The effect of the Neolithic expansion on European molecular diversity.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Apr 2005

Currat Mathias, Excoffier Laurent

Abstract excerpt

We performed extensive and realistic simulations of the colonization process of Europe by Neolithic farmers, as well as their potential admixture and competition with local Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers. We find that minute amounts of gene flow between Palaeolithic and Neolithic populations should lead to a massive Palaeolithic contribution to the current gene pool of Europeans. This large Palaeolithic...
