 'Lady in the well' sheds light on
ancient human population movements
West Asia, which includes Anatolia (present-day Turkey), the
Northern Levant and the Southern Caucasus is seen in a partial
map obtained by Reuters June 1, 2020. An international team of
researchers showed populations from Anatolia and the Caucasus
started genetically mixing around 6,500 BC and that small
migration events from Mesopotamia 4,000 years ago brought
further genetic mixture to the region. The orange marker shows
the route from Central Asia. DNA from a lone ancient woman
revealed proof of long distance migration during the late Bronze
age about 4,000 years ago from Central Asia to the Mediterranean
Coast. Courtesy of Max Planck-Harvard Research center for the
