Ancient DNA recovered from a series of skeletons in central Germany up to 7500 years old has been used to reconstruct the first detailed genetic history of modern Europe.
The study, published today in Nature Communications, reveals a dramatic series of events including major migrations from both Western Europe and Eurasia, and signs of an unexplained genetic turnover about 4000-5000 years ago.
The research was performed at the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD). Researchers used DNA extracted from bone and teeth samples from prehistoric human skeletons to sequence a group of maternal genetic lineages that are now carried by up to 45% of Europeans.

That is very interesting indeed, as I think the conventional story is that the Celts expanded from central Europe. Not out of Iberia.

This is very interesting. I sent the link to my daughter. She is a genetic scientist.
I don’t know how many of you study history from the bible, but this goes right along with it. Noah’s flood was to have occured 4-5000 years ago. There were major changes after it. Man’s lifespan was drastically shortened after the flood.
Also, all life died except Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. Only the animals in the ark were saved. Noah’s family repopulated the earth. Also, they started out from Turkey, just as this article says. Lots to think about.

The Neandertal Enigma"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Thanks BenLurkin.Ancient DNA recovered from a series of skeletons in central Germany up to 7500 years old... major migrations from both Western Europe and Eurasia, and signs of an unexplained genetic turnover about 4000-5000 years ago... DNA extracted from bone and teeth samples from prehistoric human skeletons to sequence a group of maternal genetic lineages that are now carried by up to 45% of Europeans.To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

Interesting. They will be saying the same thing in another 5000 years, wondering how it became all Arab and North African.
Sounds like an invasion...or maybe just an influx of 'immigrants'.
Actually, there’s nothing in that article that says all life died except one family and a few animals on an ark, and the claimed origin of agriculture in the Near East (which includes Turkey) is known from RC dating of domesticated multirow barley to be at least 14,000 years old; in the article the arrival of agriculture in Germany was 5500 BC. There’s also nothing in the article about decreased lifespans, but it’s known from other research that lifespans increased greatly (as did family size) with the rise of agriculture.
I wish Noah had brought dinosaurs in his small ship. I would truly have loved to see what they were like five thousand nine hundred and two score years ago. Did you know they have found pieces of what they think are part of Noah’s boat on Pike’s Peak? I saw that on Bigfoot Hunters.
Many people fail to notice - the fish lived; so not all life was eliminated ;)
The Milesian legends say Iberia.
Then evolution must happen really fast if all species of land animals came about from those that could fit on the Ark.
If the H was replaced, it means that something like disease wiped out most of the people; if H remained, but other markers replaced, it would mean that invaders came and killed the men and took the women (preserving the H). Which is it?
