Arrival of Beaker folk changed Britain forever, ancient DNA study shows

>The largest ever study on ancient DNA has shown that Britain was changed forever by the arrival of the Beaker folk, a wave of migrants about 4,500 years ago who brought with them new customs, new burial practices, and beautiful, distinctive bell-shaped pottery.

>The very existence of the Beaker folk – whose ancestry lay in central Europe and further east to the Steppes – and Beaker culture has been questioned in the past. The actual beakers, striking clay drinking vessels with an elegant flared lip, were clearly among the most treasured possessions of the people who were buried with them, and have been excavated from graves across Europe for centuries. However, archaeologists could not agree whether they represented a fashion spread by trade and imitation, or a culture diffused by migration.

>Now a massive international project, involving hundreds of scientists and archaeologists and almost all the major laboratories in the field, has provided some of the answers. Using samples of more than 400 prehistoric skeletons from across Europe, researchers have uncovered new information about a period when a wave of migration rolled westward across Europe, almost totally displacing the earlier population in many places – including Britain.

Cheers for the heads up, interesting findings.

There is also another recent paper titled Population Replacement in Early Neolithic Britain. And again, most of Mesolithic Hunter Gatherers were replaced by Farmers.
They were later replaced by Bell Beakers. And we are talking about Americas level of catastrophe. Just look at this.

This is old fucking news.

The paper was finally peer-reviewed and published in Nature.

>Huge waves of migrants won't transform the population, goy, you're just being a nadsi |>

Haven't we known for years that the existing populations of Europe were displaced by migrantions from Central Asia whom brought new language and styles of potttery?

The populations in Europe weren't fully replaced. in Britain Beakers replaced some 90% of the former population.

I'll admit that genetic history is the most interesting aspect of scientific history for me. Questions like to what extent invasions and migrations affected the people involved and changed the ethnic makeup of modern regions. I'd like to know what %of the Balkans is genetically Slavic or Hungary Magyar for example.
For too long we have been relying on linguistic analysis which would only require cultural change rather than replacement or genocide

>pots aren't peo-

>population replacement is bad
>except when it's roving bands of fellow /pol/niggers shitting up decent discussion on other boards

Well, sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't.

>We detected limited genetic affinity between Beaker-complex-associated individuals from Iberia and central Europe, and thus exclude migration as an important mechanism of spread between these two regions. However, migration had a key role in the further dissemination of the Beaker complex. We document this phenomenon most clearly in Britain, where the spread of the Beaker complex introduced high levels of steppe-related ancestry and was associated with the replacement of approximately 90% of Britain’s gene pool within a few hundred years, continuing the east-to-west expansion that had brought steppe-related ancestry into central and northern Europe over the previous centuries.

They were isolated for some 4000 years. I bet Beakers introduced some diseases that wiped out the original population like in Central and South America. They found Yamna skeletons with plague germs.

That Noble Savage Shieet has been dead since Keeley at least.

Ov vey anudda Shoah.

>Bell Beakers from Central Europe
>Germany
Just another crime committed by the enemies of mankind.

>You will never be a Steppe invader falling in love with the beautiful big browned neolithic girl across the channel and kidnap her from the family she belongs to for you to become the new Pater Familias of your own.

Praise Dyeus.

Neolithic girls were quite light skinned.

I meant big brown eyed*

I know they had light skin, brown hair and brown eyes although some would have had blue eyes.

>Stonehenge has a proud place in Britain's history as one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe.

>But, according to a major new study, modern-day Britons are barely related to the ingenious Neolithic farmers who built the monument 5,000 years ago.

>Instead the British are related to the 'Beaker people' who travelled from modern-day Holland and all but wiped out Stonehenge's creators.

>The findings are 'absolutely sort of mind-blowing,' said archaeologist Barry Cunliffe, a professor emeritus at the University of Oxford.

>'They are going to upset people, but that is part of the excitement of it.'

