Is it possible that the myth of the war and later truce between the warlike Aesir Gods and the fertility Vanir Gods could be a representation of the culture of conflict between the Corded Ware, Funnelbeakers and Pitted Ware peoples?

These people are literally the biggest admixture of Northern and Eastern Europeans but you are like the only one that have made a full fact history video about them. Well done and you got a new subscriber.
In our last video we discussed how the Fanta culture of Northern Germany was invaded by and mixed with the Coca Cola culture. Today, we will talk about how The Mountain Dew culture was spawned from the all encompassing Coca Cola culture. Interestingly, while all of this was going on, in a small section of the British Isles, more or less, in Scotland, the Irn Bru culture was still going strong.
A future video discussing the Eastern "Heryos" of the Fatyanovo, Sintashta and Andronovo would be great! Thanks mate. Your books are wonderful. It's funny, before STJ made me aware of you, I had been working for several years on creating a historical-fantasy world based on this exact time of history and centered around the early Indo-European peoples. As well as some other elements too. Truly love your work.
Thank you, I'm so pleased to hear that. You should definitely write that historical fantasy, the more the merrier, I would love to read it! And I certainly will do vids on the Sintashta etc. Truly fascinating and impressive peoples.
03:40 The man's skull facing West could represent facing the sunset. The sunset might be symbolism for the land of the dead. The woman's skull facing East could represent facing the sunrise. The sunrise might represent the birth of a new day, which would make sense thematically, as women are the birth givers.
I've always been really interested in Indo-European origins and devour books by Renfrow, Mallory and David Anthony. I love how you've distilled so much of this information into your videos and look forward to seeing more of them.
My father's family emigrated from Cornwall about 1850 to North America. In Historic DNA studies I am normally grouped with "English" men who are identified with the L21 Haplogroup. But my defining Haplogroup is DF27, well represented in NE Spain, NW France and southern England and scattered elsewhere in Europe. My latest DNA tests shows me at BY27679 (Family Tree DNA). My ancestors appear to have migrated to southern England about 2500 years ago. A small subgroup of R1b, but to me an important group. I enjoyed your narrative.
Happy to find you, been studying the Wester Steppe Herders for a year now your videos here and the one about the yamnaya people are reaaly good with all the charts and maps... Being Danish i started studying the history and differences in the cultures of Denmark and N.China... 2-3 years ago...and learnt so much about how they survived, progressed... very depending on their geologi and climate the last 20.000 years... .many similarities also with how people have solved their problems... even today... all depending on the geological and geografi environment... ie wind ... humidity from ocean... latitude....... Always been fascinated by the migrations from the Baikal and Altai mountains... East and North (as I worked in that part of the world for 12 years) thats how I came to the steppe herders...... THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR WORK AND VIDEOS....
really cool! learning all this really old european tribal/cultural history and migration seems to be my hyperfixation of the week, its hard to find videos about it so thanks!
Found it interesting that the impression left by reed mats within in mud walls of the ziggurat looked very similar to corded ware impressions. Thanks for your works.
amazing how much can piece together from artifacts and thank you for covering the corded ware culture and interesting that so many people today are descended from them.
@@DanDavisHistory 8:30 or before you are wrong about Scotland, go look up the Declaration or Arbroath and the Migration of the Scoti, who wiped out the Picts...
Thank you. These videos are great. The speed of the delivery is just right. Please could you make a video on the Bell Beaker culture? The take-over of Britain was so strange. Thank you.
@@DanDavisHistory of course and it would enjoyable. These are great for introducing people to this area of history aswell. If you made longer, in-depth videos I’m sure they’d be good too.
Hi Dan; I'm primarily a musician & linguist. In your researches you'll have come across the Nord-West Block, whose existence is preserved in place names in the Weser-Rhein area. If you've covered them in a video, can you please point me to it, and if you haven't, could you please do so? They are so mysterious, yet on our doorstep.
I love the fact that all our ancestors who made up the Anglo-Saxons, despite different Indo-European language, are ethnically closest to the Britons who adopted the Celtic languages. All one people.
I really have trouble believing that no-one developed writing until the Sumerians. Just that baked clay survived and organic materials didn't. After all, you have sophisticated cave paintings from the Palaeolithic period, and generally pictographs preceded ideographs, as in Egypt and China. Once you have trade networks, there is a need to keep some kind of record of transactions. The "illiterate" North American people recorded contracts by exchanging wampum belts. Numbers could be tallied by notches on a stick. Barter could be done by sign language. More complicated ideas could be communicated by scratching pictures in the sand. They were just as smart as we are, and things that I can come up with off the top of my head they could no doubt think of themselves and probably greatly improve upon.
Dan, always impressed with how you thoughtfully explain and keep things interesting! Perhaps that's what other viewers like me appreciate - that you give chance to deliciously digest info? (My only beef is it's pre-election - and I don't like other party making Dark Ads about my guy Fetterman - because he's young and like you he cares very deeply about people.)
Your narration together with the maps brings this subject to life - you should get your agent to get you on the telly with that Alice Roberts - you'd be great
The Yamnaya and Corded Ware people did not need to kill and enslave all men to have their descendants predominate, it only takes a higher birthrate and time. Though the killing and enslavement certainly happened.
Higher status males not only get more women, their children are more likely to survive. There's also some effect whereby conquered people produce more female offspring which might be a natural protection to lower violence by reducing the pool of males in the conquered population making them less threatening and therefore less likely to be further attacked by the conquering population while at the same time making more women available for the conquerors to produce offspring with quickly increasing the number of people with blood ties to the conquerors.
Yes but all the male genetics of the conquired males vanish, no mass burials, no sites of massacre,no bodies .They come to an apparent abrupt end.Also did the early bronze age corded ware who arrived in Britain have horses ?
Yeah I've seen archeologists being highly sceptical about the population turnover in Britain due to the lack of massacre sites and the apparent continuation in use of ritual sites eg Stonehenge. Resolving the archeology and genetics and building a narrative of what actually happened is challenging - that's what I'm doing for my next Gods of Bronze book. Good question about the horses, I feel like I've looked into this before but I'm old now and can't remember. I'll look into it.
@@DanDavisHistory I think the sudden change is accepted now but not understood ,I have watched lectures on the Irish population change and they agree the genetics appear to come to a very abrupt full stop and the male lines from the previous are gone. If people were enslaved or much reduced they would still have children but nothing. I wonder if the woman were kept in groups and used to produce children the males of whom would be taken when they reached age to the warrior groups. The warrior bands appear to have been prevalent in celtic society for a long time.I don't suppose it was coincedence that the temple site on the ness of Brodgar ends with a massive gathering a feast of the islands cattle on a huge scale and then the buildings are pulled down and burried.Perhaps they knew what was coming right at the end of the stone age.I'm interested if the corded ware had strict cultural ways that bonded the tribe with their own priests/shaman, I believe the burials were facing east, perhaps from the direction they came.
