The British gene is associated with Iraqis and Syrians

A recent study shows that more than 10,000 years ago most British were descendants of farmers migrating from Iraq and Syria.

From 8000 BC, farmers from Iraq and Syria have built up primitive communities in the UK.

After studying the DNA of more than 2,000 men, scientists say they have compelling evidence to conclude that 4 out of 5 white European men have a type of DNA linked to residents of the Mediterranean coast, Persian Gulf, Iraq, Israel and Southeastern Turkey.

This discovery sheds light on the most important stages of human history - the period when the ancient people abandoned hunting and began breeding.

The inventions in agriculture created the first towns and opened a civilization.

The University of Leicester studied a common genetic mutation on the Y chromosome - DNA transmitted from father to son. The researchers showed that 80% of European men share a Y chromosome mutation and after analyzing how mutations can be distributed across Europe, they were able to recall the path of human settlement. Europe about 8000 years BC.

The farmers migrated in the West and they began to master proficiency in making metal tools. Therefore, they began settling in England and Ireland.

Researchers believe that farmers migrate to villages and teach local people how to cultivate. The ability to create food makes migrants become attractive partners, which in turn leads to DNA relationships.
