Ammerman and Cavalli-Sforza discovered a linear relationship between the age of an Early Neolithic site and its distance from the conventional source in the Near East , thus demonstrating that, on average, the Neolithic spread at a constant speed of about 1 km/yr. [26] More recent studies confirm these results and yield the speed of 0.6–1.3 ...
