Modern circum-Saharan populations harbor a remnant of this SW Asian ancestry, at a minimum similar to the sender population of the earliest Beaker IMO. Given the many scenarios for how the Beaker phenomenon emerged, I think ancestry from the pastoral belt cannot be excludedbellbeakerbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848982163843593127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-66101359800027842482015-08-13T23:48:16.272-05:002015-08-13T23:48:16.272-05:00BBB: "the spread of these traditions in North...BBB: "the spread of these traditions in North Africa is my primary interest, because its from one of these westward migrating groups that Beakers probably originated."

Even in Bohemia, the culture debuts with Maritime Beakers. The Anti-Atlas and Saharan Steppe has plenty of early evidence of pots and people, but I will make those arguments in the coming weeks.bellbeakerbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848982163843593127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-37410085849488007202014-09-08T09:06:53.021-05:002014-09-08T09:06:53.021-05:00"Beakers probably immigrated to Southwestern ..."Beakers probably immigrated to Southwestern Europe via a homeland in the Western Saharan Steppe"<br /><br />Why? I'm not aware of any evidence pointing in this direction and of some suggesting a migration from Bohemia to SE Europe, and perhaps from the Caucasus Mountains to Bohemia.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.com
