Title DNA Research Sheds Light on Migration Pattern of Early Farmers Media name/outlet R and D Magazine Date 4/06/17 Description New DNA research has led credence to a theory that the spread of agriculture throughout Europe followed migration into the Mediterranean from the Near East much earlier than previously thought.
Researchers from the University of Huddersfield in the U.K. believe the migration pattern began more than 13,000 years ago during the Late Glacial period—thousands of years earlier than what was widely believed.URL https://www.rdmag.com/article/2017/04/dna-research-sheds-light-migration-pattern-early-farmers Persons Martin Richards Title New DNA research shows true migration route of early farming in Europe 8,000 years ago Media name/outlet Health Medicine Network Date 6/04/17 Description A NEW article co-authored by experts at the University of Huddersfield bolsters a theory that the spread of agriculture throughout Europe followed migration into the Mediterranean from the Near East more than 13,000 years ago – thousands of years earlier than widely believed.
This was during the Late Glacial period and initially the migrants were hunter-gatherers. But they later developed a knowledge of agriculture from further newly-arrived populations from the Near East – where farming began – and during the Neolithic, approximately 8,000 years ago, they began to colonise other parts of Europe, taking their farming practices with them.URL healthmedicinet.com/i/new-dna-research-shows-true-migration-route-of-early-farming-in-europe-8000-years-ago/ Persons Martin Richards, Maria Pala
