Ancient genome analyses shed light on kinship organization and mating practice of Late Neolithic society in China

Summary: Anthropology began in the late nineteenth century with an emphasis on kinship as a key factor in human evolution. From the 1960s, archaeologists attempted increasingly sophisticated ways of reconstructing prehistoric kinship but ancient DNA analysis has transformed the field, making it poss...
