the cucuteni-trypillia culture of the eneolithic balkans and eastern europe is best know for its mega-settlements or proto-cities, each one featuring hundreds of homes, temples and other structures, and likely to have been inhabited by as many as 20,000 people. but from around 3,400 bc these mega-settlements were no longer being built, and a few hundred years later the cucuteni-trypillia culture vanished. two main out-migration by its people as a result of environmental impacts from rapid climate change (see here lack of hard evidence in their support. now, another potential explanation is being offered, and it is supported by hard evidence. according to rascovan et al., the plague may have been a key factor in the decline of not only the cucuteni-trypillia culture, but much of > between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, many neolithic societies declined > throughout western eurasia due to a combination of factors that are > still largely debated. here, we report the discovery and genome > reconstruction of yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of plague, > in neolithic fa*mers in sweden, pre-dating and basal to all modern > and ancient known strains of this pathogen. we investigated the > history of this strain by combining phylogenetic and molecular clock > an*lyses of the bacterial genome, detailed archaeological > information, and genomic an*lyses from infected individuals and > hundreds of ancient human samples across eurasia. these an*lyses. > revealed that multiple and independent lineages of y. pestis > branched and expanded across eurasia during the neolithic decline,. > spreading most likely through early trade networks rather than > mas*ive human migrations. our results are consistent with the. > existence of a prehistoric plague pandemic that likely contributed > to the decay of neolithic populations in europe. ... in this work,
