The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations in Europe and
Southwest Asia, as well as the processes and the timing of their differentiation, remain
largely unknown. Demogenomic modeling of high-quality ancient genomes reveals that the
early farmers of Anatolia and Europe emerged from a multiphase mixing of a Southwest
Asian population with a strongly bottlenecked western hunter-gatherer population after the
last glacial maximum. Moreover, the ancestors of the first farmers of Europe and Anatolia …