>The Beaker people reached Britain around 4,500 years ago, and within 500 years, almost completely wiped out the original inhabitants. Researchers still aren't sure how this happened, but they suggest disease may be the cause, as the Beaker people were a peaceful population

>Many experts believed it was just Beaker pottery-making and culture which was exported to Britain between 4,400 and 4,700 years ago - not the people themselves.

>But the new evidence comes from DNA analysis of 400 prehistoric skeletons, some from after Stonehenge and others born before it was created.

>The genes of these ancient people provide enough clues to determine that Beakers travelled here from Holland and took over in a few centuries.

>They replaced 90 per cent of the Neolithic farmers who built the monument and had lived here for 1,500 years.

>The creators of Stonehenge appeared Mediterranean, with olive-hued skin, dark hair and eyes.

But the Beaker people were more like white modern British people, with fair skin, lighter hair and eyes.

The Beaker people may have killed off the ancient engineers behind Stonehenge by bringing the bubonic plague to Britain.

>but they suggest disease may be the cause, as the Beaker people were a peaceful population
lol, where did they get this from? We don't know if they were peaceful or not. But peaceful Neolithic man is a retarded meme, including farmers. While they didn't find any weapons in Vinca or Cucuteni Trypillia sites they found mass graves in Germany and other places.

>18 skulls were marked with wounds indicating the sharp edge of adzes of the Linearbandkeramik or Linear Pottery culture (LBK); 14 skulls were similarly marked with wounds produced from the blunt edge of adzes, and 2–3 had wounds produced by arrows.

Have sources?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talheim_Death_Pit

Cultural Marxists really believe in the Noble Savage. After all, acknowledging the rape ape that is man would really be a letdown for creating a better world short of eugenics.

>Such violence did not enter the region until the invasion of tribes following the Kurgan Culture in the fourth millennium BC.[5] Until the invasion of the Kurgan peoples, the region was an agrarian society, settled and content, with no reason for the populations to become violent with one another.[5] The invasion uprooted the sedentary tribes, and caused chaos in the area. The LBK entered an unsettled “dark age” of disunity.[6] Violence in the area came as a result of this chaos, because unsettled tribes became belligerent as they competed with neighbors. All of this occurred hundreds of years after the death of the 34 humans at Talheim.
Look how Gimbutas tried to blame it on Indo-European.
>LBK weapons
>hundred years before IE appeared
>Western Germany
Umm, they turned into violent psychopaths because of le evil white people from the East!

>At least 26 individuals were violently killed by blunt force and arrow injuries before being deposited in a commingled mass grave. Although the absence and possible abduction of younger females has been suggested for other sites previously, a new violence-related pattern was identified here: the intentional and systematic breaking of lower limbs. The abundance of the identified perimortem fractures clearly indicates torture and/or mutilation of the victims. The new evidence presented here for unequivocal lethal violence on a large scale is put into perspective for the Early Neolithic of Central Europe and, in conjunction with previous results, indicates that massacres of entire communities were not isolated occurrences but rather were frequent features of the last phases of the LBK.

Why the fuck don’t they do these studies on Etruscans we already knew this shit about le Stonehenge

What the fuck are they waiting for?

They focus on countries like the UK so they can find discoveries of genocide and ethnic replacement to possibly use for justification of modern migration.

Yeah pol whatever, there is a preference for Western countries for a reason, not saying it is flawed but the way they present it clearly has an agenda to it.

WTF, I support white genocide now!

Western Europeans were always genocidal maniacs, colour me surprised.

>intel

Nope. I don't care about any of it. Both /pol/ and /leftypol/ are the same shit, just like Nazis and Commies.

BB seem to be an alcoholic and savage culture that genocided everyone in sight.

>This is what we feared. The paleface is a demon...

>Pretending chimps don't have war and rape

Bell Beakers seem exactly like that. Chimps.

>intel/leftypol in action

Or maybe it's a Pajeet.

