Unexplained Change In Europeans' DNA 4000-5000 Years Ago Remains A Mystery

 MessageToEagle/in5d

A new study indicates that the genetic markers of this first pan-European culture, were suddenly replaced around 4500 years ago.

Scientists don’t know why.

A sudden genetic turnover that took place a few millennia ago remains unexplained.

Ancient DNA recovered from a series of skeletons in central Germany up to 7500 years old has been used to reconstruct the first detailed genetic history of modern Europe.

A new study conducted by an international team of researchers at the University of Adelaide’s Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD), that their colleagues from the University of Mainz, Germany and the National Geographic Society’s Genographic Project, reveals a dramatic series of events including major migrations from both Western Europe and Eurasia, and signsof an unexplained genetic turnover about 4000-5000 years ago.

The research was performed at the University of Adelaide’s Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD). Researchers used DNA extracted from bone and teeth samples from prehistorichuman skeletons to sequence a group of maternal genetic lineages that are now carried by up to 45% of Europeans.

“This is the first high-resolution genetic record of these lineages through time, and it is fascinating that we can directly observe both human DNA evolving in ‘real-time’, and the dramatic population changes that have taken place in Europe,” says joint lead author Dr Wolfgang Haak of ACAD.

“We can follow over 4000 years of prehistory, from the earliest farmers through the early Bronze Age to modern times.”

  • “Around 4500 years ago” takes us directly to 2348 BC, the date given in the Book of Jasher for the Flood.
    I have scratched my head over this one, and I cannot work out why one set of genetic markers should have disappeared at this time, to be replaced by another set.
    I expect there must be a reason somewhere.
