻变革的关键时期,与来自里海草原的移民有关,这些移民塑造了当今欧洲基因组的祖先模式。我们对来自法国巴黎盆地的一个大约公元前 2500 年的集体墓穴中的七个个体,以及一个大约公元前 2300 年的有角杯个体,进行了高分辨率全基因组分析,包括单倍型定相。集体墓穴揭示了草原血统在法国的实时到达。我们通过其亲属的基因组重建了一个未采样个体的基因组,使我们能够揭示新石器时代晚期欧洲草原血统早期混合模式、动态和传播。我们确定了大约公元前 3000/2900 年和公元前 2600 年两个主要的新石器时代/草原相关的祖先混合脉冲。这些脉冲表明了不同的人口扩张动态,与 Corded Ware 和有角杯文化复合体有着惊人的联系。
