Around 4500 BC there were still surprisingly few farming communities in Egypt (compared to even Europe, to say nothing of the Near East). The region was probably dominated by pastoralists. The Green S...

Looks like Allentoft was way off. There were no mesolithic CHG's trekking to the Middle Don region in the Neolithic. Instead, there were neolithic pastoralists (a CHG/EHG/Central Asian mixture) ex...

PIE was the lingua franca of various eneolithic nomadic pastoralist clans, belonging to diverse subclades of both R1a and R1b, with some Q's and I's and J's and whatnot, but in any case dominated by ...
