The other GGG topics added since the previous digest ping, alpha sort:
the group analyzed personal adornments worn by people living in the region between 24,000 and 34,000 years ago...
Beatle haircuts didn’t last for ever. Hula-hoops. miniskirts. etc.
SETTLERS!!!!"
Probably none had white skin, either.
Perhaps a little of that, mostly luck of the draw on population rise and fall, natural climate having an impact on migrations, prosperity, and decline.
The backstory of the Elder Days showed a couple of things -- number one, the Elves were giant a-holes, and number two, novelists, being humans, can't write an interesting story about peaceful, workaday, ordinary lives. :^)
I imagine the researchers considered this, but I wonder if the ready availability of materials could explain the differences.
IBTC (creationists)
Hell the people of modern day Roma will pretend they don’t know what you’re saying and laugh at your shoes if your from Monterotando. And Napoli? Fuggetaboutit. Might as well be a space alien. Modern Europe should be so lucky as to have only nine different cultures.
Fascinating stuff. I read that the Leotis People wore big showy necklaces.
I doubt there was much trading going on so these people had to make ornaments out of what was available.
‘the group analyzed personal adornments worn by people living in the region between 24,000 and 34,000 years ago...’
there was a time in my life when I might have believed something like this, but since I’ve learned from freepers that the earth cannot be more than 10,000 years old, tops, well, this can’t be so...
You're wrong again.
:^)
COLONIZERS!!”
SETTLERS!!!!”
Probably none had white skin, either.
Ah yes, the fabled Blingleolithic period...
So at least 9 recognizable tribes?
Actually the hunter gatherers were darker skinned with light eyes. They didn’t need less melanin as they got their vitamin D from animal protein. Which is why modern day Eskimos are brown not pink.
The farmers who came from the middle east to Europe starting 6500 BC were lighter skinned and got paler as they did not get enough vitamin D from plant food .
‘You’re wrong again.’
what, again...? seriously, run a diagnostic on your sarcasm meter..
