Abstract:
The Eurasian Bronze Age (BA) has been described as a period of substantial human migrations, the emergence of pastoralism, horse domestication, and development of metallurgy. This study focuses on two north Eurasian sites sharing Siberian genetic ancestry. One of the sites, Rostovka, is associated with the Seima-Turbino (ST) phenomenon (~2200-1900 BCE) that is characterized by elaborate metallurgical objects found throughout Northern Eurasia. The genetic profiles of Rostovka individuals vary widely along the forest-tundra Siberian genetic cline represented by many modern Uralic-speaking populations, and the genetic heterogeneity observed is consistent with the current understanding of the ST being a transcultural phenomenon. Individuals from the second site, Bolshoy Oleni Ostrov in Kola, in comparison form a tighter cluster on the Siberian ancestry cline. We further explore this Siberian ancestry profile and assess the role of the ST phenomenon and other contemporaneous BA cultures in the spread of Uralic languages and Siberian ancestry.
摘要:
欧亚青铜时代(BA)被描述为人类大量迁徙的时期,畜牧业的出现,驯化马,和冶金的发展。这项研究的重点是两个具有西伯利亚遗传血统的北欧亚站点。其中一个网站,Rostovka,与Seima-Turbino(ST)现象(〜2200-1900BCE)有关,该现象的特征是在整个欧亚大陆北部发现了精细的冶金物体。Rostovka个体的遗传特征在许多现代乌拉尔语族代表的西伯利亚苔原森林遗传序列上差异很大,观察到的遗传异质性与目前对ST是一种跨文化现象的理解是一致的。来自第二个站点的个人,莫斯科伊·奥莱尼·奥斯特洛夫在科拉,相比之下,西伯利亚血统上形成了一个更紧密的集群。我们进一步探索了这种西伯利亚血统,并评估了ST现象和其他同期BA文化在乌拉尔语言和西伯利亚血统传播中的作用。
