Paleolithic human DNA reveals east-west connections across Ice Age Europe
More than 30,000 years ago, people associated with one of Europe's major Paleolithic cultures (the Gravettian) were more interconnected than previously thought. An international research team led by the University of Vienna has uncovered new genetic evidence of long-distance connections between these populations. Published in Science Advances, the study combines genomic data from rare human remains with human DNA preserved in cave sediments.
In Europe of the last Ice Age, human groups appear to have been more closely linked than previously suggested genetic findings. New DNA analyses point to an early exchange between eastern and western Gravettien populations. At the same time, genetic traces from caves show that a western European lineage could have survived for millennia. Vienna (Austria).

About 30,000 years ago, hunters and collectors left their mark from today's Spain to Siberia. Between the people of this so-called Gravettien, one of the most important ancient Stone Age cultures in Europe, there were far-reaching contacts, including genetic exchange between East and West, reports a research team headed by the University of Vienna in the journal "Science Advances".
