Perhaps ancient groups were not as isolated as we thought.

Spreading goods, food, ideas which were improved and enhanced.

Perhaps there was more interconnection between ancient peoples than we imagined.

Some of the new DNA studies suggest that the Vikings traveled further and more extensively
and for a longer period than we realized. Same thing with the Asians and the Pacific mainlands and islands.
