The genomic history of the Aegean palatial civilizations
Highlights
• Bronze Age (BA) Helladic, Cycladic, and Minoan genomes from the Aegean were sequenced
• 3,000 BCE Aegeans are homogeneous and derive ancestry mainly from Neolithic farmers
• Neolithic Caucasus-like and BA Pontic-Caspian Steppe-like gene flow shaped the Aegean
• Present-day Greeks are genetically similar to 2,000 BCE Aegeans from Northern Greece
