New analysis upends the traditional understanding of bees' origins.
From there, they gradually spread through southeast Europe into East Africa and Arabia around 660,000 years ago, eventually making their way south into sub-Saharan Africa roughly 192,000 years ago.
Analogous to a family tree, the DNA sequences evolved as the bees ventured into distinct regions, allowing Carr to retrace their path. His analysis demonstrated that the honey bees' origin lay in northern Europe, with subsequent changes occurring as they migrated southward. Kathleen Dogantzis, a honey bee genetics expert at York University in Canada, remarked, "More subspecies is definitely always better as it helps uncover different patterns we haven't seen before." While Dogantzis disagreed with Carr's conclusions, she acknowledged that his results were ultimately in line with studies suggesting West Asia or North Africa as the bee's birthplace.
