A Dynamic 6,000-Year Genetic History of Eurasia’s Eastern Steppe
Summary
The Eastern Eurasian Steppe was home to historic empires of nomadic pastoralists, including the Xiongnu and the Mongols. However, little is known about the region’s population history. Here, we reveal its dynamic genetic history by analyzing new genome-wide data fo
