Genetic evidence for an origin of the Armenians from Bronze Age mixing of multiple populations
Marc Haber; Massimo Mezzavilla; Yali Xue; David Comas; Paolo Gasparini; Pierre Zalloua, and Chris Tyler‐Smith · 2015
Catalogue summary
Haber and colleagues use genome-wide comparisons to model Armenian population formation, long-term continuity, and the effects of ancient regional mixing and later demographic separation.
Why this matters
The study supplies genetic evidence that can be weighed alongside archaeological, linguistic, and historical accounts without equating ancestry with identity.
