Europeans are Descendants of at least three Ancient Human Groups: Study By Mary Elizabeth Dallas, HealthDay Reporter WEDNESDAY, Sept. 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Present-day Europeans are the descendants of at least three groups of ancient humans, according to a new study. Previous research suggested that Europeans descended from indigenous hunter- gatherers and early European farmers. But, a new genetic analysis involving ancient bone samples revealed they are also the descendants of Ancient North Eurasians. Nearly all present-day Europeans have genetic material from this third ancestral group, researchers from Harvard Medical School said. Keep reading and following the steps below each slide. 3a.
