They were farmers who populated Crete simultaneously with the population
of Europe. "Findings suggest that the Minoan civilisation arose from the
population already living in Crete, and that these people were probably
descendants of the first humans to reach there about 9,000 years ago.
Further, they found, the remains have the greatest genetic similarity
with modern European populations."
