According to A. Urnikytė, the first human traces found on the territory of present-day Lithuania are around 11 thousand. years ago. Then when the glaciers melted, the conditions for people to live in Lithuania became favorable.
Archaeological finds from this period are also of interest to geneticists. Lithuanian geneticists found out where these early Lithuanians came from and moved to Lithuania in several waves, whether later arrivals displaced the former inhabitants or developed close to them.
This was done by comparing the data from 399 Lithuanian genomes currently living with the genomes of 284 ancient people, isolated from the remains of people from different periods and places found by archaeologists.