I asked ChatGPT to write me a poem about the Corded Ware Culture The Corded Ware culture, ancient and grand, Spanned from west to east across the land, A Bronze Age society, rich and diverse, Whose artifacts and traditions we now immerse. Their pottery, adorned with cords and lines, Was found in graves, with treasures intertwined, A testament to their skills and art, A legacy that still enchants the heart. Their burial mounds, a sight to see, Tell tales of a culture, proud and free, A people who lived and loved and died, Leaving behind a history that can't be denied. So let us honor the Corded Ware, A culture that, even in death, they did not forsake, Their legacy lives on, in artifacts and tales, A reminder of a time that still prevails.
@@ian_b rich and diverse... lol should have told chatgpt that they like to kill other people in a genocidal fashion, they didnt like outsiders and were an extremely homogene group of poeple. haha.
It's interesting that you say the megalithic people were wiped out by the incoming Bell Beaker culture. That's largely true. After that collision the population was about 90% Bell Beaker and 10% megalithic/near eastern farmer ancestry. This happens to be about the same proportion of Yayoi ancestry to Jomon ancestry in the modern Japanese people. Yet the way it is reported in Japan is that the Japanese are a hybrid between the Yayoi and Jomon people. So that 10% Jomon ancestry clearly matters there. We should also remember that while only 10% ancestry remained from the megalithic/farmers living in the British Isles the incoming people also had significant ancestry from similar megalithic/farming people from the mainland.
I have a few questions for you. 1. Did the megalithic cultures or ethnic groups of central and northern Europe die out in similar fashion to their counterparts in Britain upon the arrival of the Corded Ware people? 2. If Northern Poles have similar genes to the Germans, could it be because of assimilation of Germanic people by the slavs who arrived there in the Iron Age? Thank you. Btw, you Europeans have a great ancestry and I suspect that your ancestors originally left northern India before arriving at the stepppe. My thoughts only. Excellent videos. Cheers.
1. No they didn't, generally speaking they contributed far more of their DNA to the Corded Ware than did the British megalithic cultures to the Bell Beaker peoples. 2. I think it just goes back further than that but of course there have been many migrations since. Thank you for watching, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
There were a lot of things going on between the Germanic and the Slavic people. The modern day Eastern Germany has a lot of Slavic toponymics and the major cities like Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Brandenburg, Rostok etc. are of Slavic origin. Also, the original name for Slavic people is Slovene which literally means "those who know words/can speak", while the Slavic word for the Germanic people is Nemci, which means "muted" or "those who can't speak". That says a lot on their relations. :)
Thanks! Yeah I will do something on this, I think the northern forest-steppe people and the eastern corded ware are incredibly important but I don't see much on it. I also don't know much about it so I need to read up before making vids.
I remember learning that indo European culture had a coming of age ceremonial hunt where young men were sent away on their own to survive for a year or so, surviving in the wild in small war bands raiding neighboring tribes and living off the land. I bet this contributed to the spread. On another note, that old ceremony may be a dna memory (if you believe in that) that has triggered the popularity of survival shows and the trend, at least in America, for men wanting to leave society and live off grid in the wilderness. Who knows...
I recently did the 2 dna tests as they were Christmas presents. Full British and northern Germanic ancestry apparently but with a J2a father line which completely threw me! These videos and the maps are really helping me understand so thankyou. I don't know how reliable the tests are or whatever but our history really is a web isn't it!
Awesome, that's really interesting. Obviously your DNA as a whole is typically British but your Y-haplogroup is not that typical. Your father to son line leads back to the Neolithic farmers who first expanded from Anatolia across the Aegean to Italy and that kind of region before ultimately spreading north. Fascinating to imagine what our forefathers had to go through isn't it.
Really is I've been trying to piece it together, like at which point we may have moved north? I felt a little like an outsider at first lol! Realising now yeah my forefathers have probably been northern European for a couple o thousand years now so it counts! 👌
lol yeah that's crazy, your forefathers maybe arrived in Britain about 4,000 BC, I think you're okay. I mean your Y-haplogroup could have come in at any point since then from an Italian or Greek or something like that but as your DNA tests show entirely British and German it's likely before 300 years ago, I would think and yeah maybe thousands. Either way, you're still British of course. The Y-haplogroup is a tiny, tiny amount of our DNA and although it's fascinating to see how our ancestors moved around through history, it doesn't have to have much meaning for us as individuals if we don't want it to. The totality of the DNA is much more profound but yeah I think we can find meaning in identity in many different ways.
Of course yeah if anything it's made the story more interesting and made me want to delve further. Thankyou for taking time to help me understand by the way it's really appreciated! I'm off work atm with a foot injury so probably going to be binge watching and from what I've seen probably buying your book lol. Thanks again fella and good luck on here hope it takes off for you 👍
My maternal haplogroup (mtDNA) that I obviously get from my mother is W4. According to my 23AndMe results it originated in the Middle East but also has been found in many Corded Ware Culture sites. So this is gonna be even more interesting to me.
Britain had the Beaker People. Here in the Americas, in North America, and Illinois specifically, there's the Koster site, which depicts several thousand years of settlement. Digs at the site ended in 1980.
Can you make a video just dealing with the migrations sometime? I know your think is largely narrative focused, but you handle the migrations really well when you touch on them in your videos, I think you would do an excellent job with presenting the movement patterns that created the modern Europeans.
3:02 brother, I know you know that the spoked wheel was invented by the Sintashta for their light weight war chariots. The wheels on that ox cart would have been one solid piece and heavy, hence why they had to be pulled by oxen.
I love your work, man. Thank you for all that you do. You seem like a real down to earth fellow, as well. A breath of fresh air in a society that seems increasingly obsessed with the veneration of one’s own self, all that is novel and the destruction of cultural heritage and tradition. Keep on keeping on, we need you!
Here in Sweden we call our ancestors, who were a specific branch of the corded ware "stridsyxekulturen" or the war-axe culture (also sometimes wrongly the boat-axe culture) because they came in here and beat the sh1t out of all the neolithic farmers and most of the traces of them are a lot of axes and hammers that look like boats. Edit: But I see you mentioned this after awhile in the video.
