      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.

    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.

      Arsenic bronze was used in Iran in the fifth millennium BCE.

        Arsenic bronze is not bronze

    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.

        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.

          https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6520225/

          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.
