Researchers analyzing ancient DNA from human remains and cave sediments discovered that Ice Age Europeans living more than 30,000 years ago were far more genetically connected across vast distances than previously believed. The study, published in Science Advances, challenges the long-held assumption that eastern and western European populations remained largely isolated.
“Our results show that eastern and western European populations were not as genetically isolated as previously assumed. Gene flow across such large distances adds a new dimension to our understanding of how Gravettian populations were connected.”