Yeah, so basically could it be the men from the steppes/ HG came in (light hair, good for night hunting) met up with the EEF women( good at agriculture and pots) and said,”Hey, I’m good at riding, killing and taking shi$ and you’re good at growing and storing $hit let’s take over the world. Oh, and don’t worry about your husband he won’t be a problem!🤣”. Cause genetically that seems like that’s what happened but humanity does what’s useful but maybe I’m missing something in the sauce here?
I think that the first North Europeans did not come from the area of Sintashta, but more from the area that today is called Armenia. Futhermore I think that dating needs to be revised in archaeology
@@frisiifreya4132 No they came from the steppes around Ukraine and spread west and eas and is the ancestors to all Europeans, but have then developed seperately. The west part is the corded ware culture and the war axe culture is their own branch of them who went to the north. But researchers only have theories etc.
I find this video illuminating, at least for me, my Haplogroup is U4a1 and it seems related to the Corded Ware culture. I love the fact that women were xogamia, thereofore contributed to the European cultural expansion. I'm Italian having German/French heritage, I live in the UK and people often mistake me for Russian or Polish.
Thank you. This is helpful and highly researched and told in a straight forward fashion. It is also highly important to me personally. Since about 2005 I have been involved with my own genetic genealogy trail. Just last year I was informed that my ydna had its origins along the eastern Scottish coast. Seems as though my distant ancestors were the Picts. Further been investigating "where" the Picts came from ...Bellbeaker Folk ... Cordedware People ... What a great mystery! More detailed ydna test to be completed in about 10 weeks. In the meantime, again, thanks for your well studied and presented vids. They never fail to fire the old imagination!
An eminent indoeuropean linguist Carlos Quilles disputes whether Corded Ware people spoke PIE. He thinks they spoke proto-Uralic. The culture which is undoubtfully IE were the Beakers, in direct descent from Yamna - R1b-L23.
I read his blog, I see his arguments, and all I can say is it's a very fractious field of study. The origins of the Corded Ware are far more complex than we currently understand and beyond the scope of this introductory video. There were multiple cultural and genetic influences involved in the formation of the archeological culture and marrying it with linguistic and genetic evidence is extremely complicated.
Radio Zelaza - please rely more on scholars like David Anthony, David Reich, Nick Patterson, Johannes Krause, Wolfgang Haak, Svante Paboo, I read Carlos Quilles but he has a clear bias vis-a-vis Balto-Slavonic language group and possibly Eastern Europeans in general. There is now abundant evidence that Corded Ware were indeed indoeuropean speakers and genetically very similar to Yamnaya and even more similar to Sredny Stog. If Corded Ware or R1A were Uralic speakers, as most Corded Ware samples were indeed R1A, then most of Europe today would be Uralic-speaking as well as India and Iran, but this is not the case.
@@gastongabriel7092 Should stop calling them Indo-European all together as it confuses people that it has something to do with India. Should just call them Bronze-age European or something.
I remember when I did archaelogy at university that there was a bug in the Corded ware/Battle axe information system. They had no sites where they lived. No farms, no long houses or pit houses or whatever. Nada. They just had cist burials with boat axes as grave gifts.
This is fascinating. 23andme told me my maternal ancestry is corded ware. Happy to find this video. Haplogroup U4a3…..can you explain in simple terms what that means? It’s so deep and mind blowing.
It means that part of the reason you exist today is because a hunter-gatherer woman who you are distantly related to survived a population bottleneck in central Europe 20,000 years ago
Love your work. I am fascinated by the later Indo-Iranic split and the religious divide that it created in backing opposite groups of gods. The battle of ten kings in the 3rd book of Rigveda could be a key focus point of a book and the drive for the migration of the Iranian tribes into IRAN. So much potential material to include from the pishdadian chapters of Shahnameh. What do you think?
meaning all Europeans are comprised from the DNA of neolithic farmers, yamnaya and western hunter gatherers.. The region of Europe any given European ethnic group is from determines the amount of DNA making up their genome contributed from any of those 3 proto-european groups.. Example more neolithic dna in southern europe and more yamnaya dna in northern europe but both northern and southern Europeans have DNA from all 3 proto-European groups in some amount..
Yeah that's right, the ancient DNA evidence is clear. Maybe the geography of Northern Europe was more conducive to the herding lifestyle of the steppe herder type people and the population density was higher in the south but we don't know for sure how it all happened on the ground.
@@DanDavisHistory Im interested in the neolithic farmers because im of Italian heritage.. Most videos speaking of the proto-european groups tend to focus more on the steppe migrations impact on northern Europe. Would be nice to learn a little more about the other groups and southern regions of Europe. Just a thought. Im really enjpying your videos either way and believe its more important than ever for people of European descent to learn about our ancestors and history. Keep up the good work mate!
Thank you, I will do. And I will make more videos about the other regions when my novel series gets to these places. There is a fantastic book called The First Farmers of Europe by Stephen Shennan which explains so much about the Neolithic farmers, it really is superb and I highly recommend it.
8000 years. Maybe even 10.000 years. 6000 years ago was 4000 BC. 8.000 years ago 6000 BC. 10.000 years ago is 8.000 BC And in my opinion that is accurate. I highly doubt it's 4000 BC
They are. Here is a link to the first Immortal Knight audiobook: amzn.to/3ptMKqZ And the first Gods of Bronze audiobook: amzn.to/3vvLk05 Hope you enjoy the stories.
Fascinating stuff! I had no idea that research into remains had resulted is such detailed and complex knowledge/theories? We’re these differentiated people genetically different (eg Corded Wear and Funnel Beaker peoples) for example in hair colour, complexion, average height etc or were the differences more cultural?
Funnel Beaker peoples were Neolithic farmers with some Western Hunter Gatherer mixture, whereas Corded Wear peoples were primarily descended from the Yamnaya people (Proto Indo-Europeans). But there seemed to have been a high incidence of blondness among the Funnel Beakers. He made a video about the Funnel Beakers.
You got an ancient guy on the preview poster with a nicely trimmed beard and washed shiny hairs, perhaps in the nearby`s cave was gillette and head and shoulders dealer centre
Britain islands had like 4 major invasions ,first the bell beaker and corded ware PIE into neolithic farmers,then the britons that were Celtic,and then the Anglo-Saxons,and Then the Norman invasion
It's funny you say that, I was just reading David Anthony's book yet again and decided to make a video about the relationship between the Neolithic farmers and the Hunter-Gatherers who became the steppe herders. How they obtained sheep and cattle and how it changed their societies - the emergence of chiefs and the change in burial customs etc. It's fascinating.
I like how your chart calls it Netherlandic, although I'd prefer Netherlandish I think. Honestly Dutch is such a confusing term although I do love it. But maybe we oughta apply it either as meaning 'continental Germanic' or just Germanic.
