In Europe, the Middle Neolithic is characterized by an important diversification
of cultures. In northeastern France, the appearance of the Michelsberg culture
has been correlated with major cultural changes and interpreted as the result of
the settlement of new groups originating from the Paris Basin. This cultural
transition has been accompanied by the expansion of particular funerary practices
involving inhumations within circular pits and individuals in "non-conventional"
positions (deposited in the pits without any particular treatment). If the status
of such individuals has been highly debated, the sacrifice hypothesis has been
retained for the site of Gougenheim (Alsace). At the regional level, the analysis
of the Gougenheim mitochondrial gene pool (SNPs and HVR-I sequence analyses)
permitted us to highlight a major genetic break associated with the emergence of
the Michelsberg in the region. This genetic discontinuity appeared to be linked
to new affinities with farmers from the Paris Basin, correlated to a noticeable
hunter-gatherer legacy. All of the evidence gathered supports (i) the occidental
origin of the Michelsberg groups and (ii) the potential implication of this
migration in the progression of the hunter-gatherer legacy from the Paris Basin
to Alsace / Western Germany at the beginning of the Late Neolithic. At the local
level, we noted some differences in the maternal gene pool of individuals in
"conventional" vs. "non-conventional" positions. The relative genetic isolation
of these sub-groups nicely echoes both their social distinction and the
hypothesis of sacrifices retained for the site. Our investigation demonstrates
that a multi-scale aDNA study of ancient communities offers a unique opportunity
to disentangle the complex relationships between cultural and biological
evolution.
