Extended Data Fig. 10: Spatiotemporal distribution and host genetic structure for ancient microbial groups.
From: The spatiotemporal distribution of human pathogens in ancient Eurasia
a, Panels showing geographic distributions (top) and timelines (bottom) for identified cases of ancient microbial hits in the oral microbiome and infection groups classes (indicated by coloured circle). Geographic locations and age distributions of all 1,313 study samples are shown in each panel using white squares. b, Principal component analyses showing ancient and modern human genetic population structure in non-African (left panels) and west Eurasian (right panels) individuals. Grey crosses indicate present-day individuals, whereas coloured symbols indicate ancient individuals (coloured by sample age). Diamonds with black outlines indicate position in PCA space for samples with hits in combined infection groups. Major clines of known ancient and modern human ancestry groups are indicated with labels.
