The First mtDNA from Mesolithic Greece is K1*
Some of you may know Hofmanova et al. 2016 labelled two Mesolithic Greeks as K1c. K1* or just K1 are more accurate labels. Also I found three HVR1 matches with one of the Mesolithic Greeks in Neolithic Germany(LBK culture). The HVR1 mutation they share is rare and therefore these LBK individuals probably belonged to the same K lineage as these Mesolithic Greeks did.
This is the first ancient DNA evidence that Europe's first farmers had ancestry from Mesolithic hunter gatherers of the Aegean.
