All European men trace their patrilineal line to the area that is roughly Ukraine today. What happened? Most of the local European men, who were mixtures of western hunter-gatherers and Anatolian farmers .... were killed or out-competed for the women. Why? The step herders were not just ferocious; they also stood a head taller and were broader at the shoulders than the local men. Then, they also had horses and chariots. But before the step herders even arrived the black plague burned through Europe—decimating whole populations. Stonehenge was built roughly 3000-2500 BC. Over the next 500 years the populations that built stonehenge was replaced by by descendents of step herders from ukraine.
The signatures of the western hunter gatherers and the anatolian farmers remain in the genetic record because they are carried through euopean women.
CK — “all”??
I don’t think it is “all” — There are four main Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups that account for most of Europe’s patrilineal descent
1. Haplogroup R1b
2. Haplogroup R1a
3. Haplogroup I
4. Haplogroup E1b1b
The Indo-Europeans spread their culture from Ireland to India and Tocharistan and yet they didn’t genocide the previous inhabitants so much as absorb them
