    The urban peoples of the Swahili coast traded across eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean and were among the first sub-Saharan practitioners of Islam [1, 2]. The extent to which these early interactions between Africans and non-Africans were accompanied by genetic exchange remains unknown. We report ancient DNA data for 80 individuals from six medieval and early modern (1250-1800 CE) coastal towns and an inland town postdating 1650 CE. Many coastal individuals had over half their DNA from primarily female African ancestors, with large proportions and occasionally more than half from Asian ancestors. The Asian ancestry included both Persian and Indian-associated components, with eighty to ninety percent from Persian males. Peoples of African and Asian origins began to mix by about 1000 CE, coinciding with large-scale adoption of Islam. Before about 1500 CE, the Southwest Asian ancestry was mainly Persian-related, consistent with the narrative of the Kilwa Chronicle, the oldest history told by people of the Swahili coast [3]. After this time, the sources became increasingly Arabian, consistent with evidence of growing interactions with southern Arabia [4]. Subsequent interactions with Asians and Africans further changed the ancestry of Swahili coast people relative to the medieval individuals whose DNA we sequenced.

    Present-day people from England and Wales harbour more ancestry derived from Early European Farmers (EEF) than people of the Early Bronze Age1. To understand this, we generated genome-wide data from 793 individuals, increasing data from the Middle to Late Bronze and Iron Age in Britain by 12-fold, and Western and Central Europe by 3.5-fold. Between 1000-875 BCE, EEF ancestry increased in southern Britain (England and Wales) but not northern Britain (Scotland) due to incorporation of migrants who arrived at this time and over previous centuries, and who were genetically most similar to ancient individuals from France. These migrants contributed about half the ancestry of Iron Age people of England and Wales, thereby creating a plausible vector for the spread of early Celtic languages into Britain. These patterns are part of a broader trend of EEF ancestry becoming more similar across Central and Western Europe in the Middle to Late Bronze Age, coincident with archaeological evidence of intensified cultural exchange2-6. There was comparatively less gene flow from continental Europe during the Iron Age, and Britain’s independent genetic trajectory is also reflected in the rise of the allele conferring lactase persistence to ~50% by this time compared to ~7% in Central Europe where it rose rapidly in frequency only a millennium later. This suggests that dairy products were used in qualitatively different ways in Britain and in Central Europe over this period.
