自从第一批遗传数据出现以来，新石器时代的进程一直是欧洲人群遗传多样性分布的基础，这一直是激烈辩论的主题。然而，在当前欧洲基因库中观察到的模式是旧石器时代和新石器时代过程的结果，并覆盖了四千年的进一步发展。这一观察结果鼓励古遗传学家通过直接比较古代欧洲居民与当代欧洲居民的遗传变异，为这场争论做出贡献。欧洲北部和西北部人口的前新石器时代和新石器时代的古遗传学数据越来越多。尽管古遗传学方法存在许多固有的问题，但古代DNA数据集的积累为解释狩猎采集者和农业社区之间的相互作用提供了新的视角。根据来自不同学科的信息，包括最近的古遗传学研究，解释中欧新石器时代先锋群体迁移的最合理的模型是跨越式迁移。
Neolithic processes underlying the distribution of genetic diversity among European populations have been the subject of intense debate since the first genetic data became available. However, patterns observed in the current European gene pool are the outcome of Paleolithic and Neolithic processes, overlaid with four millennia of further developments. This observation encouraged paleogeneticists to contribute to the debate by directly comparing genetic variation from the ancient inhabitants of Europe to their contemporary counterparts. Pre-Neolithic and Neolithic paleogenetic data are becoming increasingly available for north and northwest European populations. Despite the numerous problems inherent in the paleogenetic approach, the accumulation of ancient DNA datasets offers new perspectives from which to interpret the interactions between hunter-gatherer and farming communities. In light of information emerging from diverse disciplines, including recent paleogenetic studies, the most plausible model explaining the movement of Neolithic pioneer groups in central Europe is that of leapfrog migration.