Thank you for your interesting videos. Please tell us about the ancestoral people and culture and languages of the Iranian people who moved to the Iranian territory. For example, I know Sintashta, Scythians, Alans, Osseta, Tocharians are all Iranian tribes (as far as I know). But I am not clear about the dates and the genetic traces.
So the Neolithic farmers that populated Europe prior to the arrival of the yamnaya mixed with the incoming yamnaya more heavily in the north of Europe. This can account for the phenotypical differences we see between northern and southern regions of Europe.
1:08 but how can the Corded Ware be descended from the Yamnaya if they have different Ydna? They were for sure extremely similar, but their difference in Ydna suggests they were more like brothers descended from a common source, the people speaking the actual PIE language, than one the father of the other!
Mr Davis, I've watched your programs on Bronze Age peoples. They are good staying away of any unfounded speculations. However, the biggest misery of the period is how closely related, both genetically and culturally, are the Corded Ware and Yamnaya peoples. In the West, there is a tendency to regard all Protoindoeuropean as Yamnaya. Do you know of any evidence that might help to solve this mystery?
The boundaries between cultures and timeframes isn't as clear cut as many researchers try to let on. The Yamnaya didn't just up and decide, one day, "Well, I'm tired of this *%#@. Tomorrow, we're doing Corded Ware!!" ;) It was a bit more complex - and, much more interesting than that. ;)
Yeah for sure this kind of ethnogenesis is complicated and still not well understood in detail. But generally speaking, these archeological cultures are often most strongly expressed at their edges. Material culture tends to be more fixed and conservative at the "border" with neighbouring cultures than in the interior. Suggesting that to some extent these peoples defined themselves by being "not those guys on the other side of the river." or whatever. This kind of thing is absolutely fascinating and trying to reconstruct it in fiction is challenging but great fun.
This is probably the most historically significant culture in human history, and barely anyone has heard about them while experts know very little. Intensely fascinating.
@@ayodejiolowokere1076 I take your point but the descendents of these people, particularly through the British and the USA, have had undeniably the biggest and longest lasting impact on humanity. Just on language alone this is self-evident.
@@AS-hz8cv so when the most commonly spoken language was Aramaean? What about then? These things change, it's the initiation that made the indelible impact.
@@ayodejiolowokere1076 Regardless of things changing, the impact of Aramean is not comparable to how much Indo-European languages (English, French, Spanish etc) dominate today not to mention the extent that European colonisation and expansion has shaped the world. The USA alone dwarves any other political entity in history in terms of its military, cultural and economic dominance possibly with the exception of the Roman Empire which was arguably also Indo-European (linguistically certainly).
@@AS-hz8cv in relativity to civilization it really isn't. Once the majority of civilization was Middle East bound. And where half the world's population was Achaemenid, Aramaean dominated in a way no modern European language has. These things change. What doesn't change is who got the ball rolling.
Looks like there is an Achilles heel in the weaponry of the Corded ware people. They did not wipe out the I1 of Scandinavia. R1b can be found pretty much everywhere in Eurasia. But it seems that Corded ware people joined forces with I1 men to some extent otherwise I1 could not have reached its position in the Nordic Bronze Age.
I am of Indian-Brahmin heritage. When my DNA was uploaded to Genesis GEDMatch and parameters were set to ancient K12, it showed I had a lot of Yamnaya and Coded Ware heritage. That would explain why my family is much bigger and lighter skinned than the native Indian Dravidians.
what a stupid comment. u r not even indian cause then ull know from north to south there are brahmins.there are tamil brahmins,telgu brahmins,malyali brahmins,assamese brahmin etc.and not only brahmins all castes in india have more or less same genetics.r1a is found in all of them.india has the oldest r1a tmrca datings as well as most diverse r1a. yamnaya were r1b dominant people on the other hand.indo-iranians(real aryans) were r1a-z93 dominant(creators of vedas and avesta which are the oldest indo european literatures and sanskrit i much more sophisticated than hittite and arguably much older).even andronovo and sinthasta culture has no z93 to conclude migration or invasion.european supremacists will never learn or stop.

Did the neolithic farmers and yamnaya share an ancient common ancestor population?.. I ask because of the close geographic proximity between the Caucasian yamnaya steppe tribes and the anatolian neolithic farmers.. also agriculture appears to be a learned aryan behaviour the neolithic farmers kept from an earlier time...?
Yeah they did and I'm going to talk about that in my next video. They and the Anatolian farmers share Caucasus Hunter Gatherer (CHG) DNA. The other main element of Anatolian / Aegean Farmer DNA is Western Hunter Gatherer (WHG). And they pick up more WHG as they move west and north through Europe over the centuries. The other foundational population is Eastern Hunter Gatherer (EHG) which is shared by the steppe herders and the Scandinavian Hunter Gatherers.
Curious that speakers of Uralic languages also have some Corded Ware ancestry. Any chance that not all of Corded Ware people spoke Indo-European languages?

My lineage from County Kerry, largely Basque and Rh(-), per DNA studies, and mine further validated their findings.

These people are literally the biggest admixture of Northern and Eastern Europeans but you are like the only one that have made a full fact history video about them. Well done and you got a new subscriber.
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy the other videos too.
@@DanDavisHistory Yes indeed i did.
@Mi what DNA test did you take to find that out?
Not really. Definitely not full fact, more like half facts and half “didn’t tell you the other half truths“.
@@hellslounge6823 I mean a video only and exclusievly about the Corded ware compared to other videos that just mention them slightly.
I understand that ceramics are one of the more important archeological data points, but man. Can you imagine being known as the Ziploc Confederacy?
I had to reread this and after I did the concept stunned me.
"Here we have another find from the Plastic Bottle Culture"
The "World's Best Dad" Culture.
Meanwhile we have the peoples of the Appalachian region, the Ethyl-Jug culture.
In our last video we discussed how the Fanta culture of Northern Germany was invaded by and mixed with the Coca Cola culture. Today, we will talk about how The Mountain Dew culture was spawned from the all encompassing Coca Cola culture. Interestingly, while all of this was going on, in a small section of the British Isles, more or less, in Scotland, the Irn Bru culture was still going strong.
This was super fascinating. I've been curious about pre-Roman European history. Thanks for the post.
A future video discussing the Eastern "Heryos" of the Fatyanovo, Sintashta and Andronovo would be great! Thanks mate. Your books are wonderful. It's funny, before STJ made me aware of you, I had been working for several years on creating a historical-fantasy world based on this exact time of history and centered around the early Indo-European peoples. As well as some other elements too. Truly love your work.
