Your haplogroup spread with the first farmers.
E-M5021
The spread of agriculture transformed the way of life in Europe.
Your paternal line stems from a branch of E-M215 called E-M5021. Men bearing this lineage migrated from the Balkans to southwestern Europe during the spread of agriculture by early farmers in the agricultural revolution, which began about 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent. Early members of your haplogroup, some of the world’s first farmers, had a competitive advantage over native men, who didn’t have farming technology. As a result of this advantage, your haplogroup became widespread and populous during the agricultural revolution. The effects of this ancient advantage are still seen today, with your haplogroup being represented from Portugal and Spain to Palestine, southern Africa, and Russia.
