An ancient mass grave reveals targeted killing of women and children in the Early Iron Age
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 26 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-025-02400-5On discovering that one of the largest prehistoric mass graves of Europe predominantly held violently killed women and children, we used a battery of methods to investigate how this gender-selective and age-selective pattern reflected the strategic disruption of power networks and lineages in the Early Iron Age.

I am very happy to share our new paper on the genetics of some of the first modern humans who ever lived in Europe! We sequenced nuclear DNA from 13 specimens from Ranis in Germany, and found that they belonged to at least 6 individuals.
