DNA study finds invaders first farmed Europe
Updated Wed 10 Nov 2010, 1:59pm AEDT
A team of international researchers led by ancient DNA experts from Adelaide University have traced the origins of the people who introduced farming to Europe about 8,000 years ago.
The first farming communities were invaders from what is now Turkey rather than from the hunter gatherers around Germany, as earlier thought.
Researcher Dr Wolfgang Haak says a detailed genetic picture has been developed of the farming population and it reveals radical differences from the nomadic populations already present.
"We have finally resolved the question of who the first farmers in Europe were; invaders with revolutionary new ideas, rather than populations of Stone Age hunter-gatherers who already existed in the area," he said.
He said the potential route the invaders took has been worked out.
"We have also been able to use genetic signatures to identify a potential route from the Near East and Anatolia, where farming evolved around 11,000 years ago, via south-eastern Europe and the Carpathian Basin (now Hungary) into central Europe," he explained.
