Lost DNA - The Truth About Ancient Europeans | Part 1: Origins | Ancient History Documentary
Watch 'Lost DNA - The Truth About Ancient Europeans - Part 2' here: • Lost DNA - The Truth A...
Part 1:
Some 9,000 years ago dark-skinned, blue-eyed hunter-gatherers roamed our forests and plains. Thousands of years later, a new wave of settlers washed into Europe from the Middle East and the Mediterranean, bringing with them a dynamic new technology - farming.
Cutting-edge DNA research is transforming our knowledge of who we are, where we come from and how we got here. This series reveals fascinating and shocking truths about the ancient and medieval inhabitants of Europe. Clad in animal pelts, a hunter stalks his prey in a dense forest. He pauses, and we notice that he is dark-skinned. Then we see his eyes: they are a bright piercing blue. This is Ireland, 7000 BC. A crack team of geneticists based at Trinity College Dublin is now revealing the truth about ancient Europeans, from the hunter-gatherers who stalked and foraged in the wild, to the first farmers, who migrated from the Middle East. Now, a shocking discovery at the ancient passage tomb of Newgrange gives an astonishing insight into the culture and beliefs of Europeans some 5,000 years ago. And our experts reveal how medieval people continued to practice pagan rituals centuries after the coming of Christianity. We venture inside laboratories to watch scientists piece together the past using evidence from ancient bones and skulls, tree rings, soil samples and ice core data. Key scientific institutions, including the Department of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin and the Department of Archaeology and Palaeoecology at Queen's University Belfast, are featured and have granted Tile Films exclusive access to their research. Exciting sequences filmed at these places are combined with archaeological investigations, contributions from historians and other experts, spectacular drone aerial footage and vivid drama re-enactments.

It is relatively common in Eastern Europe, Turkey and some areas of Asia. The guy they show as an example of the first people crossing to Ireland has blue lenses put. No need for that.

Brown hair that has a red tint in the summer because of the sun and have bright green (blue if im crying) eyes. Pretty sure I exist. Also if you have never met anyone from the lavant area then surely you have seen the famous picture of the girl from Afghanistan with green eyes on the cover of National Geographic Magazine from the 90's. It's one of the most stunning photos ever taken in my opinion.

    That makes sense, if you were trying to minimize the effort to bury someone. The elaborate tombs containing those bodies in the fetal position tell an entirely different story though. Great effort was expended laying them to rest in tombs lined in large stones, capped with large stones. Certainly there were others that the fetal position may have saved effort, but not the one's shown.

    There are different types of "white" skin. The type typical in continental Europe will tan in the sun, whereas the type in North West Europe does not tan (even when they live in Australia, such as myself). Those populations with the highest proportion of Western Hunter gatherer today (Ireland, Scotland, parts of Scandinavia and Estonia) have the highest proportion of non tanning white skin. The repeated assertion that Western hunter gatherers were dark (some assert black) is a myth. The evidence of their living decedents is that they may very well have been the origin of the non tanning white skin type. There is a paper: "Global skin colour prediction from DNA, Hum Genet (2017) 136:847-863" shows how complex the issue is, and, given how fragmentary the ancient DNA is, the assertion of their skin complexion from DNA is political hogwash.

    You absolutely don't understand what you're talking about and the "scientist" in this docs are in great part responsible for that. A lot of comments here are wrong and misleading. To simplify, Every human has a particular gene who's for the most part is responsible for skin color. The difference between black people and other "races" of people, is that they possess the original version of this gene when all other people have a mutated version of the same gene. Yes, today, every person with light skin (Europeans and Asians) has the mutated version of that gene. On the other hand, every dark skinned people (in Africa, Asia, Australia, or anywhere else) possess the unmutated version of that same gene. The unmutated version of that gene is dominant over the mutated one which is recessive. Exactly like brown eyes are dominant over any other eye color who are in fact, mutated version of the brown one. That the whole point of the principle of gene dominance and gene recessiveness. The recessives one are always the mutated version of the dominants unmutated one. That's the only reason scientists can say with confidence that early Europeans were dark-skinned simply because they all had the same original dominant unmutated gene as any modern black Africans or any other darker-skinned people around the world TODAY! Absolutely nobody in modern Europe or Asia with white skin possess that skin color gene unmutated. Simple as that! and that include arabs, mediterraneans, sardinians, etc. Many comment here keep saying they believe they are related to this dark blue eyes ancient Europeans because they can tanne during the summer. Totally irrelevent! You simply could not possibly be related to them if you possess the recessive mutated versionn of their dominant unmutated one. It's simply biologicaly IMPOSSIBLE! just stop the nonsense and the ignorence already! Also, it's people like the scientist woman in this documentary who confuse the masse by misleading declaration like saying she think this ancient Europeans looked like today Sardinians. NONSENCE! First, what are this particular physical attributes sole Sardinian possess and nobody else? Second, Sardinians like all every other modern Europeans possess the mutated gene for skin color. Sardinians are over light skinned compared to ANY modern possessor of that unmutated gene. So, what she's talking about? Also, when scientist say that dark skinned and blue eyes combination seem to be extinct doday, what they really means is that it's very rare to find in the modern world somebody with the dominant unmutated gene for skin color and the recessive mutated gene for blue eyes. That all.

