Roots of Mediterranean civilisations.

Current biology : CB - 25 Sept 2017

Gross Michael

Abstract excerpt

European culture traces its history back to the ancient Greek civilisations, while Christianity and Judaism have their roots in the populations on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Genome studies of several Bronze Age individuals from each of these regions have now probed the genetic roots of early civilisations, revealing both migration and continuity in both cases. Michael Gross reports.
