Plague.

Steppeshitters caught it from raping horse.
Plague that mysteriously only kills the men and rapes all the women. Quite a bacteria. Why are (post ww2) historians always looking for whatever excuse that prevents them from just admitting it was war and conquest. Seriously they first claimed it was just pots not people, then that it was just language and cultural change, then that it was just a new ruling elite and now when theres irrefutable evidence of population change they claim it was disease instead of genocide.
nobody wants their ancestors too be rapists and massmurderers anon. they would much rather believe that they are the descendants of virtous men.
beakers were a massive leap in technology
unlike a stone tool which would probably fall apart after a couple hits, this thing would allow you to hit many heads consecutively
it went on to become the halberd, very popular weapon
Britain was Neolithic
Beakers mostly had copper and stone tool, not true tin bronze, and no metal swords or spears, just daggers.
Corded Ware used stone. They lived in 2000 BC but were using stone while 3000 BC Yamnaya were using copper.
Might be because there were no trade routes and no copper where a lot of Corded Ware lived. Like, in Baltics Corded Ware indo europeans mixed with local hunter gatherers who may have started to farm in few places were they could trade amber for animals, but that's about it.
Tin bronze wasn’t used anywhere in the third millennium bc, have the balls to call it copper.
>Tin bronze wasn’t used anywhere in the third millennium bc
Arsenic bronze was used in Iran in the fifth millennium BCE.
Arsenic bronze is not bronze
>bronze is not bronze
Okay brainlet.
Cope kang.
didnt
Brett and Dilkington were very common Beaker names, an' that.
HGs in britain were already assimilated by the local EEF there
No they were displaced. British EEF harboured 0 local hg ancestry, all their hg admixture was absorbed in continental Europe.
The mesilithic cavemen had already been 100% replaced
Goddamn racist Sardinians. Why didn't they accept the vibrant WHG culture?
British EEF already absorbed vibrant WHG culture. It made them genocide WHG from then on.
>British EEF harboured 0 local hg ancestry, all their hg admixture was absorbed in continental Europe.
I thought they had some of the highest WHG ancestry in Europe?
No
. We find overwhelming support for agriculture being introduced to Britain by incoming continental farmers, with small, geographically-structured levels of hunter-gatherer ancestry. Unlike other European Neolithic populations, we detect no resurgence of hunter-gatherer ancestry at any time during the Neolithic in Britain. Genetic affinities with Iberian Neolithic individuals indicate that British Neolithic people were mostly descended from Aegean farmers who followed the Mediterranean route of dispersal.

The only exception was Western Scotland
However, the lack of evidence for substantive WHG introgression into British Neolithic populations – outside of western Scotland – favours this cline reflecting multiple source populations with variable proportions of WHG admixture having entered different parts of Britain. This interpretation is consistent with archaeological evidence for regional British Neolithic cultures showing links to varied parts of mainland Europe2 and our qpGraph analysis indicating geographically-structured Neolithic Central European admixture. Overall, the regional variation in ancestry of British Neolithic populations likely reflects both differing degrees of admixture between farmers and local foragers (e.g. western Scotland), and multiple continental source populations carrying variable WHG and Neolithic Central European ancestry.
Non-Slavic WHG lines descend from that Scot
prove there were HGs still alive in 4000bce britain
they did, around 25%. he's probably saying that this was from HGs in france and iberia though and not britain
The Bell Beakers migrated to a Neolithic farmer Britain, not a Mesolithic hunter-gatherer one.
How come people don't understand this?
good vid on Beaker folk in Britain
