Genetic Breakdown of Early Neolithic South Scandinavian Farmers Associated with the Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC) in Denmark 🇩🇰

~77.7% LBK
~22.3% WHG
P = 0.567


The Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC) in Denmark was a significant Neolithic farming culture that thrived from approximately 3950 BC to 2800 BC. It succeeded the Ertebølle culture and was characterized by the use of distinctive funnel-necked beaker ceramics, hence its name. The culture introduced agriculture and animal husbandry to the region, replacing the previous hunter-gatherer lifestyle. People lived in longhouses and built megalithic tombs such as dolmens and passage graves. The Funnel Beaker Culture was eventually replaced by the Single Grave culture around 2800 BC.

Bronze Age breakdowns for new Mazunino culture samples

The Mazunino culture was an Iron Age culture of the Middle Kama region that developed from the earlier Ananyino and Pyany Bor cultures with influence from nearby Sarmatian cultures. The Mazunino culture is generally associated with early Permic-speakers.

All of the male samples at the site show Y-DNA N-L392

New paper published in Nature: "Whole-genome ancestry of an Old Kingdom Egyptian"

Researchers sequenced the whole genome of an adult male excavated at Nuwayrat, radiocarbon dated to 2855–2570  calBCE, shortly after the unification of Egypt. The body was buried in a ceramic pot within a rock-cut tomb, likely aiding in the preservation of his DNA.
Genetic analysis indicates that the majority of his ancestry derives from a combination of North African Neolithic and Mesopotamian/Levantine sources.
He is predicted to have had brown eyes, brown hair, and dark to black skin pigmentation.

Ancestry modeling of PM1 Woman (Peștera Muierii 1, Romania, ~34kya)

~87% Sunghir-like Upper Paleolithic (West Eurasian Core)

~13% Bacho Kiro–related Initial Upper Paleolithic (East Eurasian Core)


p = 0.144


Discovered in 1952 in Muierii Cave (SW Romania), PM1 is one of the earliest modern human women known from Europe. The remains were associated with Aurignacian tools, placing her in the Early Upper Paleolithic.


PM1 is a mosaic individual, primarily Sunghir-like, but with a significant Bacho Kiro–related ancestry signal. qp4ratio estimates ~2% Neanderthal ancestry


Directly dated to 32,735–32,181 calBCE (29940 ± 167 BP)


PM1 carried mtDNA haplogroup U6
