Scientists have published a fresh study sysname the origin of the modern European man. It was found that its genome has formed the result of a wide migrations in the bronze age. In addition it is known that the inhabitants of Europe began to drink milk much later than it was previously. A group of academics under the management of Dr. Christian Christiansen from the Institute of Gothenburg in Sweden decided to find out what kind of migration, socio-economic and genetic mechanisms influenced the origin of the modern European inhabitant of our planet. To answer this question, which long remained a mystery, professionals analyzed the DNA of our planet's inhabitants, who lived during the bronze age, and told the results in a scientific publication, Nature reports. As follows from the data of the study, the experts came to the basic conclusion is the Foundation of modern genetic population Eropa had been the result of active migrations that occurred in the bronze age. Correspondence so-called genetic maps started about 5 thousand years ago, when from the steppes of the Caucasus, Yamna culture migrated to the West, generally in North and Central Europe. To a lesser extent, the population migrated to Western Siberia. In Northern Europe Yamna culture mingled with people of the corded ware culture that inhabited the region at that time. By the way, ancient Europeans at the gene level is extremely similar to modern populations living North of the Alps. Later the area to the East of the Urals and in Central Asia was colonized approximately 3,800 years ago, the Andronovo culture, which inhabited Kazakhstan, Western Siberia, the Western part of Central Asia and the Urals. Scientists came to the conclusion, what exactly do the followers of this culture were the carriers of the genome, which is currently the Europeans. In addition, experts expect that the outcome of the migration was the formation of the Indo-European language. Other opening geneticists, when the Europeans started drinking milk. Previously, scientists thought that the ability to digest lactose (the substance in milk) did back in the stone age. But it turns out that to use milk local population was only in the late bronze age. The researchers imply that this came under the influence of genes nomads Yamna culture.
