Dr. Kayser believes that the "pattern of genetic differences among present day Europeans probably reflects the impact of three ancient migrations:" the first 45,000 years ago when the first modern humans entered Europe from the south; the second 17,000 years ago by people returning from southern refuges; and the third around 10,000 years ago when people brought agricultural technology from the Middle East.
