A really interesting study carried out by the Univeristy of Mainz (Germany) in collaboration with the University of Thrace (Greece)

We have new data on neolithic individuals from Greece and Anatolia. G2a pops up again, strongly indicating a link between Aegean populations and the Iceman. mtDNA hgs mostly K1, nothing unusual here.
Closest modern populations are Sardinians, Greeks, and Italians, while modern Turkish inhabitants of Anatolia do not seem to be related to the neolithic population of the region.
Other data points to lactose intolerance, depigmented skin and dark eyes.
In general, the paper reinforces the theory that early European farmers spread from the Aegean.
It contains a wealth of information, it will take me a while to go through everything...
