摘要: The archaeogenetics of Europe remains deeply controversial. Advances in ancient DNA analysis have suggested gene flow between Neanderthals and modern humans, who arrived <50,000 years ago, but so far failed to support evolution from a population Homo heidelbergensis represented by northern Spain. extent which European Mesolithic forager populations versus Neolithic pioneers the Near East contributed extant pool Europeans also continues be contested. Whilst analyses mitochondrial lineages emphasized Late Palaeolithic expansions, results suggest significant dispersals southern “refugial” zone into “bio-tidal” zone. However, whether these had primarily Eastern or north Mediterranean source matter for debate. Meanwhile, has begun highlight an important role later dispersals, especially late Neolithic, shaping pool.
