Published last year. Any more info on their haplogroups and dna?

Did farmers just spread across Europe, bringing the technology with them, and outcompete local hunter-gatherers? Or did hunter-gatherers get in contact with farmers, learn their technological advances, and switch to farming? ........So the researchers took the bones of four individuals from Romania — three dated to over 8,000 years ago, and one dated to 5,300 years ago
The individual dated to 5,300 years ago, however, turned up to be genetically about 60 percent hunter-gatherer and 40 percent Anatolian farmer. “It’s really mixed between the two populations,” Hofreiter says. That means that this person was the multigenerational child of hunter-gatherers and farmers mixing together. In short, in this area of Europe, hunter-gatherers and farmers weren’t just trading objects or swapping ideas, they were actually having sex.
“It’s the first time we can really show that hunter-gatherers and farmers really mixed,”
