Archaeological evidence puts a unique population at around 6000 BCE who where Neolithic Farmers and where immigrants to Ireland from the south likely through Spain. This population is most similar in appearance to modern people in Sardinia. Traces of the previous population are noted in DNA research but not a significant amount.

The romantic idea is conflict (epic battles) but it seems more likely that a tiny hunter gather population was simply supplanted as the most abundant population by the more populous and stable farming population. As is always the case there is sign of intermingling so whatever the relationship between them the result was a new age and a new people.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.heathen.group/old-kb/codex/irish/folklore/peoples/research-note/neolithic-farmers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
