SummaryThe 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 for 214 ancient individuals spanning 6,000 years. We identify a pastoralist expansion into Mongolia ca. 3000 BCE, and by the Late Bronze Age, Mongolian populations were biogeographically structured into three distinct groups, all practicing dairy pastoralism regardless of ancestry. The Xiongnu emerged from the mixing of these populations and those from surrounding regions. By comparison, the Mongols exhibit much higher Eastern Eurasian ancestry, resembling present-day Mongolic-speaking populations. Our results illuminate the complex interplay between genetic, sociopolitical, and cultural changes on the Eastern Steppe.

Recent ancient DNA studies have revealed that the genetic history of modern Europeans was shaped by a series of migration and admixture events between deeply diverged groups. While these events are well described in Central and Southern Europe, genetic evidence from Northern Europe surrounding the Baltic Sea is still sparse. Here we report genome-wide DNA data from 24 ancient North Europeans ranging from ~7,500 to 200 calBCE spanning the transition from a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural lifestyle, as well as the adoption of bronze metallurgy. We show that Scandinavia was settled after the retreat of the glacial ice sheets from a southern and a northern route, and that the first Scandinavian Neolithic farmers derive their ancestry from Anatolia 1000 years earlier than previously demonstrated. The range of Western European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers extended to the east of the Baltic Sea, where these populations persisted without gene-flow from Central European farmers until around 2,900 calBCE when the arrival of steppe pastoralists introduced a major shift in economy and established wide-reaching networks of contact within the Corded Ware Complex.

Forward simulations are increasingly important in evolutionary genetics to simulate selection with realistic demography, mating systems and ecology. To reach the performance needed for genome-wide simulations a number of new simulation techniques have been developed recently. Kelleher et al. (2018) introduced a technique consisting in recording the entire genetic history of the population and placing mutations on the coalescent tree. This method cannot model selection. I recently introduced a simulation technique that speed up fitness calculation by assuming that fitness effects among haplotypes are multiplicative (Matthey-Doret, 2021). More precisely, fitness measures are stored for subsets of the genome and, at time of reproduction, if no recombination happen within a given subset, then the fitness for this subset for the offspring haplotype is directly inferred from the parental haplotype. Here, I present a hybrid of the above two techniques. The algorithm records the genetic history of a species, directly places the mutations on the tree and infers fitness of subsets of the genome from parental haplotypes. At recombinant sites, the algorithm explores the tree to reconstruct the genetic data at the recombining segment. I benchmarked this new technique implemented in SimBit and report an important improvement of performance compared to previous techniques to simulate selection. This improvement is particularly drastic at low recombination rate. Such developments of new simulation techniques are pushing the horizon of the realism with which we can simulate species molecular evolution.
