Abstract

We are used to seeing documentaries where groups of hunter-gatherers appear in environments such as deserts or jungles that are exotic to us; however, just 8,000 years ago all the inhabitants of Europe were also hunter-gatherers. This way of life disappeared with the arrival of the Neolithic, which had originated in the Near East about two thousand years earlier
