Then there were the Anatolian farmers who build Gobeki Tepi and another, even earlier, site between 13,500 and 10,800BC. But none of them were Greeks, which was the subject of my post.

I have not seen any DNA on the people of Gobeki Tepi. We don’t have any reports of significant movement of peoples into anatolia between the time of Gobeki Tepi and the movement of anatolian farmers out of the area starting roughly 5000-6000 bc. so it may be safe to say that they are the same people.

what is know is that these anatolian farmer crossed into greece where there were western hunter gatherers. Over the next millenium or so they spread out throughout europe and mixed with resident hunter gatherers including Greece.

About 3000 bc the various groups of the pontic steppe or what is now ukraine and parts of russia moved west into europe and balkans.

All of this happened before the pharoahs built their pyramids. The old kingdom didn’t start up until about 2600 bc.
