Co-author Iñigo Olalde, from Harvard Medical School, US, said: "It would be a mistake to jump to the conclusion that Iberian men were killed or forcibly displaced." He added: "The archaeological record gives no clear evidence of a burst of violence in this period."

Instead, the high social status of male newcomers may have been linked to greater reproductive success. "Their male descendants would have inherited the wealth and social status, and themselves also had much higher reproductive success," Dr Olalde told BBC News.

A system that emphasised male power and inheritance could have been key: "A patrilineal and possibly patriarchal social structure would further amplify the observed patterns, as possibly only the first-born son would inherit the clan's properties, whereas the other sons would move out and try to established their own clans, further spreading their Y lineages over new territories," he said.

An even more extreme pattern of replacement occurred at much the same time in Britain, where Beakers replaced 90% of the overall ancestry that was there before they arrived.

If, like many around the world, you were saddened that the 856-year-old Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris had been partially gutted by a fire, the good news is that you can find an exact replica in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.

There is a theme park there called Window of the World, where the majestic Gothic cathedral is near the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Louvre Pyramid.
