Genome-wide data shows genetic continuity and diversity in the southern caucasus population, indicating significant migration influences.

A persisting local gene pool emerged in the southern caucasus over 5,000 years, showing resilience despite migrations.
Genome-wide data from 205 individuals gives insight into genetic continuity, revealing contributions from neighboring regions and enhancing diversity.
High rates of ancestry outliers were observed, particularly in urban centers of eastern georgia, correlating with population growth.
Cranial modification practices were introduced by nomadic groups but became part of local culture, as evidenced by medieval individuals' ancestry.

Skourtanioti et al. (2025) studied this question.
