Iberian culture

The study forms a complex picture of the genetic history of Race Iberians one that’s reinforced in a companion piece published in the journal Current Biology. In that study, researchers from Spain and Germany found that hunter-gatherers and farmers living on the Iberian Peninsula also were more genetically diverse than previously thought. They found evidence that different hunter-gatherer cultures mixed on the warm Iberian Peninsula, which they used as an Ice Age refuge 19,000 years ago. Newer farmers to the area mixed with the hunter-gatherers later. The oldest known human DNA is Iberians comes from a 19,000-year-old skeleton found in 2010 in a cave called El Mirón, in northern Spain. The skeletons belonged to a man and woman, a member of a band of Ice Age hunter-gatherers.
