Archaeogenetics and Landscape Dynamics in Sicily during the Holocene: A Review

The Mediterranean islands and their population history are of considerable importance to the interpretation Europe as a whole. In this context, Sicily, because its geographic position, represents bridge between Africa, Near East, that led stratification settlements admixture events. genetic analysis extant ancient human samples has tried reconstruct dynamics associated with cultural demographic changes took place during prehistory Sicily. turn, genetic, need be understood in context environmental over Holocene. Based on framework, paper aims discuss dimension island by reviewing archaeogenetic studies, lastly, we ecological constraints related peopling times change landscapes occurred various periods. Finally, possible directions for future studies Sicily discussed. Despite long history, is still one world’s biodiversity hotspots. lessons learn from past use landscape provide models sustainable management Mediterranean’s landscapes.
