Scientists Have Succeeded in Illuminating the History of Agriculture

A group of scientists led by the geneticist Laurent Excoffier, who continues his studies at the University of Bern serving in Switzerland, agriculture explored the origins they conducted a study. As a result of the studies, it was revealed that the history of agriculture was not as in previous researches. According to previous studies of scientists, agriculture has been used for the first time. 12 thousand years ago It was made by a single population in a place called the “Fertile Crescent” between Arabia and the mountainous regions of eastern Anatolia.

TurkeyScientists investigating the prehistoric skeletons found in Greece, Serbia, Austria and Germany revealed that the foundations of agriculture were laid 25 thousand years ago. Hunter-gatherer groups that lived in Europe and the Middle East were separated from each other before the Ice Age. after the Ice Age Reuniting somehow, these groups gave birth to the first people who practiced agriculture when they settled down and mated.

They migrated from Anatolia to Europe 8 thousand years ago.

The study by the international research team How did you get to Europe? has also been revealed. As a result of the investigations, it was understood that some of the farmers living in Anatolia migrated to Europe 8 thousand years ago. However, the reason for this migration was not any war or famine situation. Laurent Excoffier, on the subject “What is driving agriculture further west is really people, was the spread of farming communities.‘ he said.

Studies show that the history of agriculture dates back much earlier than known and that populations get together proved that they laid the foundations of agriculture. However, achieving these results was not easy. In the statements made by the co-author of the study, Joachim Burger, in order to reach this conclusion, worked for 10 years expressed.
