Extensive farming in Estonia started through a sex-biased migration from the Steppe

L. Saag, L. Varul, C. L. Scheib, J. Stenderup, M. E. Allentoft, L. Saag, L. Pagani, M. Reidla, K. Tambets, E. Metspalu, A. Kriiska, E. Willerslev, T. Kivisild, M. Metspalu

The paper analyzes genome data from Estonian hunter-gatherers and farmers to show that farming in Estonia began with a sex-biased migration from the Steppe involving admixture with Anatolian farmers.
