From here:
Much of the Early European Farmers’ population died from plague. This disease hit Europe for the first time in the Copper Age. The British Islands also suffered environmental collapse at about the same time. Indo-European-speaking herders subsequently moved into the vacant areas. However, this did not happen entirely peacefully as we have found victims of massacres from both groups. But for the most part the pre-existing farmer population was culturally absorbed by the herders. In some areas the languages of the Early European Farmers lived on into historical times. Several are documented in writing although only Basque survives today.
I do not have an idea how accurate that statement is. I didn't know that and it's extremely interesting...
