  Evidence published in 2014 from genome analysis of ancient human remains suggests that the modern native populations of Europe largely descend from three distinct lineages: " Western Hunter-Gatherers ", derivative of the Cro-Magnon population of Europe, Early European Farmers introduced to Europe from the Near East during the Neolithic Revolution and Ancient North Eurasians who expanded to Europe in the context of the Indo-European expansion. The Ancient North Eurasian component was introduced to Western Europe by people related to the Yamnaya culture. Additional ANE ancestry is found in European populations through Paleolithic interactions with Eastern Hunter-Gatherers.
