[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] EEF in Middle/Late Neolithic Germans is low to negligible, yet we're expected to believe Early Neolithic Germans were overwhelmingly EEF. So these loony-tunes now are proposing some sort of "massive migration" [from yet somewhere else] between Early and Middle/Late Neolithic to explain the huge reduction of EEF (orange): [IMG]http://s3.postimg.org/ub6htykxf/Late_Neolithic.png[/IMG] A far more reasonable explanation is Stuttgart (the genome of a single individual) is not at all representative of typical Early Neolithic Germans (for whatever reason, its an outlier); perhaps EEF was always very low in northern Europe - which makes sense in light of ancient DNA from the Baltic which shows Early Neolithic Baltics were 0% EEF. [/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Was it a massive migration? Or was it rather a slow and persistent seeping of people, items and ideas that laid the foundation for the demographic map of Europe and Central Asia that we see today? The Bronze Age (about 5,000 – 3,000 years ago) was a period with large cultural upheavals. But just how these upheavals came to be have remained shrouded in mystery. Assistant Professor Morten Allentoft from the Centre for GeoGenetics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark at the University of Copenhagen is a geneticist and is first author on the paper in Nature. He says: - Both archaeologists and linguists have had theories about how cultures and languages have spread in our part of the world. We geneticists have now collaborated with them to publish an explanation based on a record amount of DNA-analyses of skeletons from the Bronze Age. So far the archaeologists have been divided into two different camps. Professor Kristian Kristiansen of the University of Gothenburg, who initiated the project together with Lundbeck Foundation Professor Eske Willerslev says: - The driving force in our study was to understand the big economical and social changes that happened at the beginning of the third millennium BC, spanning the Urals to Scandinavia. The old Neolithic farming cultures were replaced by a completely new perception of family, property and personhood. I and other archaeologists share the opinion that these changes came about as a result of massive migrations. [...] [/QUOTE] http://geogenetics.ku.dk/latest-news/modern-european/ [/QB][/QUOTE]