>Stonehenge 3 IV was rather shabbily built compared to its immediate predecessors, as the newly re-installed bluestones were not well-founded and began to fall over.
BRAVO WHITOIDS.

Did the Beaker people all have orange hair and high pitched voices?

So a Pajeet then. Found a toilet?

Turk/Beaner poster found.

Nice projections. But explain to me what Bell Beakers have to do with Pajeets? Conquerors of India came from Corded Ware.

>North Euros derive almost totally from a single racial source
Guess who was right again?

biorxiv.org/highwire/filestream/82058/field_highwire_adjunct_files/11/267443-8.pdf

The Brits before Beakers weren't Niggers (see this chart) so Niggers still don't have a claim.

>North Euros derive almost totally from a single racial source
They don't.

Not the Nazis since Eastern Europeans are more related to the Yamnaya and similar (Proto-Indo-Europeans/Aryans) than Krauts.

Not him but Corded Ware and Bell Beaker were closely related to Yamna and so each other too.
>b--bbut-muh HAPLOGFROYUP!!
Means virtually nothing for patriarchal steppe societies. The genetic horizon was homogenized through female mediated gene flow. Earliest Corded Ware was autosomally homogenic with Yamna.

They both originated in Khvalynsk, that's why they're similiar, even Anthony assumes so now. Does that prove your point that North Europeans come from "one source" ? Because they don't. No one does.

Nazi autism science has nothing to do with modern research.

Khvalynsk doesn't match the EHG-CHG ratio we see in Corded Ware though and anyway an origin for the relevant R1a and R1b subclades in Khvalynsk doesn't dispute what I said.
Female mediated gene flow kept the Corded Ware ancestral population(maybe near Kiev) both R1a and identical with R1b Yamna.

How the fuck did they manage to maintain dark skin that far North? Did they eat a fuckton of fish to make up for the lack of vitamin D?

> Revisiting records of 100 years ago the authors demonstrate that the ambiguous dating of the trilithons, the grand centrepiece of Stonehenge, was based on samples taken from the wrong context, and can now be settled at 2600-2400 cal BC. This means that the trilithons are contemporary with Durrington Walls, near neighbour and Britain's largest henge monument. These two monuments, different but complementary, now predate the earliest Beaker burials in Britain – including the famous Amesbury Archer and Boscombe Bowmen, but may already have been receiving Beaker pottery.
Farmers built Stonehenge and returned to their home planet, there wasn't any replacement.

Would you?

So Slavic.

Looks more like Dutch honestly.

Not really

Something I've been wandering for a long time is whether the Grooved Ware culture from Orkney which built Stonehenge after migrating south was more WHG than average farmers. I think the answer should be in this paper since they have some relevant samples.

No, they were farmers from Iberia. It's quite ironic because apparently those Iberian farmers almost completely replaced local British Hunter-Gatherers, just to be replaced later by Bell Beakers.

Here is the not-yet reviewed article.

biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/02/18/267443

The Sicilian one is a Med...

Orkney is in the northern fringe of Britain. If admixture with locals happened, it happened there.
Also possible that the locals weren't related to Cheddar man but other WHG from mainland since there's the Doggerland connection.

They were Abos if anything, niggers don't have noses like this.

Italian commie government refuse to fund any of these researches. Better to waste money on welfare for Nigerian "refugees".

If you mean the remains in the picture, then they are Dinaric and Nordic.

Future:
Blue - R1b
Red - J, E1b1a

>The Mosque phenomenon and the genomic transformation of northwest Europe

So was it the Neolithic farmers who brought with them light skin? or was their any physical changes brought to Britain by the Beaker Culture?

Even lighter skin, light hair color and blue eyes (blue-eyed WHG were mostly replaced by brown-eyed farmers).

The beaker woman doesn't look much different to the neolithic man her people replaced.

Based on what?
Beakers were mixed though with Hungarian and Austrian farmers.