Thank you, I'm so pleased to hear that. You should definitely write that historical fantasy, the more the merrier, I would love to read it! And I certainly will do vids on the Sintashta etc. Truly fascinating and impressive peoples.
You mean the would be Aryas riht?

The man's skull facing West could represent facing the sunset. The sunset might be symbolism for the land of the dead. The woman's skull facing East could represent facing the sunrise. The sunrise might represent the birth of a new day, which would make sense thematically, as women are the birth givers.
I've always been really interested in Indo-European origins and devour books by Renfrow, Mallory and David Anthony. I love how you've distilled so much of this information into your videos and look forward to seeing more of them.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
My father's family emigrated from Cornwall about 1850 to North America. In Historic DNA studies I am normally grouped with "English" men who are identified with the L21 Haplogroup.
But my defining Haplogroup is DF27, well represented in NE Spain, NW France and southern England and scattered elsewhere in Europe. My latest DNA tests shows me at BY27679 (Family Tree DNA). My ancestors appear to have migrated to southern England about 2500 years ago. A small subgroup of R1b, but to me an important group. I enjoyed your narrative.
What test did you take to show you that?
The greater detail one?
Happy to find you, been studying the Wester Steppe Herders for a year now your videos here and the one about the yamnaya people are reaaly good with all the charts and maps...
Being Danish i started studying the history and differences in the cultures of Denmark and N.China... 2-3 years ago...and learnt so much about how they survived, progressed... very depending on their geologi and climate the last 20.000 years... .many similarities also with how people have solved their problems... even today... all depending on the geological and geografi environment... ie wind ... humidity from ocean... latitude.......
Always been fascinated by the migrations from the Baikal and Altai mountains... East and North (as I worked in that part of the world for 12 years) thats how I came to the steppe herders...... THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR WORK AND VIDEOS....
tracking how horse was riding and horse husbandry spread is an awesome story to follow itself

Hi Dan; I'm primarily a musician & linguist. In your researches you'll have come across the Nord-West Block, whose existence is preserved in place names in the Weser-Rhein area. If you've covered them in a video, can you please point me to it, and if you haven't, could you please do so? They are so mysterious, yet on our doorstep.
Yeah,I would like to see about the “Belgian language” that was an Indo-European language but it was not Celtic nor Germanic
I love the fact that all our ancestors who made up the Anglo-Saxons, despite different Indo-European language, are ethnically closest to the Britons who adopted the Celtic languages. All one people.
I really have trouble believing that no-one developed writing until the Sumerians. Just that baked clay survived and organic materials didn't. After all, you have sophisticated cave paintings from the Palaeolithic period, and generally pictographs preceded ideographs, as in Egypt and China. Once you have trade networks, there is a need to keep some kind of record of transactions. The "illiterate" North American people recorded contracts by exchanging wampum belts. Numbers could be tallied by notches on a stick. Barter could be done by sign language. More complicated ideas could be communicated by scratching pictures in the sand. They were just as smart as we are, and things that I can come up with off the top of my head they could no doubt think of themselves and probably greatly improve upon.
Still interesting I have to read your books.
Carsten
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and I hope you enjoy the stories.
Dan, always impressed with how you thoughtfully explain and keep things interesting!
Perhaps that's what other viewers like me appreciate - that you give chance to deliciously digest info?
(My only beef is it's pre-election - and I don't like other party making Dark Ads about my guy Fetterman - because he's young and like you he cares very deeply about people.)
I don't much read fiction but honestly I'm thinking about picking up your work. You've really stoked my interest
Awesome, thanks.
Your narration together with the maps brings this subject to life - you should get your agent to get you on the telly with that Alice Roberts - you'd be great
The Yamnaya and Corded Ware people did not need to kill and enslave all men to have their descendants predominate, it only takes a higher birthrate and time. Though the killing and enslavement certainly happened.
Absolutely agree yes.
Higher status males not only get more women, their children are more likely to survive. There's also some effect whereby conquered people produce more female offspring which might be a natural protection to lower violence by reducing the pool of males in the conquered population making them less threatening and therefore less likely to be further attacked by the conquering population while at the same time making more women available for the conquerors to produce offspring with quickly increasing the number of people with blood ties to the conquerors.
Yes but all the male genetics of the conquired males vanish, no mass burials, no sites of massacre,no bodies .They come to an apparent abrupt end.Also did the early bronze age corded ware who arrived in Britain have horses ?
Yeah I've seen archeologists being highly sceptical about the population turnover in Britain due to the lack of massacre sites and the apparent continuation in use of ritual sites eg Stonehenge. Resolving the archeology and genetics and building a narrative of what actually happened is challenging - that's what I'm doing for my next Gods of Bronze book. Good question about the horses, I feel like I've looked into this before but I'm old now and can't remember. I'll look into it.
@@DanDavisHistory I think the sudden change is accepted now but not understood ,I have watched lectures on the Irish population change and they agree the genetics appear to come to a very abrupt full stop and the male lines from the previous are gone. If people were enslaved or much reduced they would still have children but nothing. I wonder if the woman were kept in groups and used to produce children the males of whom would be taken when they reached age to the warrior groups. The warrior bands appear to have been prevalent in celtic society for a long time.I don't suppose it was coincedence that the temple site on the ness of Brodgar ends with a massive gathering a feast of the islands cattle on a huge scale and then the buildings are pulled down and burried.Perhaps they knew what was coming right at the end of the stone age.I'm interested if the corded ware had strict cultural ways that bonded the tribe with their own priests/shaman, I believe the burials were facing east, perhaps from the direction they came.
I asked ChatGPT to write me a poem about the Corded Ware Culture
The Corded Ware culture, ancient and grand,
Spanned from west to east across the land,
A Bronze Age society, rich and diverse,
Whose artifacts and traditions we now immerse.
Their pottery, adorned with cords and lines,
Was found in graves, with treasures intertwined,
A testament to their skills and art,
A legacy that still enchants the heart.
Their burial mounds, a sight to see,
Tell tales of a culture, proud and free,
A people who lived and loved and died,
Leaving behind a history that can't be denied.
So let us honor the Corded Ware,
A culture that, even in death, they did not forsake,
Their legacy lives on, in artifacts and tales,
A reminder of a time that still prevails.
Well,It was before Bronze Age lol
@@HYDROCARBON_XD Artificial Ignorance! 🤣
@@ian_b rich and diverse... lol should have told chatgpt that they like to kill other people in a genocidal fashion, they didnt like outsiders and were an extremely homogene group of poeple. haha.
