RESULT OF DNA ANALYSIS : THE ORIGINS OF FIRST DEVELOPED CIVILIZATIONS OF EUROPE CAME OUT OF TURKEY

A new DNA analysis has revealed that the common ancestors of two ancient civilizations located in Greece, called the cradle of civilization, migrated from Turkey. Scientists note that the ancestors of the people who made up the Minioan and Mycenaean civilizations were early Neolithic farmers who migrated from Anatolia to Greece and Crete. The study also revealed that the modern Greeks were also largely descendants of the Mycenaeans.

An international research team has conducted a large-scale DNA analysis of the inhabitants of Greece, the mainland of Crete and southwestern Anatolia in the Bronze Age (Bronze Age) for first time. Specialists from the department of Human Historical Science from the University of Washington, Harvard Medical School and the Max Planck Institute, together with archaeologists and colleagues from Turkey and Greece, collected the data.

According to the researchers analyzed the dental DNA of 19 ancient individuals who were definitely known to have lived in southwestern Anatolia with the Minoans living on the Island of Crete and the Mycenaeans living in Greece. He compared the Minoan and Mycenaean genomes with each other and with the genomes of more than 330 ancient genomes and more than 2600 modern individuals living in today’s world.

The results showed that Mycenaeans and Minoans are genetically very similar but still not identical, while they revealed that early Neologitic farmers migrated from Anatolia for thousands of years during the Bronze Age.

“For more than 100 years, theories have been in contention with each other about the origins of the inhabitants of Bronze Age, Classical and Modern Greece,” said a professor of genetic sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, one of the authors of the study. The “Black Athena hypothesis”, which describes the Afro-Asiatic origins of the Classical Greek civilization and the period referred to as the “Participation of the Greeks” at the end of the second millennium, can be included in them. 19th century. The famous theory of the German historian, on the other hand, popularized the belief that the descendants of the ancient Greeks disappeared in the early Middle Ages.” was said.

The discovery of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations that appeared to inhabit the island of Crete and Greece in the late 1800s surprised archaeologists on the one hand, as well as gave birth to modern archaeology and gave Europe a window into the Bronze Age. This period of history had previously been seen only in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey epic.