>romans
>m*Dshit
>non-Indo-Germanic

Based on what?
The reconstructions

>Indo-Germanic
No such thing.

Romans were so great due to Etruscan and Greek genes.

Nope. They were great because of their Nordic race :)
lmgtfy.com/?q=Indo-Germanic

>lmgtfy.com/?q=Indo-Germanic
Like I said, no such thing. Here are the correct terms you were looking for:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European

Reconstructions aren't proof. This particular one was made before we knew that the dark people were replaced by the light people.

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Indo-Germanic
Indo-Germanic is an uncucked term.

Nah our women's faces aren't that large

Those were mutts. Many of them were of Sabine origin who were plebeians during the Roman Republic (for example Flavians). It's funny how the best emperor was actually dark-haired, lol.

So all modern Britons are descended from these steppe invaders that came to Britain around 2500 BC, rather than being descended from those who lived in Britain before then. Is this correct?

I'm confused because I could have sworn I read before that all Britons are descended from an ethnic group that arrived in the 1200s BC.

They are, Dutch women are known for wide faces and man jaws.

>It's funny how the best emperor was actually dark-haired, lol.
Augustus was blond.

it was observation on the reconstructions thats all
And we've known for awhile that light skin is relatively recent cheddar man isnt some major discovery in that regard if that's what your implying

Augustus was a brown-haired manlet with shitty teeth and even worse eyes and his skin was "between fair and dark".
And he wasn't the best emperor. Without Agrippa this faggot would be nobody.

So you now understand that the reconstruction didn't look like that, right?

>He had clear, bright eyes, in which he liked to have it thought that there was a kind of divine power, and it greatly pleased him, whenever he looked keenly at anyone, if he let his face fall as if before the radiance of the sun; but in his old age he could not see very well with his left eye. His teeth were wide apart, small, and ill-kept; his hair was slightly curly and inclining to golden; his eyebrows met. His ears were of moderate size, and his nose projected a little at the top and then bent slightly inward.110 His complexion was between dark and fair. He was short of stature

>It is said that his body was covered with spots and that he had birthmarks scattered over his breast and belly, corresponding in form, order and number with the stars of the Bear in the heavens;112 also numerous callous places resembling ringworm, caused by a constant itching of his body and a vigorous use of the •strigil. He was not very strong in his left hip, thigh, and leg, and even limped slightly at times; but he strengthened them by treatment with sand and reeds.113 He sometimes found the forefinger of his right hand so weak, when it was numb and shrunken with the cold, that he could hardly use it for writing even with the aid of a finger-stall of horn. He complained of his bladder too, and was relieved of the pain only after passing stones in his urine.

>his shoes somewhat high-soled, to make him look taller than he really was

Whoa, so this is the legendary master race? Pure-blooded German king!

He was a Nordic.
Even metapedia says so :)
de.metapedia.org/wiki/Nordische_Rasse#M.C3.A4nner

>Even metapedia says so

The neolithic reconstruction was done 5 years ago its not an archaic representation.

>posting brainlets because you are too pathetic to accept the fact
Stop COPING. Augustus was a Nordic.

Were Nordics weak manlets with bad teeth, darkish complexion and hooked noses? Maybe he was Nordic then.

It is outdated. Back then most Brits still thought they had something to do with Stonehenge builders. New reconstruction needs to make him look more Mediterranean than any living person.

He was classified as Nordic by the main German racial scientist, Hans F. K. Günther, I think he knew better than you...

Metapedia is trash and so was Gunther.

So Nordics were ugly manlets then? Okay, makes sense. After all Augustus was a weak perfidious cunt so it only fits he was a German.

Wasn't Kennewick Man also Nordic? Does this mean Germans are more closely related to American Indians than to Indo-Aryans?

Nope, he was an expert on anthropology, not a random butthurt sw*Rthoid on Veeky Forums. And he said Augustus was Nordic, and so confirmede Pliny and Suetonius.
