The settlement of Europe - the origin of European nations

Ivo Batory

Abstract

The paper discusses the settlement of Europe according to the recent data by two groups of American geneticists, whose research led to the conclusion that today’s Europeans originate from Mesopotamia. The first paper was published in 1984, without attracting much attention. It was only the paper by the second group of American geneticists, published in the “Nature ” magazine in 1991, that provoked a response in scientific circles. The data were in accordance with the earlier stated opinions of B. Hrozni and E. Forrer, thus giving them a considirable credit. Further, the authors describe the raids of Asian horde s on Europe and its Celtic population, which was terrorized in part up to the most recent times. As for the opinion on the origin of the Croats stated here, the author wishes to emphasize that it is by no means the sole opinion, yet the only one that aligns the Croats, as the descendents of the Europe an Celts, undoubtedly with the community of other Europe an nations of Celtic origin.
