Synopsis
Recent geological and archeological surveys of our territory and genetic studies of the population facilitate a deeper understanding of the Lithuanian nation formation. The interface of sciences gives rise to a new hypothesis of the Lithuanians' origin, temper, and genetic characteristics, which predetermine the traits of character and hereditary diseases. Based on such genetic information, scientists can be more specific in establishing how nations used to migrate around the world, while health professionals can diagnose hereditary diseases and disease risks more efficiently.
