Forwarded from The Chad Pastoralist: History
The Early Europeans Farmers (EEF) were not:
-matrilineal
-matriarchal
-pacifist
-weak and incapable of violence
The EEF were:
-patrilineal
-patriarchal
-innovators and builders
-tribes that slaughtered and enslaved eachother
We must do away with the idea that the EEF were matriarchal pacifists that couldn't fight and sustained themselves solely on grain. The EEF were patrilineal people and viewed their ancestry as stemming from the father of the tribe just as the Western Steppe Herders did, as evidenced by the Neolithic Irish EEF elite buried at Newgrange that belonged to a WHG lineage (I2a), and was inbred so as to preserve WHG phenotypic traits (and subsequently in all likelihood viewed themselves as belonging to the WHG race of their forefathers as well). Additionally, the Talheim Death Pit dating to 5000 BC at the time of the Linear Pottery Culture in Neolithic Germany is one of the many examples of mass murder and extreme violence amongst the EEF. The Talheim Death Pit contained the skeletons of sixteen dead children, nine adult males and seven adult women that display evidence of several traumatic wounds to the skulls.
