Ancient DNA has provided scientists with a much better understanding of where the people who built Stonehenge came from.
A study has found that ancestors of the Stonehenge builders traveled west across the Mediterranean from modern-day Turkey before they arrived in Britain.
London-based researchers extracted DNA from Neolithic human remains found in Britain and compared it with DNA from European remains from the same time period.
Ancestors of the Stonehenge architects are thought to have reached Britain in 4,000 BC, almost 1,000 years before Stonehenge was built.
There is a lot of evidence to indicate that ancient people traveled from Anatolia, which is modern-day Turkey, and across Europe in 6,000 BC.
As these people traveled, they spread the practice of farming with them throughout the continent.
Some of the ancient farmers are said to have traveled through Europe along the river Danube but other groups traveled west across Europe by walking along the coastline or island hopping on boats.
