DESCRIPTION:Migration has been a major factor shaping human societies and 
 genomes through time and ancient DNA research indicates that\, by-and-larg
 e\, the genomes of present-day Europeans comprise ancestries brought in by
  three major waves of migrating people: 1) anatomically modern humans ~45\
 ,000 years ago (ya)\; 2) Near Eastern early farmers ~8\,000 ya\; 3) Steppe
  pastoralists ~5\,000 ya. However\, the detailed genetic history of any gi
 ven area is always much more complex\, calling for more focused and local-
 scale studies. One such (until recently) understudied region is the East E
 uropean plain. Here\, I will talk about research conducted in the last fiv
 e years or so\, looking into the demographic history of this region. More 
 specifically\, the focus has been on Stone to Pre-Roman Iron Age Estonia\,
  Scythian period Steppe\, Stone to Bronze Age Western Russia\, and most re
 cently on later Iron Age and medieval Estonia.\n\nRegister online: https:/
