30,000-year-old woman's genome reveals Stone Age East-West European links

Genetic analysis of a Gravettian-era woman from southwestern France shows mixed ancestry, suggesting closer ties between distant populations than previously thought.

What to know

  • A 30,000-year-old woman's genome from Isturitz Cave in southwestern France shows mixed Eastern and Western European ancestry, contradicting prior assumptions that Gravettian populations were genetically isolated.
  • The finding suggests southwestern France may have been a cultural hub during the last ice age, with greater exchange between distant European populations than previously documented.
  • The research, published in Science Advances on October 23, analyzed genomes from only three Late Stone Age individuals—a tiny sample from a period where ancient DNA remains scarce.

    Live Science reports findings on 30,000-year-old Gravettian woman's genome

    Coverage highlights that the woman who died around 30,000 years ago and whose bones were found in Isturitz Cave had mixed ancestry revealing East-West exchange during the Gravettian period, challenging earlier assumptions about genetic isolation between European populations.

    “Our results show that eastern and western European populations were not as genetically isolated as previously assumed.”

  2. background

    Study reveals genetic connections between Gravettian populations across Europe — Researchers sequenced genomes from three Late Stone Age people who lived in Spain, France, and Italy around 30,000 years ago. The analysis, published in Science Advances, shows that one woman from Isturitz Cave in southwestern France had mixed genetic ancestry linking Eastern and Western European populations.
