Who are we? Where do we come from? What makes us different from others? These questions are more pressing today than ever before. Johannes Krause and Thomas Trappe go back to prehistory to answer them and tell us how we became the Europeans we are today.
Migration and migratory flows are not phenomena of our time. Since the moment humans stood on their two feet, they began to move from their cradle, Africa, to all over the world and Europe. This journey was almost unknown to us until recently, but new genetic methods are bringing it to light.
Johannes Krause, one of the leading scientists in this field, and Thomas Trappe explain what our genes say about our origins. Are there "primitive" peoples? When did Europeans lose their darker skin tone? What role did the Balkan route play over the last 40,000 years?
A great story that shows that Europe cannot be imagined without the immigrants who have been coming here from all directions for thousands of years, bringing something new each time.
