AbstractThe Central Siberian Plateau was last geographic area in Eurasia to become habitable by modern humans after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Through comprehensive mitochondrial DNA genomes retained in indigenous Siberian populations, the Ket, Tofalar, and Todzhi - we explored genetic links between the Yenisei-Sayan region and Northeast Eurasia over the last 10,000 years. Accordingly, we generated 218 new complete mtDNA sequences and placed them into compound phylogenies along with 7 newly obtained and 70 published ancient mt genomes. Our findings reflect the origins and expansion history of mtDNA lineages that evolved in South-Central Siberia, as well as multiple phases of connections between this region and distant parts of Eurasia. Our result illustrates the importance of jointly sampling modern and prehistoric specimens to fully measure the past genetic diversity and to reconstruct the process of peopling of the high latitudes of the Siberian subcontinent.

Abstract. Many horse populations suffered severe decreases in numbers in the last century; some, such as the Coldblood horse breeds drastically declined in their population size, while others could be saved at the last minute. It is important to evaluate the amount of genetic variability still present in those populations in order to develop conservation programmes. Furthermore, it is essential to construct phylogenetic trees and to establish the relationships among different horse populations in order to deepen our understanding of the evolution and domestication of the horse. In the past ten years microsatellite markers have been widely used to assess genetic variability within and between different horse breeds. Moreover, attempts have been made to evaluate the phylogenetic relationships of different horse breeds by comparing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. In this paper we give an overview of the latest major findings in studies based on horse microsatellite data and mitochondrial DNA sequences.

A continuum survey of the galactic-centre region has been carried out at Parkes at 20 cm wavelength over the areal11= 355° to 5°,b11= -3° to +3° (Kerr and Sinclair 1966, 1967). This is a larger region than has been covered in such surveys in the past. The observations were done as declination scans.

During the last 10 years, the writer has presented evidence indicating that the Moon was captured by the Earth and that the large collisions with its surface occurred within a surprisingly short period of time. These observations have been a continuous preoccupation during the past years and some explanation that seemed physically possible and reasonably probable has been sought.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.
