Ancient Groups Uncovered: Genetic Study Reveals Surprising Origins

Shockingly, the two groups were not related. Scientists, led by Federick V. Searsholm, a researcher at the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, examined the DNA of the teeth of 132 people. They found the following: The first group: The group that lived before 3000 BC was made up of peasant groups from northern France and Germany. The second group: The group that used the tomb some time later was from southern France and Iberia (today's Spain and Portugal). Genetic: According to Searsholm, there are clear differences in the genetics of the two groups.