    Isn’t it fantastic that we’re learning so much from DNA! And the computers will reveal all truths, such as, God wants us to destroy capitalism, the wage, and say all people own all things. Acts 2:44. And it’s so obvious, because one farmer can’t own his own farm, perhaps thousands of acres, because he can’t do everything by himself. He needs many helpers, and they should work part time, not for a wage (Haggai 1:6). Because there will be equal wealth worldwide someday so no one is left to starve, because capitalists think it’s right to give all the money to a few rich people, who don’t work! Now that most money is just numbers in computers we can eliminate it for perfect equality. Then all nations will start building only Tower cities connected to maglev Trains, with vertical indoor gardens, and less work (no more curse). And that’s what “all people shall know him (God) means. Jeremiah 31:34 and others.

    Well... you might of answered your own question, what do you mean by... Sardinians who are "basically" white? That's the problem with you people who think they have solely ancestral Northern European ancestry. because if you don't look like Wayne Rooney, with his pale skin, stocky build, round skull and protruding ears, you aren't really "white". Is Wayne Rooney "Caucasian" or "white"? I would question Rooney's "Caucasian" actually, in comparison to a "Sardinian" who is a true "Caucasian". Caucasians are gracile not robust, natural build, small faces, etc... Everything and everyone in Northern Europe came from Southern Europe, except for the last migration into Northern Europe from Central Asia, so I have no idea why Northern Europeans feel so much different then Southern Europeans. right now my arms are dark and my feet are paler then I bet you, but you will still look at me different wouldn't you, just like the people you questioned on the video. I carry skin tone genes related to Neolithic people and I'm not at all naturally dark at all, I tan really good but not naturally dark, so this is a false claim and interpretation of ancient people's skin tone, but again.... because if I don't have the same skin tone genes as Northern Europeans, I am speculated to be "dark" and that's pseudo bias science at its core.

    _"...the Huns, or the Mongols..."_ That's daft. They were the Indo-Europeans! Huns and Mongols were partially descended from much later, East Asian peoples. They were still in eastern Asia in the Bronze Age, and the earliest of them to make it to the Russian Steppes were 2000 years after this man lived in Ireland. There is probably a 4000-5000 year difference in when they emigrated from the steppes, westward into Europe.

    Height and physical size are not strictly determined by genes. Environmental factors also play a role. People who have more and better food tend to be taller and larger than people who experience hunger. Americans today, on average, are much bigger than Americans of 70 years ago were. Another example is the movie set for Cameron's Titanic. The set for the grand staircase had to be made bigger than the original in order for today's people to walk down it side-by-side.

    Considering that ocean levels were far lower during the ice ages, and that in addition, Doggerland between northern France and eastern Britain was above sea level and most certainly allowed for migration of peoples, and that there was a quite a bit of dry land between Britain and Ireland, I'd say it entirely possible that not everyone migrated by boat. We may never know how many different groups have lived on these island nations, but the Celts weren't the first ones there although they have been the most prominent and the Gaels, Cymraeg (Welsh), Manx, and Cornish are still living there despite every effort of the English to exterminate or forcibly assimilate them. Be they the Dawn or Beaker peoples, I'd like to know more about those first people to set foot on Britain and Ireland.

