Large-scale migration into Britain during the Middle to Late Bronze Age

Nick Patterson et al.

Summary: Present-day people from England and Wales have more ancestry derived from early European farmers, potentially due to early migration patterns and cultural exchanges. The utilization of dairy products differed qualitatively in Britain compared to continental Europe during the Iron Age.

Ancient DNA at the edge of the world: Continental immigration and the persistence of Neolithic male in Bronze

Katharina Dulias et al.

Summary: During the Neolithic period, Orkney was a major cultural center with flourishing farming and long-range contacts. New genomic evidence shows significant inward migration during the Bronze Age, but most of the male lineages originated from the local Neolithic period. Meanwhile, there is evidence of continuity in the female line of descent from the Mesolithic period to the present day.

The return of the Beaker folk? Rethinking migration and population change in British prehistory

Ian Armit et al.

Summary: Recent aDNA analyses have revealed a significant genetic turnover in the population of Britain during the centuries surrounding the arrival of the Beaker Complex, offering insights into both the sampled individuals and their ancestral populations. The proposed hypotheses of Beaker Colonisation and Steppe Drift reflect distinct conceptualizations of the relationship between archaeological objects and genetic data, providing directions for future research and raising questions for broader interpretations of population change detected through aDNA analysis.
