Ancient DNA Reveals a Tragic Genocide Hidden in Humanity's Past

The invaders were from Central Asia.

But regardless we are all one human race, one blood, but different languages and cultures.

its happening right now in Scandinavia...

A TRIBE who swept into Europe thousands of years ago and whose descendants wiped out ancient Britons could be the most violent and aggressive society ever, it was claimed.

The Yamnaya were a group of livestock herders who lived north of the Black Sea and in the Caucasus mountains in modern day Russia and Ukraine.

The group and their descendants arrived in Europe between 4000 and 5000 years ago, New Scientist reports.

At the time Europe had been ravaged by disease, eroding the population’s ability to resist the powerfully built and aggressive Yamnaya horseback warriors. They overwhelmed smaller Europeans and the Yamnaya culture as well as their DNA soon spread throughout the continent.

According archaeologist Kristian Kristiansen, after they brought with their brutal practices there appears to have been a sharp upsurge in lethal violence.

“I’ve become increasingly convinced there must have been a kind of genocide,” said Professor Kristiansen.

He said the Yamnaya lived mostly on meat and milk products which made them “healthier and probably physically quite strong”.

It has been claimed that when the Yamnaya invaded they massacred all the males and impregnated the women in order to rapidly further their bloodlines.

Someone is owed reparation! Or has a grievance or something...

“Sounds familiar...”

Sounds like Russification and the Islamic replacement.

“Focusing on one specific region – that just so happens to have a climate suitable for both foraging and farming, and preserving human remains...”

So how do they know there was a genocide? How do they know the hunter-gatherers didn’t just move on?

“Completely displace” does not necessarily mean “wipe out.” In some instances, that could indeed be the case, if the original inhabitants stuck around and fought to the end. But hunter-gatherer peoples tend to be semi- or highly nomadic. In some places, they might have been in the early stages of settling down to agriculture themselves and would be more stubborn about land. In other cases, they might occupy an exceptionally rich area — think about some of the tribes in the Pacific Northwest when the Europeans first showed up — and be reluctant to leave. But for nomadic peoples, drifting away from settlement pressure is the other option.

We have a direct analogue to the situation in northern Europe in the European settlement of North America, Australia, and the lands suitable for agriculture in southern Africa and as far north as Kenya. The ripple effect operated far in advance of the settlement line. (As did the disease wave that annihilated the Native American peoples.) Eventually the fleeing survivors will reach the end of the world, where there is nowhere left to run. That is where they either die out or submit.

This explains the Irish.

One can’t look for DNA traces of the earliest inhabitants only in place X. One also has to look for traces anywhere the earliest peoples might have moved. Those gaps are very slowly filling in, but this is a slow process. We won’t live to see it done. The story is going to get rewritten many times before it settles.

It’s the most murderous.

That's why muzzles and africans are taking over the Earth.

What lengths they will go to in order to malign farmers and make it a crime to grow food.....

[Alas Babylon!]

No, they would have been Indo-Europeans at that point.

The Yamnaya culture were the Indo-Europeans.

The Western migration would produce the Germanic, Italic, Celtic, Slavic and Greek branches, among others.

It was the Germanic branch that moved into Scandanavia.

***The narrative will be that the original Scandinavians were a peaceful people of color***

Much like the American Indian before the White Man arrived. Peaceful, got along well with other tribes. Did not scalp or torture. Did the Happy Dancewith each other. So we were taught all through the 1970s.
Then was found just the opposite. This is a very short list. I have many other links.

Reminds me of a paperback book I saw for sale fifty years ago. BLACK VIKING.

Ha, ha, ha. Another fantasy cuirass with boob bumps. They channel a sword thrust right into the heart.

This is why women don’t fight and/or wear armor — and survive their first melee.

[bobbo666]

Uhh, so it is a tragedy that roaming brigands were wiped out so that agriculture could flourish and fuel civilization?
