Genome VC32 from Vinča-Belo Brdo (5616-5477 BC) carried Y-DNA G2a and mtDNA HV, placing him firmly among Anatolian-descended farmers. All three Gomolava males also showed G2a. Indigenous hunter-gatherer admixture hit ~50% at Iron Gates sites, but these G2a paternal lineages were later replaced by steppe R1b/R1a around 3000 BC. 🧬

Key facts
- Genome VC32 from Vinča-Belo Brdo dates to 5616-5477 BC, belonging to the underlying Starčevo occupation
- VC32 carried Y-DNA G2a and mitochondrial DNA HV, placing him close to Neolithic Anatolian farmers
- Indigenous Balkan hunter-gatherers contributed up to 10% ancestry generally, but around 50/50 at the Iron Gates
- All three Vinča males from Gomolava carry G2a Y-DNA, a signature Anatolian farmer paternal lineage
- G2a-heavy Neolithic paternal populations were later overwhelmingly replaced by R1b/R1a steppe-derived lineages around 3,000 BC
