Ancient DNA reveals Europe's dynamic genetic history

[HiThere]

"ACAD Director Professor Alan Cooper says: "What is intriguing is that the genetic markers of this first pan-European culture, which was clearly very successful, were then suddenly replaced around 4500 years ago, and we don't know why. Something major happened, and the hunt is now on to find out what that was."

In this case I can see that it would, perhaps, be slightly overkill to publish it for the third time.
