a Group of scientists from universities in Denmark, Germany and Sweden have studied the DNA of more than a hundred people who lived in Europe in the Bronze age. Researchers are interested in what these people have rarely met a mutation that allows you to digest milk. Now this feature is almost every European.

From the available data experts drew up a "map" of the DNA to the Bronze age. According to them, about 5,000 years ago hunters lived in Europe, migrated to Central Asia, where it became the basis for instintly culture. In their place came the cattlemen – the representatives of the Yamna culture who originally lived on the territory of modern Ukraine, Georgia and the Caucasus part of Russia.
 

 

the representatives of the Yamnaya culture in the Bronze age went on horseback and engaged in farming. The researchers suggest that they "brought" in Europe not only genes that help to digest milk, but the DNA elements responsible for brown eyes and pale skin, as well as new family forms and rituals of burial.

in addition, this culture has significantly influenced the introduction of European languages family, which was later called Indo-European. Now most languages spoken in Europe belong to this group.
