Early Gravettian genomic data from Western Europe reveal population movements before the LGM
Anatomically modern humans first settled in Europe at least 45,000 years ago, yet limited genomic data from 45 to 20 thousand years (ka) constrain reconstructions of Upper Palaeolithic population dynamics. Before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ∼26.5 to 19 ka), Gravettian groups (∼34 to 25 ka) were widespread across Eur...
