Your DNA Story Matches: Early Farmer

Starting around 6000 BCE, farming communities descended from Anatolian populations began spreading into Europe along two main routes — one hugging the Mediterranean coast, the other following the Danube river valley, associated with the distinctive pottery of the Linearbandkeramik culture. They brought cereal farming, animal domestication, and permanent settlements. Sardinia still carries an unusually well-preserved genetic profile close to these early farmers, having absorbed less of the later steppe migration. Your answers landed closest to the profile associated with this population.
