During the past ten years, archaeogenetic research has exponentially grown to study the genetic history of human populations, using genome-wide data from large numbers of ancient individuals. Of the entire globe, Europe and the Near East are the regions where ancient DNA data is by far most abundant with over 2500 genomes published at present. In this review, we focus on archaeological contexts that have received less attention in the literature, specifically those associated with west Eurasian hunter-gatherers as well as populations from the Iron Age and later historical periods. In addition, we emphasize a recent shift from continent-wide to regional and even site-specific studies, which is starting to provide novel insights into sociocultural aspects of past societies.

西欧亚人考古学研究的最新动向。

在过去的十年中，考古学研究呈指数级增长，使用来自大量古代个体的全基因组数据来研究人类种群的遗传历史。在全球范围内，欧洲和近东地区是迄今为止古代 DNA 数据最为丰富的地区，目前已发布了 2500 多个基因组。在这篇综述中，我们重点关注文献中较少关注的考古背景，特别是与西欧亚狩猎采集者以及铁器时代和后期历史时期人口相关的考古背景。此外，我们强调最近从全大陆研究转向区域甚至特定地点研究，这开始为过去社会的社会文化方面提供新的见解。
