The modern human settlement of Europe is a complex process with overimposed migrations and regionalisation episodes, as well as adaptive processes that shaped the genome of modern populations. New developments in massive sequencing techniques allow now the generation of an unprecedented amount of genomic data, including the genotyping of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the generation of complete ancient genomes. These paleogenomic data will have much more resolution for studying the past than genomic data from present-day individuals because migration, admixture and population replacement can confound the interpretation of current genetic diversity. However, their interpretation will require a real multidisciplinary effort, involving population geneticists, archaeologists and anthropologists. Here, we explain how paleogenomics is providing new insights into a wide range of topics such as demography, undetected migrations, mating strategies or adaptive processes of prehistoric European populations.
