Recent ancient DNA studies have revealed that the genetic history of modernEuropeans was shaped by a series of migration and admixture events betweendeeply diverged groups. While these events are well described in Central andSouthern Europe, genetic evidence from Northern Europe surrounding theBaltic Sea is still sparse. Here we report genome-wide DNA data from 24 ancientNorth Europeans ranging from ~7,500 to 200 calBCE spanning the transitionfrom a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural lifestyle, as well as the adoption ofbronze metallurgy. We show that Scandinavia was settled after the retreat of theglacial ice sheets from a southern and a northern route, and that the firstScandinavian Neolithic farmers derive their ancestry from Anatolia 1000 yearsearlier than previously demonstrated.