    No, you're not. You absolutely don't understand what you're talking about and the "scientist" in this docs are in great part responsible for that. A lot of comments here are wrong and misleading. To simplify, Every human has a particular gene who's for the most part is responsible for skin color. The difference between black people and other "races" of people, is that they possess the original version of this gene when all other people have a mutated version of the same gene. Yes, today, every person with light skin (Europeans and Asians) has the mutated version of that gene. On the other hand, every dark skinned people (in Africa, Asia, Australia, or anywhere else) possess the unmutated version of that same gene. The unmutated version of that gene is dominant over the mutated one which is recessive. Exactly like brown eyes are dominant over any other eye color who are in fact, mutated version of the brown one. That the whole point of the principle of gene dominance and gene recessiveness. The recessives one are always the mutated version of the dominants unmutated one. That's the only reason scientists can say with confidence that early Europeans were dark-skinned simply because they all had the same original dominant unmutated gene as any modern black Africans or any other darker-skinned people around the world TODAY! Absolutely nobody in modern Europe or Asia with white skin possess that skin color gene unmutated. Simple as that! and that include arabs, mediterraneans, sardinians, etc. Many comment here keep saying they believe they are related to this dark blue eyes ancient Europeans because they can tanne during the summer. Totally irrelevent! You simply could not possibly be related to them if you possess the recessive mutated versionn of their dominant unmutated one. It's simply biologicaly IMPOSSIBLE! just stop the nonsense and the ignorence already! Also, it's people like the scientist woman in this documentary who confuse the masse by misleading declaration like saying she think this ancient Europeans looked like today Sardinians. NONSENCE! First, what are this particular physical attributes sole Sardinian possess and nobody else? Second, Sardinians like all every other modern Europeans possess the mutated gene for skin color. Sardinians are over light skinned compared to ANY modern possessor of that unmutated gene. So, what she's talking about? Also, when scientist say that dark skinned and blue eyes combination seem to be extinct doday, what they really means is that it's very rare to find in the modern world somebody with the dominant unmutated gene for skin color and the recessive mutated gene for blue eyes.

    I think neolithic people in Europe in general shared certain ideas that originated in the place where their ancestors came from, not Egypt but in a place between Asia Menor and Mesopotamia. You will find incredible neolithic sites also in modern France and Spain (a lot of them outstanding but not very well known by common people). What a fascinating history, how Europe changed with the waves of new populations. It has been suggested that the new populations from the Eurasian steppes brought with them the first wave of black plague so the neolithic people that populated Europe in that time were defenseless against that germ, so the people of the steppes had it easier to colonize and stamp their genes all over the place.

    The hunter gatherer/farmer conflict ever never black and white. Farming rarely 'moved' into areas. Farming and husbandry natural grew when cultures settled into one area due to friendly climate conditions (recent studies prove that humans, animals and even plants adapt around each other and the shift is inevitable as long as cultures are allowed to grow). Migration into previously harsh areas caused cultural conflict, but also the original people turned to permanent settlements because of improving climate conditions and expanding populations. The story is as complex as anything else, and told over hundreds and even thousands of years, and can happen independently around the world.

    The DNA findings are facts. They can map the migration etc. The Scientists are giving actual valid facts. The Archeologists practice a "Theory based Paradigm" (They were not correct, and going forward this will become more obvious. ) Belief and Theory does not qualify as does repeatable lab based Science = fact. Now, maybe they will return to the "Standards of Science and Research" and all can be free to think, Theorize, explore and discover. Freedom of Thought is a cornerstone requirement of Science. It supports other ideas or alternative theories. Graham merely offers another potential and he actually is applying the Standards of Science and "Research" He merely suggests that the Civilization prior to the flood was more advanced, then after the flood it was a restart. There are vast artifacts and Structures that support the idea. It is a matter of allowing the Science to validate the details. Time is revealing the facts. It is a most positive right now ...

I am not saying that science has nothing to contribute to answering these questions; quite the opposite. But the first step in keeping science useful in these endeavours, is to recognise that it can't answer every question that is worth asking. So, we might be able to figure out /how/ we came to be, but the /why/ is a completely different question, which science is not well-equipped to answer (as far as I can tell).

    42:50 Not really a taboo in a very small isolated group. Hell most of Europes nobility were cousins. Egyptian rulers married brother/sister or 1/2 siblings. It may be taboo now since Christianity became the dominant religion but we shouldn't put our moral standards on ancient societies like that. Genesis even has a few examples of that level of incest just because the population was so low as to be unavoidable.

