Abstract
Many crucial developments in human prehistory occurred in Southwest Asia, including the transition to agriculture as well as the emergence of writing and of the earliest civilization. Two new studies in this issue of Cell map the genetic composition of human groups inhabiting the region during the sixth and first millennia Before Common Era (BCE) and uncover periods of significant population turnover.
