There Is No New Study on the Origins of the Minoans and Mycenaeans — The 2017 Research Is Simply Being Recycled In recent days, numerous reports in both Greek and international media have presented as a “new discovery” the claim that the Minoans and Mycenaeans descended primarily from the first Neolithic farmers of the Aegean and that modern Greeks show substantial genetic continuity with the Mycenaeans. However, this is not a new scientific discovery. Most of these articles are simply recycling the findings of the landmark study “Genetic Origins of the Minoans and Mycenaeans,” published in the journal Nature in 2017 by Iosif Lazaridis and his colleagues. That study marked a turning point in archaeogenetics because it was the first to analyze ancient DNA from both Minoan and Mycenaean individuals. It demonstrated that the two civilizations were genetically very closely related and that the majority of their ancestry derived from the first Neolithic farming populations of the Aegean and western Anatolia. It also showed that the Mycenaeans possessed an additional, relatively small genetic component associated with populations from the Eurasian Steppe. Furthermore, the study concluded that modern Greeks remain genetically very similar to the Mycenaeans, despite the admixture events that occurred over the following three millennia. Since then, several newer archaeogenetic studies have been published using larger sample sizes and more advanced analytical methods. None of these studies overturned the conclusions of the 2017 paper. On the contrary, they have reinforced and refined its findings, providing a more detailed understanding of regional population structure, migration patterns, and demographic changes during the Bronze Age. Therefore, when media outlets present these well-established conclusions as a “new study,” it is worth remembering that they are, in fact, revisiting one of the most influential archaeogenetic papers of the past decade—not reporting a newly published scientific breakthrough. © Greece High Definition #archaeohistories

@SkylabTermite @shivlestat She was sexually assaulted and raped as a young women. She suffers PTSD due to the assault. Women who go through that tend to subconsciencely gain weight to make themselves unattractive. If you simple minded fools would research a person instead of jumping to a judgement would be

@fabriziodavoli1 @CyrusGee27 @SirBylHolte @politics1863 @BoboBowe_697 Again read history. There were many Africans that traveled abroad. In fact the richest man in Ancient history was Mansa Musa, from central Africa.

@CyrusGee27 @SirBylHolte @politics1863 @BoboBowe_697 The FUCK you mean there were no black people in Ancient Greece? There most certainly were. Slaves and just regular african travelers. Actually read history before you open your ignorant mouth.
