Unraveling Prehistoric Migration and Culture

This chapter examines the changing perspectives on human migration and cultural evolution in prehistoric Europe, significantly influenced by genetic data. It discusses the complexity of population interactions, particularly focusing on the Yamnaya culture's expansion and its implications for understanding societal dynamics, gender contributions, and the blending of ancestries.
