Maybe other people feel that way, and want some kind of connection they can point to. Americans have to look a number of generations back. Europeans would have an easier time of it.<br /><br />When you stop and think about it, it seems rather odd that in PC-world everybody is supposed to be the same, just socialized differently, but somehow the descendants of those Beaker folk are uniquely bad.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-514518240854511992019-03-20T18:37:56.284-04:002019-03-20T18:37:56.284-04:00According to, Francis Pryor (I think), shortly aft...According to, Francis Pryor (I think), shortly after Stonehenge was completed, there was a collapse, a contraction of the agricultural landscape and of the population. Lots of theories, don't know if there is a consensus. But then shortly after the contraction, came the Beakers. Those involved in the Beaker DNA survey are hypothesizing a 90% replacement of the Neolithic European farmers. That's pretty staggering. Beakers are presumed to have initially originated in Central Asia and brought horses, wagons, early metallurgy, Indo-European languages, lactose tolerance, a greater emphasis on individuality and caste, plague and greater resistance to plague. I think the DNA surveys of ancient remains are the most exciting development in archeology and anthropology, thanks to the amazing reduction in cost. The latest survey out of ancient Iberria is even more telling. It looks like almost total IndoEuropean male replacement. Like, a commenter said, I think on West Hunter or Razib Khan, explain a plague that only kills male farmers. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288007567973279023noreply@blogger.com
