Genomic admixture tracks pulses of economic activity over 2,000 years in the Indian Ocean trading network

Abstract The Indian Ocean has long been a hub of interacting human populations. Following land- and sea-based routes, trade drove cultural contacts between far-distant ethnic groups in Asia, India, the Middle East and Africa, creating one of the world’s first proto-globalized environments. However,...
