Europeans drawn from three ancient 'tribes'

[dipsydoodle]

The modern European gene pool was formed when three ancient populations mixed within the last 7,000 years, Nature journal reports.

Blue-eyed, swarthy hunters mingled with brown-eyed, pale skinned farmers as the latter swept into Europe from the Near East.

But another, mysterious population with Siberian affinities also contributed to the genetic landscape of the continent.

The findings are based on analysis of genomes from nine ancient Europeans.

1. Well, let's say "at least three" ....

discovery of more samples could reveal more groups.

3. I once read that the three zones corresponded to the areas of modern-day France, Romania and Poland.

Too bad the population doesn't exist anymore.

8. Interesting

Blood type maps did show northern Siberia as one of the possible locations of mine, along with northern India.

Mine's rare enough to have few sites of possible origin.

10. oh, there's oodles of maps

there's Mediterranoids in the south and proto-Norse in the west, all atop a bed of Georgians: Russia and Finland have always been Russian/Finnish: so you have redheads attacking blondes in the west through the 3rd millennium BC ...
