Radiocarbon dating is the gold standard in archeology to estimate the age of skeletons, a key to studying their origins. Many published ancient genomes lack reliable and direct dates, which results in obscure and contradictory reports. We developed the temporal population structure (TPS), a DNA-based dating method for genomes ranging from the Late Mesolithic to today, and applied it to 3,591 ancient and 1,307 modern Eurasians. TPS predictions aligned with the known dates and correctly accounted for kin relationships. TPS dating of poorly dated Eurasian samples resolved conflicting reports in the literature, as illustrated by one test case. We also demonstrated how TPS improved the ability to study phenotypic traits over time. TPS can be used when radiocarbon dating is unfeasible or uncertain or to develop alternative hypotheses for samples younger than 10,000 years ago, a limitation that may be resolved over time as ancient data accumulate. ∼50% of ancient genomes lack reliable dates, which leads to poor understanding Genomic data contain markers indicative of the age of the sample TPS is an AI-based genomic dating tool that converts DNA data to dates (<10,000 BP) TPS can be used to date ancient genomes and resolve dating disputes Accurate dating is essential to the interpretation of paleogenomic data. The gold standard method in archeology is radiocarbon dating. However, a major limitation of radiocarbon dating is the high amount of collagen extraction involved in the process. Consequently, almost half of all published ancient genomes lack reliable and direct dates, which results in obscure and contradictory reports. Here, we present the temporal population structure (TPS), a machine learning-based genomic dating method for genomes ranging from the fringes of the Late Mesolithic to modern times. Accurate dating is essential to the interpretation of paleogenomic data, yet nearly half of all ancient genomes lack reliable dates, which results in obscure and contradictory reports. To overcome these problems, Behnamian et al. develop TPS, a genomic dating tool for genomes (<10,000 BP), and demonstrate its accuracy on ∼5,000 genomes.
