While the series of events that shaped the transition between foraging societies and food producers are well described for Central and Southern Europe, genetic evidence from Northern Europe surrounding the Baltic Sea is still sparse. Here, we report genome-wide DNA data from 38 ancient North Europeans ranging from ~9500 to 2200 years before present. Our analysis provides genetic evidence that hunter-gatherers settled Scandinavia via two routes. We reveal that the first Scandinavian farmers derive their ancestry from Anatolia 1000 years earlier than previously demonstrated. The range of Mesolithic Western hunter-gatherers extended to the east of the Baltic Sea, where these populations persisted without gene-flow from Central European farmers during the Early and Middle Neolithic. The arrival of steppe pastoralists in the Late Neolithic introduced a major shift in economy and mediated the spread of a new ancestry associated with the Corded Ware Complex in Northern Europe.
虽然中欧和南欧从觅食社会向食物生产者转变的一系列事件已有详尽描述，但波罗的海周边北欧地区的基因证据仍然稀少。在此，我们报告了38位古代北欧人的全基因组DNA数据，时间跨度约为距今9500年至2200年。我们的分析提供了基因证据，表明狩猎采集者通过两条路线定居斯堪的纳维亚半岛。我们发现，第一批斯堪的纳维亚农民的祖先来自安纳托利亚，比之前证明的时间早1000年。中石器时代西方狩猎采集者的活动范围扩展到波罗的海以东，在新石器时代早期和中期，这些人群在没有与中欧农民发生基因流动的情况下持续存在。新石器时代晚期草原牧民的到来带来了经济上的重大转变，并促成了与北欧绳纹陶文化相关的新血统的传播。
