“DNA analysis revealed that deer on Scotland's northernmost islands were unlikely to have come from the closest and seemingly most obvious places -- mainland Scotland, Ireland or Norway, said a study in the Royal Society journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
"’Our results imply that Neolithic humans were transporting deer considerable distances, by sea, from an unknown source’ some 4,500-5,500 years ago, co-author David Stanton of Cardiff University told AFP by email.
"’These results are surprising... The evidence suggests that we have misunderstood our relationship with this species,’ he added.”
