Tradici��n e innovaciones en la comentar��stica medieval y del Renacimiento

[ES] Cada vez son m��s habituales las voces que intentan amortiguar las estridencias contrastivas entre Edad Media y Renacimiento, sobre todo cuando en lo menudo de una actividad tan elemental como la gramatical del comentario de textos la estabilidad de las contundentes ant��tesis resulta dif��cil asegurarla. Apoy��ndose en textos representativos del pensamiento tanto te��rico como pr��ctico al respecto de la declaraci��n de autores, el autor del presente art��culo prefiere alinearse con los que de un tiempo a esta parte intentan conciliar matizadamente las divergencias -alegorizaci��n/historicidad; historicidad/clasicidad- aun dentro del mismo per��odo renacentista. Sin desatender la enorme lecci��n de los humanistas sobre lo que debe ser una cabal filolog��a, concebida no como conocimiento autosuficiente, sino como ��mbito privilegiado desde donde confluir con infinidad de otros, a mayores el de la vida.

Ancient DNA from South-East Europe Reveals Different Events during Early and Middle Neolithic Influencing the European Genetic Heritage

The importance of the process of Neolithization for the genetic make-up of European populations has been hotly debated, with shifting hypotheses from a demic diffusion (DD) to a cultural diffusion (CD) model. In this regard, ancient DNA data from the Balkan Peninsula, which is an important source of information to assess the process of Neolithization in Europe, is however missing. In the present study we show genetic information on ancient populations of the South-East of Europe. We assessed mtDNA from ten sites from the current territory of Romania, spanning a time-period from the Early Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age. mtDNA data from Early Neolithic farmers of the Starcevo Cris culture in Romania (Carcea, Gura Baciului and Negrilesti sites), confirm their genetic relationship with those of the LBK culture (Linienbandkeramik Kultur) in Central Europe, and they show little genetic continuity with modern European populations. On the other hand, populations of the Middle-Late Neolithic (Boian, Zau and Gumelnita cultures), supposedly a second wave of Neolithic migration from Anatolia, had a much stronger effect on the genetic heritage of the European populations. In contrast, we find a smaller contribution of Late Bronze Age migrations to the genetic composition of Europeans. Based on these findings, we propose that permeation of mtDNA lineages from a second wave of Middle-Late Neolithic migration from North-West Anatolia into the Balkan Peninsula and Central Europe represent an important contribution to the genetic shift between Early and Late Neolithic populations in Europe, and consequently to the genetic make-up of modern European populations.
