Scientists from the University of Mainz in Germany made an amazing discovery thanks to the skulls found in Iran. It destroyed the established opinion regarding the "Aryan" origin of the inhabitants of Europe.
An article published in the scientific journal Science proves, through the skulls of primitive farmers and the DNA obtained from them, the inability of the hypothesis that the first European settlers belonged to the ancient peoples who lived in Iran and Anatolia 10-12 thousand years ago.
Currently, it is believed that the first farmers in Europe are the descendants of the inhabitants of the Middle East, who moved to an unknown subcontinent. This version of the origin of the European race was borrowed by the Nazis for their own purposes in the first place among which was the "proof of the Aryan" origin of the peoples of Western Europe, which elevates them above the rest of the population of the globe.
A team of scientists led by Joachim Burger denied the kinship of Europeans with the descendants of this group of farmers. Initially, scientists set themselves the task of confirming the version that the descendants of European farmers can be considered the ancient inhabitants of Turkey and Iran. However, the reality turned out to be diametrically opposite, and all the studies carried out indicate the opposite.
In the course of scientific work, scientists made two conclusions: first, Europeans cannot be considered the descendants of the first Iranian farmers; second, in that region at the end of the Stone Age, several groups lived separately, which developed agricultural skills almost simultaneously, and then migrated in different directions.
