And this raises one of the biggest questions in the story of human evolution: where did everyone else go?" theguardian.com/science/2023/n @science

"Our approach consists of a pipeline with two components: a sign detector and a wedge detector. The sign detector uses a RepPoints model with a ResNet18 backbone to locate individual cuneiform characters in the tablet segment image. The signs are then cropped based on the sign locations and fed into the wedge detector. The wedge detector is based on the idea of Point RCNN approach. It uses a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and RoI Align to predict the positions and classes of the wedges. The method is evaluated using different hyperparameters, and post-processing techniques such as Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) are applied for refinement."

🇲🇳 " We observed that our studied Mongolians were structured into three distinct genetic clusters possessing different genetic affinity with previous studied Inner Mongolians and Mongols and various Eastern and Western Eurasian ancestries: two subgroups harbored dominant Eastern Eurasian ancestry from Neolithic millet farmers of Yellow River Basin; another subgroup derived Eastern Eurasian ancestry primarily from Neolithic hunter-gatherers of North Asia."

🇮🇷 "The results show an autochthonous but non-homogeneous ancient background mainly composed by J2a sub-clades with different external contributions. The phylogeography of the main haplogroups allowed identifying post-glacial and Neolithic expansions toward western Eurasia but also recent movements towards the Iranian region from western Eurasia (R1b-L23), Central Asia (Q-M25), Asia Minor (J2a-M92) and southern Mesopotamia (J1-Page08)."

"In the context of European populations, and particularly in Iberia, this haplogroup stands out for its high frequency and its demographic history. Current evidence indicates that the diffusion of this haplogroup is related to the population movements that mark the cultural Bronze Age transition, making it remarkably interesting for population geneticists."
