整个欧洲的中石器时代的人们采用了多种资源开发策略，主要集中在收集和狩猎野生猎物。公元前 5500 年至 4200 年之间，农业学家迁移到欧洲西北部，带来了包括驯养动物在内的一系列新石器时代技术。在这里，我们调查了德国北部中石器时代的 Ertebølle 社区在多大程度上能够获得家猪，可能是通过与邻近的新石器时代农业群体的接触。我们采用多学科方法，对来自 17 个新石器时代和 Ertebølle 遗址的 Sus 标本进行古代线粒体和核 DNA（皮毛颜色编码基因 MC1R）测序以及传统和几何形态测量（摩尔大小和形状）分析。我们从 63 个古代猪样本中获得的数据表明，Ertebølle 狩猎采集者获得了不同大小和毛色的家猪，这些猪同时具有近东和欧洲的线粒体 DNA 血统。我们的研究结果还表明，家猪出现在该地区的时间比之前证实的早约 500 年。 目前尚不清楚西北欧何时引入动物驯化。作者在这里提供了证据，表明德国北部的中石器时代狩猎采集者已经拥有家猪，而且猪出现在该地区的时间比之前认为的要早约 500 年。
Mesolithic populations throughout Europe used diverse resource exploitation strategies that focused heavily on collecting and hunting wild prey. Between 5500 and 4200 cal BC, agriculturalists migrated into northwestern Europe bringing a suite of Neolithic technologies including domesticated animals. Here we investigate to what extent Mesolithic Ertebølle communities in northern Germany had access to domestic pigs, possibly through contact with neighbouring Neolithic agricultural groups. We employ a multidisciplinary approach, applying sequencing of ancient mitochondrial and nuclear DNA (coat colour-coding gene MC1R) as well as traditional and geometric morphometric (molar size and shape) analyses in Sus specimens from 17 Neolithic and Ertebølle sites. Our data from 63 ancient pig specimens show that Ertebølle hunter-gatherers acquired domestic pigs of varying size and coat colour that had both Near Eastern and European mitochondrial DNA ancestry. Our results also reveal that domestic pigs were present in the region ~500 years earlier than previously demonstrated. It is still not clear when the introduction of animal domestication in northwestern Europe occurred. Here the authors provide evidence that Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in Northern Germany already possessed domestic pigs, and pigs were present in the region ~500 years earlier than previously thought.