It's interesting that you say the megalithic people were wiped out by the incoming Bell Beaker culture. That's largely true. After that collision the population was about 90% Bell Beaker and 10% megalithic/near eastern farmer ancestry. This happens to be about the same proportion of Yayoi ancestry to Jomon ancestry in the modern Japanese people. Yet the way it is reported in Japan is that the Japanese are a hybrid between the Yayoi and Jomon people. So that 10% Jomon ancestry clearly matters there.
We should also remember that while only 10% ancestry remained from the megalithic/farmers living in the British Isles the incoming people also had significant ancestry from similar megalithic/farming people from the mainland.
I taught the h
Jalenese are more like 20%
I have a few questions for you.
1. Did the megalithic cultures or ethnic groups of central and northern Europe die out in similar fashion to their counterparts in Britain upon the arrival of the Corded Ware people?
2. If Northern Poles have similar genes to the Germans, could it be because of assimilation of Germanic people by the slavs who arrived there in the Iron Age?
Thank you. Btw, you Europeans have a great ancestry and I suspect that your ancestors originally left northern India before arriving at the stepppe. My thoughts only. Excellent videos. Cheers.
1. No they didn't, generally speaking they contributed far more of their DNA to the Corded Ware than did the British megalithic cultures to the Bell Beaker peoples.
2. I think it just goes back further than that but of course there have been many migrations since.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
There were a lot of things going on between the Germanic and the Slavic people. The modern day Eastern Germany has a lot of Slavic toponymics and the major cities like Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Brandenburg, Rostok etc. are of Slavic origin. Also, the original name for Slavic people is Slovene which literally means "those who know words/can speak", while the Slavic word for the Germanic people is Nemci, which means "muted" or "those who can't speak". That says a lot on their relations. :)
The single most badass culture in human history
Lovely! And I am waiting for something more about the Balto-Slavic branch of the IE
Thanks! Yeah I will do something on this, I think the northern forest-steppe people and the eastern corded ware are incredibly important but I don't see much on it. I also don't know much about it so I need to read up before making vids.
This translates to English

I remember learning that indo European culture had a coming of age ceremonial hunt where young men were sent away on their own to survive for a year or so, surviving in the wild in small war bands raiding neighboring tribes and living off the land. I bet this contributed to the spread. On another note, that old ceremony may be a dna memory (if you believe in that) that has triggered the popularity of survival shows and the trend, at least in America, for men wanting to leave society and live off grid in the wilderness. Who knows...
Check out my koryos playlist which is all about this
I recently did the 2 dna tests as they were Christmas presents. Full British and northern Germanic ancestry apparently but with a J2a father line which completely threw me! These videos and the maps are really helping me understand so thankyou. I don't know how reliable the tests are or whatever but our history really is a web isn't it!
Awesome, that's really interesting. Obviously your DNA as a whole is typically British but your Y-haplogroup is not that typical. Your father to son line leads back to the Neolithic farmers who first expanded from Anatolia across the Aegean to Italy and that kind of region before ultimately spreading north. Fascinating to imagine what our forefathers had to go through isn't it.
Really is I've been trying to piece it together, like at which point we may have moved north? I felt a little like an outsider at first lol! Realising now yeah my forefathers have probably been northern European for a couple o thousand years now so it counts! 👌
lol yeah that's crazy, your forefathers maybe arrived in Britain about 4,000 BC, I think you're okay. I mean your Y-haplogroup could have come in at any point since then from an Italian or Greek or something like that but as your DNA tests show entirely British and German it's likely before 300 years ago, I would think and yeah maybe thousands. Either way, you're still British of course. The Y-haplogroup is a tiny, tiny amount of our DNA and although it's fascinating to see how our ancestors moved around through history, it doesn't have to have much meaning for us as individuals if we don't want it to. The totality of the DNA is much more profound but yeah I think we can find meaning in identity in many different ways.
Of course yeah if anything it's made the story more interesting and made me want to delve further. Thankyou for taking time to help me understand by the way it's really appreciated! I'm off work atm with a foot injury so probably going to be binge watching and from what I've seen probably buying your book lol. Thanks again fella and good luck on here hope it takes off for you 👍
Thanks mate I appreciate that. I hope you recover soon, take it easy.
This is wonderful.
My maternal haplogroup (mtDNA) that I obviously get from my mother is W4. According to my 23AndMe results it originated in the Middle East but also has been found in many Corded Ware Culture sites. So this is gonna be even more interesting to me.
Opened my mind to this period. Just tabbed over to Amazon to buy Gods of Bronze 1.
Thank you..for ur whole view of history & ur non jugement of history/ religion.....its just history..how refreshing.....thank u..x
Britain had the Beaker People. Here in the Americas, in North America, and Illinois specifically, there's the Koster site, which depicts several thousand years of settlement. Digs at the site ended in 1980.
Can you make a video just dealing with the migrations sometime? I know your think is largely narrative focused, but you handle the migrations really well when you touch on them in your videos, I think you would do an excellent job with presenting the movement patterns that created the modern Europeans.
3:02 brother, I know you know that the spoked wheel was invented by the Sintashta for their light weight war chariots. The wheels on that ox cart would have been one solid piece and heavy, hence why they had to be pulled by oxen.
I love your work, man. Thank you for all that you do.
You seem like a real down to earth fellow, as well. A breath of fresh air in a society that seems increasingly obsessed with the veneration of one’s own self, all that is novel and the destruction of cultural heritage and tradition. Keep on keeping on, we need you!
Here in Sweden we call our ancestors, who were a specific branch of the corded ware "stridsyxekulturen" or the war-axe culture (also sometimes wrongly the boat-axe culture) because they came in here and beat the sh1t out of all the neolithic farmers and most of the traces of them are a lot of axes and hammers that look like boats. Edit: But I see you mentioned this after awhile in the video.
Yeah, so basically could it be the men from the steppes/ HG came in (light hair, good for night hunting) met up with the EEF women( good at agriculture and pots) and said,”Hey, I’m good at riding, killing and taking shi$ and you’re good at growing and storing $hit let’s take over the world. Oh, and don’t worry about your husband he won’t be a problem!🤣”. Cause genetically that seems like that’s what happened but humanity does what’s useful but maybe I’m missing something in the sauce here?
I think that the first North Europeans did not come from the area of Sintashta, but more from the area that today is called Armenia.
Futhermore I think that dating needs to be revised in archaeology
@@frisiifreya4132 No they came from the steppes around Ukraine and spread west and eas and is the ancestors to all Europeans, but have then developed seperately. The west part is the corded ware culture and the war axe culture is their own branch of them who went to the north.
