Abstract
The evolution of animal species, including humans, is punctuated by migrations over varying distances in response to environmental change. The analysis of ancient genomes has not only characterized these movements and the evolution of migrating populations, but also the resulting interbreeding events. It has also made it possible to track parallel evolutionary processes between humans and certain animal species, as well as their domestication. By comparing paleogenomic and archaeological data, we are highlighting the links between biological and cultural evolution. Studies illustrating these mechanisms will be presented.
