Genomes from Verteba cave suggest diversity within the Trypillians in Ukraine

Scientific Reports, 2022
The transition to agriculture occurred relatively late in Eastern Europe, leading researchers to debate whether it was a gradual, interactive process or a colonisation event. In the forest and forest-steppe regions of Ukraine, farming appeared during the
