A new paper in PNAS examines genome sequence data from ancient DNA of Iberian farmers, and finds links between these farmers and modern Basques. This contracts some previous suggestions that the Basque are a remnant sub-population, primarily tracing their ancestry to earlier Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. The press release and picture credit are HERE.
