INTRODUCTION – The study of the genomes of buried individuals allows us to have a better understanding of the interaction that took place during this important period with the nomadic population of the Pontic steppe.
There are seven of them who have been buried together for 4,500 years at Bréviandes les Pointes, near Troyes. A man, a little boy, a little girl, three women and an infant. Every group of scientists like to be considered as a family. Genetic analyzes were performed on these individuals, recently published in the journal Science Advances allow us not only to better understand the social organization of the society of this period, but also to retrace more closely the last important population movement of the European continent that occurred in this important period.
The history of the modern population in Europe is in fact marked by important migratory events, the traces of which can be found in cultural practices, languages and more prosaically… our genetics. 8,000 years ago, groups of people from Anatolia and the Aegean region mixed with the European population.
