What we have found is that, in addition to the original European hunter-gatherers and a heavy dose of Near Eastern farmers, we can now add a third major population: steppe pastoralists. These nomads appear to have “invaded” central Europe in a previously unknown wave during the early Bronze Age (about 4,500 years ago). This event saw the introducti...
But there was still a major outstanding mystery. Apart from these two groups, the genomic signals clearly showed that a third -– previously unsuspected – large contribution had been made sometime before the Iron Age, around 2,000 years ago. But by whom? We have finally been able to identify the mystery culprit, using a clever new systeminvented by ...
This discovery also answered another major archaeological conundrum: who or what was the source of the Indo-European language family, which is wide-spread across Eurasia and the world, and includes English, Spanish, French, Greek, Russian and Hindu? Archaeologists had two major hypotheses: the language family came with either the invading Near East...
The genetic history of Europe includes information around the formation, ethnogenesis, and other DNA-specific information about populations indigenous, or living in Europe. The most significant recent dispersal of modern humans from Africa gave rise to an undifferentiated " non-African " lineage by some 70–50 ka (70-50,000 years ago).
Some early Americans came not from Asia, it seems, but by way of Europe. From the complete nuclear genome of a Siberian boy who died 24,000 years ago—the oldest complete genome of a modern...
Nov 16, 2015 · Geneticists have detected a fourth ancestral "tribe" which contributed to the modern European gene pool. Research shows Europeans are a mixture of three major ancestral populations - indigenous...
Jun 1, 2022 · The first time Rattus rattus went on a trip around Europe was during the growth of the Roman Empire. At that time, it came from somewhere in Asia — perhaps from Mongolia or northern China. The second time was in the Middle Ages. Then it helped to spread the Black Death.
Jun 22, 2015 · The latest study, published 1 today and reported by Nature ’s news team in May, reveals DNA sequences from one of Europe’s earliest Homo sapiens skeletons, known as Oase man (he was...
