abstract = {{Archaeogenetic studies have described two main genetic turnover events in {\textless}br{\textgreater}prehistoric western Eurasia: one associated with the spread of farming and a sedentary {\textless}br{\textgreater}lifestyle starting around 7000{\textendash}6000 bc (refs. 1{\textendash}3) and a second with the expansion {\textless}br{\textgreater}of pastoralist groups from the Eurasian steppes starting around 3300 bc (refs. 4,5). {\textless}br{\textgreater}The period between these events saw new economies emerging on the basis of key {\textless}br{\textgreater}innovations, including metallurgy, wheel and wagon and horse domestication6{\textendash}9. {\textless}br{\textgreater}However, what happened between the demise of the Copper Age settlements around {\textless}br{\textgreater}4250 bc and the expansion of pastoralists remains poorly understood. To address this {\textless}br{\textgreater}question, we analysed genome-wide data from 135 ancient individuals from the contact {\textless}br{\textgreater}zone between southeastern Europe and the northwestern Black Sea region spanning {\textless}br{\textgreater}this critical time period. While we observe genetic continuity between Neolithic and {\textless}br{\textgreater}Copper Age groups from major sites in the same region, from around 4500 bc on, {\textless}br{\textgreater}groups from the northwestern Black Sea region carried varying amounts of mixed {\textless}br{\textgreater}ancestries derived from Copper Age groups and those from the forest/steppe zones, {\textless}br{\textgreater}indicating genetic and cultural contact over a period of around 1,000 years earlier than {\textless}br{\textgreater}anticipated. We propose that the transfer of critical innovations between farmers and {\textless}br{\textgreater}transitional foragers/herders from different ecogeographic zones during this early {\textless}br{\textgreater}contact was integral to the formation, rise and expansion of pastoralist groups around {\textless}br{\textgreater}3300 bc.}},
