116 Abstract
Farming was first introduced to southeastern Europe in the mid-7th 117 millennium BCE
118 brought by migrants from Anatolia who settled in the region before spreading
119 throughout Europe. To clarify the dynamics of the interaction between the first farmers
120 and indigenous hunter-gatherers where they first met, we analyze genome-wide ancient
121 DNA data from 223 individuals who lived in southeastern Europe and surrounding
122 regions between 12,000 and 500 BCE. We document previously uncharacterized genetic
123 structure, showing a West-East cline of ancestry in hunter-gatherers, and show that
124 some Aegean farmers had ancestry from a different lineage than the northwestern
125 Anatolian lineage that formed the overwhelming ancestry of other European farmers.
126 We show that the first farmers of northern and western Europe passed through
127 southeastern Europe with limited admixture with local hunter-gatherers, but that some
128 groups mixed extensively, with relatively sex-balanced admixture compared to the male-
129 biased hunter-gatherer admixture that prevailed later in the North and West.
130 Southeastern Europe continued to be a nexus between East and West after farming
131 arrived, with intermittent genetic contact from the Steppe up to 2,000 years before the
132 migration that replaced much of northern Europes population.
