The newcomers were genetically most similar to ancient individuals from Gaul and had higher levels of Early European Farmers ancestry. [27] From 1000 to 875 BC, their genetic marker swiftly spread through southern Britain, [28] which made up around half the ancestry of subsequent Iron Age people in that area, but not in northern Britain.

Modern humans ventured into northern Europe under extremely cold climate conditions and were living side by side with Neanderthals more than 45,000 years ago, according to new evidence.
