Remains of a 5.000 woman were discovered in Sweden. From the DNA analysis a surprising discovery. The human bears an enormous genetic similarly with the people who lived on the borders of the Mediterranean Sea.
The discovery is important in order to understand the Neolithic population movements and the spread of agriculture habits across Europe.
“The farmer is most genetically similar to people living in Cyprus and Sardinia today,” says Pontus Skoglund, an evolutionary geneticist at Uppsala University in Sweden and the lead author of the study, which is published today in Science.
Named "Gök4" the 5,000-year-old remains were found in Gökhem parish, southern Sweden. The discovery of her ancestry feeds into a long-running debate over the transition from foraging to farming in prehistoric Europe, a process that archaeologists refer to as Neolithization. from here
