[00:00:00]In northern France, ancient DNA from 132 skeletons at a Neolithic cemetery revealed something shocking. The first population, early European farmers descended from Anatolian migrants, lived here for centuries. Then, around 3,000 BCE, something changes. Mortality [music] spikes, including many children.

[00:00:19]Pathogens appear in the remains. And then, the burials stop completely. For generations, the site is abandoned. When people return centuries later, their DNA is completely different. They are not descendants of the original population.

[00:00:32]This isn't gradual migration. This is a population collapse followed by replacement. Ancient history isn't continuous. It resets.
