Europe's last hunter-gatherers were more diverse than thought, DNA evidence suggests
There is some relatively new evidence to suggest that the genetic ancestry of Europe's hunter-gatherers is more complex than previously thought. These are the people who lived in Europe many thousands of years ago during the Ice Ages.
