Majority of Europeans are from Armenia - genetic conformation
August 27, 2011 | 03:07
A recent study of the origin of the first Europeans recently published
in the British monthly Proceedings of the Royal Society reveals that
the first men came to Western Europe nearly 40,000 years ago, reports
Nouvelles d'Arménie.
These people lived by hunting, fishing and gathering. These early
Europeans were oppressed with the arrival of people from Anatolia
(Armenian plateau), who were sedentary living people with very
different lifestyle from economic and social respects. According to
recent studies, characteristic features of these people from Anatolia
were present in the chromosomes of 100 million Europeans, particularly
those living in Spain, Ireland and Wales.
The researchers also found that the presence of these chromosomes were
even stronger in populations of Eastern Europe, close to Anatolia.
Thus there would be little difference in the genetic characteristics
of populations in Eastern Europe and Middle East. Only downside to the
study of British researchers is that they cannot say the precise date
for the arrival of these chromosomes from Anatolia (the Armenian
plateau) to Europe.
