This video presents a novel and surprising analysis of the Minoan archaeogenetic data published by other authors earlier (J. R. Hughey et al., 2013; J. Lazaridis et al. 2017). The data comes from the Odigitria Tholos Tomb, which is a mostly Early Minoan site, and the Charalambos Cave ossuary, which is a Middle Minoan site. The data analyis leads to a surprising conclusion regarding the distinct origin of these two groups of Minoans. The presentation is based on the following journal article:
