If you check out Davidiski's numbers, the German Bell Beakers have almost half that of Corded Ware and the later Beakers were certainly culturally hybridized. I've see this as possibly indicating that early Maritime Beakers had little steppe-like ancestry.<br /><br />The Neolithic Green Sahara was at one time populated by R1 lineages, this can be seen in the lineages of the modern lower Sahel. In fact, if you look at the Gallinaro drawing above and shift the rock art belt down a few degrees, this roughly correlates with R1 lineages in North Africa in modern times.<br /><br />It's my hunch that the R1 lineages of the Atlantic are mostly from contact with North Africa beginning with the Impresso farmers and then a sudden surge in the 4th millennium from North Africa (Western Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria) into Europe (Iberia and Italy). This does not require any sub-Saharan admixture since these would have been fairly isolated, endogamous pastoral populations that originated in the East.<br /><br />I will agree with the last point, ultimately the majority of the ancestry of Beakers came from the East, in different periods.<br /><br />bellbeakerbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848982163843593127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-33461086832775831182015-09-27T23:23:51.958-05:002015-09-27T23:23:51.958-05:00To answer your last question: new metallurgy pract...To answer your last question: new metallurgy practices, horses, genes, a trail of stelae, and early IE language as best candidate vector for the *massive* population turnover and distribution of haplotypes seen today. If N. Sarah/anti-Atlas Steppe was the original population they certainly didn't leave much of a trace linguistically or genetically. Also, one can just as easily link CW pottery impressed style to BB as anything else as similar shapes etc. are found in Samara... We just need Iberian aDNA to see if what's there has a PC steppe flavor. I should not be surprised to find that BB are invasive and from the East...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
