摘要: The Neolithic populations, which colonized Europe approximately 9,000 y ago, presumably migrated from Near East to Anatolia and there Central through Thrace the Balkans. An alternative route would have been island hopping across Southern European coast. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed genome-wide DNA polymorphisms on populations bordering Mediterranean coast mainland Europe. We observe a striking structure correlating genes with geography around Sea characteristic east west clines of gene flow. Using population network analysis, also find that flow was Dodecanese, Crete, coast, compatible hypothesis maritime coastal mainly used for migration farmers
