The Scandinavians are more closely related to the first Europeans than, say, French or Germans. It shows the mapping of the "first européen '- a 37,000 year-old skeleton.
The skeleton belonged to a man who lived in Kostenki in today's Russia. The survey, which was recently presented in the journal Science, shows that the man is considered to be a European.
From a genetic point of view, he is a European. In fact, he is more closely related to the Danes, Swedes, Finns and Russians, than the French, Germans or Spaniards, says Eske Willerslev, director of the Center for GeoGenetik at the University of Copenhagen and one of the researchers behind the study, the Science Nordic.
The purpose of the survey was to find out when the dividing line between the peoples who became Europeans and Asians occurred. Together with other finds, including a bone from Siberia, scientists believe that this distinction arose sometime between 37 000 and 45 000 years ago.
