Scientists have determined that the first Greek civilizations in Europe descended from approximately the same ancestors.
The study examined 6 complete genomes collected from archaeological sites in the early and middle Bronze Age of Greece. Cell.
Biologists also studied the mitochondrial genomes of 11 other individuals who lived in the early Bronze Age off the coast of the Aegean Sea. As it turned out, early civilizations had a lot in common at the genetic level.
Scientists have concluded that the Minoan civilization in Crete, the Hellenic civilization on the mainland of Greece, and the Cycladic civilization in the Cyclades in the center of the Aegean Sea have common ancestors.
This finding suggests that early urban centers in Europe arose not only from migration from the east of the Aegean, but also from cultural exchanges between local Neolithic groups.
The results of scientific work also indicate that the Greek civilization was formed by waves of migration from the Black Sea-Caspian steppe and those who lived north of the Aegean Sea (Pontic-Caspian steppe).
As reported OBOZREVATEL, scientists suggested the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way.