But researchers only have theories etc.
I find this video illuminating, at least for me, my Haplogroup is U4a1 and it seems related to the Corded Ware culture. I love the fact that women were xogamia, thereofore contributed to the European cultural expansion. I'm Italian having German/French heritage, I live in the UK and people often mistake me for Russian or Polish.
Thank you. This is helpful and highly researched and told in a straight forward fashion. It is also highly important to me personally. Since about 2005 I have been involved with my own genetic genealogy trail. Just last year I was informed that my ydna had its origins along the eastern Scottish coast. Seems as though my distant ancestors were the Picts. Further been investigating "where" the Picts came from ...Bellbeaker Folk ... Cordedware People ... What a great mystery! More detailed ydna test to be completed in about 10 weeks. In the meantime, again, thanks for your well studied and presented vids. They never fail to fire the old imagination!
I hope you make a video of O negative blood and the Basques
An eminent indoeuropean linguist Carlos Quilles disputes whether Corded Ware people spoke PIE. He thinks they spoke proto-Uralic. The culture which is undoubtfully IE were the Beakers, in direct descent from Yamna - R1b-L23.
I read his blog, I see his arguments, and all I can say is it's a very fractious field of study. The origins of the Corded Ware are far more complex than we currently understand and beyond the scope of this introductory video. There were multiple cultural and genetic influences involved in the formation of the archeological culture and marrying it with linguistic and genetic evidence is extremely complicated.
Radio Zelaza - please rely more on scholars like David Anthony, David Reich, Nick Patterson, Johannes Krause, Wolfgang Haak, Svante Paboo, I read Carlos Quilles but he has a clear bias vis-a-vis Balto-Slavonic language group and possibly Eastern Europeans in general. There is now abundant evidence that Corded Ware were indeed indoeuropean speakers and genetically very similar to Yamnaya and even more similar to Sredny Stog. If Corded Ware or R1A were Uralic speakers, as most Corded Ware samples were indeed R1A, then most of Europe today would be Uralic-speaking as well as India and Iran, but this is not the case.
@@gastongabriel7092 Should stop calling them Indo-European all together as it confuses people that it has something to do with India. Should just call them Bronze-age European or something.
I remember when I did archaelogy at university that there was a bug in the Corded ware/Battle axe information system. They had no sites where they lived. No farms, no long houses or pit houses or whatever. Nada.
They just had cist burials with boat axes as grave gifts.
Thank you so much! I found out last year that my oldest lineage dates to the yamna through my maternal lineage.
This is fascinating. 23andme told me my maternal ancestry is corded ware. Happy to find this video. Haplogroup U4a3…..can you explain in simple terms what that means? It’s so deep and mind blowing.
It means that part of the reason you exist today is because a hunter-gatherer woman who you are distantly related to survived a population bottleneck in central Europe 20,000 years ago
Excellent
Dan is the man.
Love your work. I am fascinated by the later Indo-Iranic split and the religious divide that it created in backing opposite groups of gods. The battle of ten kings in the 3rd book of Rigveda could be a key focus point of a book and the drive for the migration of the Iranian tribes into IRAN. So much potential material to include from the pishdadian chapters of Shahnameh. What do you think?
No one cares about India.
So southern Europeans retained more of the neolithic DNA which was widespread throughout Europe prior to the arrival of the yamnaya steppe tribes.
meaning all Europeans are comprised from the DNA of neolithic farmers, yamnaya and western hunter gatherers.. The region of Europe any given European ethnic group is from determines the amount of DNA making up their genome contributed from any of those 3 proto-european groups.. Example more neolithic dna in southern europe and more yamnaya dna in northern europe but both northern and southern Europeans have DNA from all 3 proto-European groups in some amount..
Yeah that's right, the ancient DNA evidence is clear. Maybe the geography of Northern Europe was more conducive to the herding lifestyle of the steppe herder type people and the population density was higher in the south but we don't know for sure how it all happened on the ground.
@@DanDavisHistory Im interested in the neolithic farmers because im of Italian heritage.. Most videos speaking of the proto-european groups tend to focus more on the steppe migrations impact on northern Europe. Would be nice to learn a little more about the other groups and southern regions of Europe. Just a thought. Im really enjpying your videos either way and believe its more important than ever for people of European descent to learn about our ancestors and history. Keep up the good work mate!
Thank you, I will do. And I will make more videos about the other regions when my novel series gets to these places. There is a fantastic book called The First Farmers of Europe by Stephen Shennan which explains so much about the Neolithic farmers, it really is superb and I highly recommend it.

Okay Brandon, thanks.
Modern European looks only go back 6000 years
8000 years. Maybe even 10.000 years. 6000 years ago was 4000 BC. 8.000 years ago 6000 BC. 10.000 years ago is 8.000 BC
And in my opinion that is accurate. I highly doubt it's 4000 BC

@@DanDavisHistory noice
Fascinating stuff! I had no idea that research into remains had resulted is such detailed and complex knowledge/theories? We’re these differentiated people genetically different (eg Corded Wear and Funnel Beaker peoples) for example in hair colour, complexion, average height etc or were the differences more cultural?
Funnel Beaker peoples were an earlier group that bred into the Corded Ware people, so they would have shared some features, as told within this video.
Funnel Beaker peoples were Neolithic farmers with some Western Hunter Gatherer mixture, whereas Corded Wear peoples were primarily descended from the Yamnaya people (Proto Indo-Europeans). But there seemed to have been a high incidence of blondness among the Funnel Beakers. He made a video about the Funnel Beakers.
please do villanovan and italic cultures
Maybe one day, sure, but I'm doing the Third Millennium BC first, that will take me ages.
You got an ancient guy on the preview poster with a nicely trimmed beard and washed shiny hairs, perhaps in the nearby`s cave was gillette and head and shoulders dealer centre
I think I read somewhere that people in the stone age people probably used obsibian blades to shave with.
Britain islands had like 4 major invasions ,first the bell beaker and corded ware PIE into neolithic farmers,then the britons that were Celtic,and then the Anglo-Saxons,and Then the Norman invasion
I do like a bit of corded ware.
يعني كل العالم من اليمن 🇾🇪✋😇🤗
Yamnaya are half Caucuses Hunter Gatherer and half Eastern Hunter Gatherer, right?
Even surprisingly, a significant amount of West Eurasian admixture of Uralians is CWC.
I would like to see video about Dniepro-Donets culture and their relation to Yamna or Corded Ware cultures. As well as to modern populations
It's funny you say that, I was just reading David Anthony's book yet again and decided to make a video about the relationship between the Neolithic farmers and the Hunter-Gatherers who became the steppe herders. How they obtained sheep and cattle and how it changed their societies - the emergence of chiefs and the change in burial customs etc. It's fascinating.
