Estimating genetic kin relationships in prehistoric populations.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Monroy Kuhn Jose Manuel, Jakobsson Mattias, Günther Torsten

Abstract excerpt

Archaeogenomic research has proven to be a valuable tool to trace migrations of historic and prehistoric individuals and groups, whereas relationships within a group or burial site have not been investigated to a large extent. Knowing the genetic kinship of historic and prehistoric individuals would give important insights into social structures of ancient and historic cultures. Most archaeogenetic research...
