Neolithic Dna Reveals Surprising Truth Of The Yamnaya Culture In Europe It has long been known that pastoralists, belonging to the yamnaya culture from the pontic steppe region, in what is now ukraine and southern russia, changed the population of central europe in the late neolithic period. evidence of this has been provided in studies of the genome and “the emergence of the central and eastern european corded. The new dna evidence fleshes out what’s known about the extent of yamnaya people’s genetic reach. it reveals that the yamnaya mated with members of a distinctive eastern european culture.
Neolithic Dna Reveals Surprising Truth Of The Yamnaya Culture In Europe The yamnaya (c. 3300 – 2600 bc also called yamna) culture were nomadic herders living in an area we recognize today as the border between russia and ukraine.the new study has found the genes that significantly increase a person’s risk of developing multiple sclerosis (ms) were introduced into north western europe around 5,000 years ago by sheep and cattle herders migrating from the east. The first europeans weren’t who you might think. genetic tests of ancient settlers' remains show that europe is a melting pot of bloodlines from africa, the middle east, and today's russia. The genetic evidence suggests overwhelmingly that yamnaya men intermarried with european women to create some modern european populations, particularly the people of central and northern europe. the yamnaya also appear to be behind the corded ware culture. 37,000 year old bone reveals surprising connection between ancient and modern europeans. This new ancestry and its appearance in western europe had been uniquely associated with the spread of a later cultural group known as the yamnaya. this was a huge surprise.