New evidence suggests corded ware culture was not descended from yamnaya but had a common ancestor that were que early-proto-indoeuropean people
I like how your chart calls it Netherlandic, although I'd prefer Netherlandish I think. Honestly Dutch is such a confusing term although I do love it.
But maybe we oughta apply it either as meaning 'continental Germanic' or just Germanic.
Thank you for your interesting videos. Please tell us about the ancestoral people and culture and languages of the Iranian people who moved to the Iranian territory. For example, I know Sintashta, Scythians, Alans, Osseta, Tocharians are all Iranian tribes (as far as I know). But I am not clear about the dates and the genetic traces.
Thanks for watching. I have a Sintashta video, please watch that one and the one on the first horse warriors.
Do Vinca Culture
What about the long house culture ? Not sure if they were part of this presentation? Thanks. Very interesting
So the Neolithic farmers that populated Europe prior to the arrival of the yamnaya mixed with the incoming yamnaya more heavily in the north of Europe. This can account for the phenotypical differences we see between northern and southern regions of Europe.
1:08 but how can the Corded Ware be descended from the Yamnaya if they have different Ydna? They were for sure extremely similar, but their difference in Ydna suggests they were more like brothers descended from a common source, the people speaking the actual PIE language, than one the father of the other!
True
That's because we have very limited samples from Yamnaya.
Mr Davis, I've watched your programs on Bronze Age peoples. They are good staying away of any unfounded speculations. However, the biggest misery of the period is how closely related, both genetically and culturally, are the Corded Ware and Yamnaya peoples. In the West, there is a tendency to regard all Protoindoeuropean as Yamnaya. Do you know of any evidence that might help to solve this mystery?
Yamnaya males mixed with Globular Amphora Culture females to create the Corded Ware culture.
The boundaries between cultures and timeframes isn't as clear cut as many researchers try to let on. The Yamnaya didn't just up and decide, one day, "Well, I'm tired of this *%#@. Tomorrow, we're doing Corded Ware!!" ;) It was a bit more complex - and, much more interesting than that. ;)
Yeah for sure this kind of ethnogenesis is complicated and still not well understood in detail. But generally speaking, these archeological cultures are often most strongly expressed at their edges. Material culture tends to be more fixed and conservative at the "border" with neighbouring cultures than in the interior. Suggesting that to some extent these peoples defined themselves by being "not those guys on the other side of the river." or whatever. This kind of thing is absolutely fascinating and trying to reconstruct it in fiction is challenging but great fun.
@@DanDavisHistory It's a fascinating puzzle, involving fascinating people, all around. ;) It's kept me engaged for a number of years, now.
This is probably the most historically significant culture in human history, and barely anyone has heard about them while experts know very little. Intensely fascinating.
Mesopotamia was.
@@ayodejiolowokere1076 I take your point but the descendents of these people, particularly through the British and the USA, have had undeniably the biggest and longest lasting impact on humanity. Just on language alone this is self-evident.
@@AS-hz8cv so when the most commonly spoken language was Aramaean? What about then?
These things change, it's the initiation that made the indelible impact.
@@ayodejiolowokere1076 Regardless of things changing, the impact of Aramean is not comparable to how much Indo-European languages (English, French, Spanish etc) dominate today not to mention the extent that European colonisation and expansion has shaped the world. The USA alone dwarves any other political entity in history in terms of its military, cultural and economic dominance possibly with the exception of the Roman Empire which was arguably also Indo-European (linguistically certainly).
@@AS-hz8cv in relativity to civilization it really isn't. Once the majority of civilization was Middle East bound. And where half the world's population was Achaemenid, Aramaean dominated in a way no modern European language has. These things change. What doesn't change is who got the ball rolling.
Looks like there is an Achilles heel in the weaponry of the Corded ware people. They did not wipe out the I1 of Scandinavia.
R1b can be found pretty much everywhere in Eurasia.
But it seems that Corded ware people joined forces with I1 men to some extent otherwise I1 could not have reached its position in the Nordic Bronze Age.
So did the ancient Iranians/Persians descend from the Corded Ware or Yamnaya culture?
I am of Indian-Brahmin heritage. When my DNA was uploaded to Genesis GEDMatch and parameters were set to ancient K12, it showed I had a lot of Yamnaya and Coded Ware heritage. That would explain why my family is much bigger and lighter skinned than the native Indian Dravidians.
what a stupid comment. u r not even indian cause then ull know from north to south there are brahmins.there are tamil brahmins,telgu brahmins,malyali brahmins,assamese brahmin etc.and not only brahmins all castes in india have more or less same genetics.r1a is found in all of them.india has the oldest r1a tmrca datings as well as most diverse r1a. yamnaya were r1b dominant people on the other hand.indo-iranians(real aryans) were r1a-z93 dominant(creators of vedas and avesta which are the oldest indo european literatures and sanskrit i much more sophisticated than hittite and arguably much older).even andronovo and sinthasta culture has no z93 to conclude migration or invasion.european supremacists will never learn or stop.

Where should I start with your fiction? I’m into Neolithic stories as well as the early copper age.
There's a link in the description to my novel Godborn. That's a good place to start,.
Did the neolithic farmers and yamnaya share an ancient common ancestor population?.. I ask because of the close geographic proximity between the Caucasian yamnaya steppe tribes and the anatolian neolithic farmers.. also agriculture appears to be a learned aryan behaviour the neolithic farmers kept from an earlier time...?
Yeah they did and I'm going to talk about that in my next video. They and the Anatolian farmers share Caucasus Hunter Gatherer (CHG) DNA. The other main element of Anatolian / Aegean Farmer DNA is Western Hunter Gatherer (WHG). And they pick up more WHG as they move west and north through Europe over the centuries. The other foundational population is Eastern Hunter Gatherer (EHG) which is shared by the steppe herders and the Scandinavian Hunter Gatherers.
@@DanDavisHistory Oh nice! this clarifies a lot for me! Thanks heaps! I look forward to that video!
I belong to the proud CordedWare culture. We are not afraid of all these Wireless tribes running wild with all their cordless magic trinkets.
Is that the same Baden from the HRE?
Bell Beaker built Stonehenge. Prove me wrong.
Curious that speakers of Uralic languages also have some Corded Ware ancestry. Any chance that not all of Corded Ware people spoke Indo-European languages?
Probably originally PIE (not descended directly from yamnaya) and then in the east some of them started speaking some sort of proto-Uralic
