I0679 Krepost N 23andme file

In 5667 BC, in the region of modern-day Bulgaria, a Neolithic individual from the site of Krepost lived during one of Europe’s earliest farming periods. What makes this ancient genome remarkable is how unmixed it is compared to later European farmers. Unlike many Neolithic Europeans, who already showed traces of Western Hunter-Gatherer ancestry, this Bulgarian farmer’s DNA is almost entirely devoid of hunter-gatherer input.

But there’s a twist, subtle signals in the genome reveal a small yet notable contribution from West Asian populations, likely related to Caucasus Hunter-Gatherers or Iran Neolithic peoples.

According to Global25, she resembles such modern ethnicities as Greek islanders and Southern Italians. The sample can be modeled as a mixture of modern Sardinians with East Turks and Palestinians.

Breaking down the ancestry of this sample into deeper components, about 71 percent of her ancestry derives from the Eurasians, while 28 percent of her ancestry derives from the basal eurasians.

I ran her through my Trait Predictor and Betacalc tools for DNA analysis.
