关于欧洲人祖先的争论集中在中石器时代的觅食者和新石器时代的农民之间的相互作用上。人们普遍认为，觅食动物在农业出现后不久就消失了。为了调查觅食者和农民之间的关系，我们研究了中石器时代和新石器时代的样本从布拉特霍勒网站。中石器时代的线粒体DNA序列是典型的欧洲觅食者，而新石器时代的样本包括与早期农民有关的其他谱系。然而，同位素分析将新石器时代的样本分为两组：一组是农耕者的饮食，另一组是觅食者和淡水鱼的饮食，后者携带着中石器时代狩猎采集者的典型线粒体DNA序列。这表明中石器时代人的后裔在农耕社会到来后的2000多年里，在中欧保持着觅食的生活方式。
Debate on the ancestry of Europeans centers on the interplay between Mesolithic foragers and Neolithic farmers. Foragers are generally believed to have disappeared shortly after the arrival of agriculture. To investigate the relation between foragers and farmers, we examined Mesolithic and Neolithic samples from the Blatterhohle site. Mesolithic mitochondrial DNA sequences were typical of European foragers, whereas the Neolithic sample included additional lineages that are associated with early farmers. However, isotope analyses separate the Neolithic sample into two groups: one with an agriculturalist diet and one with a forager and freshwater fish diet, the latter carrying mitochondrial DNA sequences typical of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. This indicates that the descendants of Mesolithic people maintained a foraging lifestyle in Central Europe for more than 2000 years after the arrival of farming societies.