    @@christigoth Under the original rules, his children by an unrelated woman were not his heirs, they were the heirs of their mothers brothers and he had no claim on them. Gwydion actually had three sons of his own, by the most messed up way you can imagine, but they were not his heirs. Rhiannon also had another child, Dylan who she managed to have murdered by another Uncle, who also would have been his heir. The logic behind it, and it still works that way in Matrilineal societies, is that you have no way of knowing if the child your wife has is related, but your sister's child definitely is. It works out well for both the woman who is equal in status with her husband, unlike the Patrilineal societies where the woman is regarded as disposable property by her family, and the children, who have multiple male influences raising them, and there is no such thing as an orphan. Prior to DNA testing the only way a man could guarantee his heir was actually his child was to essentially enslave the mother.

    Even if true, it must be told that "black Egyptians" were post Dynastic rulers or previously Egyptian states to the south that considered themselves Egyptian after they became part of Egypt. They are not the original Dynastic rulers. Every culture diversifies over time, over extremely stressful moments of history, war, or migration, either ancient or modern (i.e. China is a collection of former native peoples now considered one people, and Japan was created from 3 cultures merging into one), and Egypt is no different over it's thousands of years of rule.

    The human race originated in what is now norway. They looked like dolph lundgren. As they dispersed southward, their skin got darker and they developed brown eyes and kinky woolly hair. Eventually they arrived in Africa, and today there's still a small remnant of this original human group. With the possible exception of the Ainu of Japan, and also the unfortunate wretches who live in Brooklyn, all other modern humans are a hybrid blend of all other haplogroups, including a certain percentage of neanderthal. Fun fact: MTG is an atavism, with at least 95% neanderthal DNA...

    After a few generations they would have seen deformities and weakness. If they suddenly disappeared from the archeology, the greater part of the population may have left as their ruling class (presuming that's what they were) died off or were too disabled to function. On the other hand, these two skeletons prove nothing. It may have been just this one person who resulted from incest. It does not mean it was a way of life.

    Don't flatter yourself: there's a huge population of a certain religion that still considers it normal to marry off first cousins. Historically it was a normal practice among commoners all over the world as well, not just the ruling class, because it ensured what little you owned didn't get divided between several families. It also takes many generations of inbreeding to cause something like the Habsburg jaw, if memory serves right, the chance of having a disabled child is something like 1,8% for (healthy) unrelated people and 5% for siblings (so a huge leap, but still extremely low) - think of it this way: we hunted some species almost to exctintion (like the European Wisent), but managed to get them back from just a few individuals to populations of several hundreds or even thousands, and even though they are all closely related, they don't show signs of inbreeding.

    10k years is nothing in geologic time, or even how long modern humans have been considered modern. We've found archaeological sites older than 10k years over in Turkey. They reflect an early transition between hunter gatherer and early farming, but would mostly be still considered hunter gatherers who formed larger communities. It's nearly entirely dependent on the stability of the environment, and this stability has held until even today. Prior to 12k years or so ago, the ice age maximums had severely disrupted settlements in Europe which has created large gaps in available research and evidence.

    38:15 No. During the winter of the northern hemisphere, the earth is actually at its closest point to the sun. Distance does not relate directly to surface temperature, rather it's the amount of "solar rays" per surface or energy intake per surface, usually measured in Watts per square meter. In winter it's colder because of the tilt of the earth's axis, making it so that less energy per area hits the earth's surface while in summer it's the other way round. this is also why on or near the equator there are no seasons (at least not like in Europe with spring, summer, autumn, winter). there, the angle of the light hitting the earth is always around 90°. reduce that by a small amount and you start to experience seasons. it's that simple. it has nothing to do with distance. why? the earth's radius is 6350ish km. morning and evening you are by definition that much farther from the sun. do you experience seasons during 1 day? or really great temperature changes EACH and EVERY day? no. thus distance is not the main reason for seasons. 44:15 No. That's actually a modern misconception. For the Pharaoh, it was tradition to adopt close relatives or lovers into the family's inner circle thus becoming "brothers and sisters". Then such a "sister" who was not related by birth at all could become one of the wives of the Pharaoh and maybe even the ḥmt nswt wrt (Great Royal Wife). And lo and behold: Even if the Pharaoh married such a "sister", it didn't mean they actually had sex together. Most of times this was to either legitimize authority or to increase the pool of possible candidates because, unlike the Habsburg monarchy, ancient egyptians knew of the danger of incest and did like described to avoid it. No fast forward millennia to usual people like you and me and scientists: "Oh, brother and sister married? That must mean incest" ...... no, not particularly. It can and it definitely happened (heck, it's still happening or should I say: Fritzlning), but it wasn't a thing in ancient egypt.
