    What Happened to the Last European Hunter Gatherer:

    This is so cool. Learning about the advent of agriculture has come in stages for me. In high school it's like "growing your own food means people can stay in one place and store food, leaving free time to develop specialized crafts." Then I read something by Jared Diamond about "actually early agriculture sucked, most people worked harder and were slightly malnourished." Which begs the question of how it caught on. This is a much more inclusive take that gets at the nuance of it. For a while they'd coexist, and by virtue of producing more people, eventually farmers win out and absorb the less populous hunter-gatherers, but since their way of life came with such advantages, they join farmer society in a privileged position. And the spread of genes and customs bares this out. Neat!

      Yeah, it isn't even necessarily just producing more people, but that the farmers can support more on each square kilometre, so the hunter gatherers can't push them out militarily even if individually the hunter gatherers were healthier and stronger.

      It is assumed that the transition from Hunter Gatherer in the middle east the result of women produced more food by gathering corn, than men by hunting animals. This led to a change of lifestyle from a hunter dominated society to an agricultural society.
      Maybe from there comes the tale of Adam and Eve. Agricultural lifestyles mean less protein more hydrocarbons. Our digestive system was not made for that. People had problems with their teeth's, had to work hard to change woodland into farmland and the surplus population was always forced to migrate to new lands.
      Maybe the people remembered the good old times as paradise and the new lifestyle as the punishment of God for eating the forbidden fruit. ;-)
      Also, people grow smaller with mainly grain nutrition. Farm women could get pregnant every year.
      While Hunter-Gatherer who need to follow the animal migration could only have 1 toddler per woman. Means women could have only every 3 - 5 years a new baby.
      The reason why Hunter Gather took over in the Neolithic, could be caused by the invention of the Bow and Arrow. Before a fight between two groups took place in close combat and there numbers play a bigger role than skill.

      Agriculture had other advantages. 1) Brewing beer. Some say that was the first reason to grow crops. In Central Sweden still during the Bronze Age archaeologists believe crops where mainly used for that, since each farm had very small fields; but large grazing areas for animals. They had fences around the fields to stop the livestock to enter, not fences around the animal herds. 2) Hunter Gatherers most of the time moved with the seasons, meaning long travels by foot. Old people, sick people etc. where probably left behind to die. You could also have more tools and equipment to make life easier; hunter gatherers can only have what they can carry.

    Excellent! About the best video on these matters I have watched probably ever, and this is a qualified opinion from a formerly referential blogger (by the nickname Maju) on these issues, which have fascinated me for decades.
    I'm absolutely delighted that it becomes finally apparent and hopefully mainstream that there were two stages in the main European Neolithic, which I call Vasconic-1 (with Sardinian-like genetics, older) and Vasconic-2 (with Basque-like genetics, admixed of V1/EEF and WHG, more recent but until now of obscure roots). It's also great that it seems now apparent that Y-DNA R1b-Western is acknowledged as of WHG origin and not Indoeuropean, an issue which was obvious to me but not to many others and on which I've engaged on endless online debates. There are two such lineages: R1b-U106 seems related to the North European admixture you mention first, probably of Danish or nearby roots, while the more widespread R1b-S116 is clearly from an Aquitanian or nearby origin.
    My take would be that (maybe among other reasons) after the Neolithic climate optimum, early farming was not so good for Western and Northern Europe anymore and thus pastoralists and fishermen, with stronger WHG ancestry almost naturally: those are professions more fit for recycled hunter-gatherers than "nekazari" (i.e. "farmer" but literally "efforter", "worker" in the sense of "hard work", "tiredness", in Basque) and also having selected for lactose tolerance (which AFAIK first shows up in the Chalcolithic Upper Ebro Valley as minority population in military cemeteries), which allowed those populations to much better withstand famine on goat superproduce: milk and meat (goats are sturdy, easy to feed = "cheap", and have been the main milk provider all the way to the Middle Ages and even later; unlike sheep, grown mostly for wool, they produce milk almost year round).
    As for the CHG element, those are actually Neolithic ("Iran" type) populations which originated in the Halafian culture and spread c. 5000 or 5500 BCE into large parts of Asia Minor and the Balcans (but not all the Balcans and there was also a Vasconic-1 backflow from the north into Bulgaria anyhow). I call them Pelasgo-Tyrsenians because I am quite certain that they are ancestral to these populations in Bronze Age Aegean area and later to the Etruscans of Italy (early Iron Age migration but offshoot of the "Sea Peoples" anyhow). The influx of such genetics in Italy prior to the Iron Age probably reprensents admixture in the Balcans and lesser flows from that area, otherwise pre-Indoeuropean Italians and Sardinians look very much like EEFs (Vasconic-1).
    As for the Pitted War people, first time I heard that they pushed the Neolithics/Megalithists out, I have to double check that claim. In any case they were not truly native to Scandinavia but an arrival from Eastern Europe. Their ultimate roots are in the Dniepr-Don culture, which was SHG in genetics surely, i.e. WHG with lesser EHG (West Uralic) admixture, and adopted or developed a unique Neolithic (but with strong HG continuities) culture in the region and then expanded to Belarus and the Baltic. The further north they went the less farmer they were but even in Gotland there is evidence of some cereal farming and pig herding anyhow, they were not true hunter-gatherers but a Neolithic group of abroirginal European roots. My knowledge of Scandinavian prehistory rather says that both populations were actually destroyed or enslaved by the Indoeuropean invasion of the Corded Ware culture, known in Scandinavia also as Single Burial culture (in contrast to the collective burial of the Megalithists of Funnelbeaker culture). This Funnelbeaker culture (originally from Denmark and southern Sweden) is probably at the root of the WHG-admixed late Neolithic populations in the North.

      Wouldn't they also then be in Indo-Iranian, since it also comes from the Corded Ware culture (that originated from around east central Europe and from which Balto-Slavic, and maybe elements of Germanic, also came)? I've heard that proposal for Germanic (of a WHG substratum) but not for Balto-Slavic. It's a fascinating topic. I'll have to read your source.

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's because they add up Dniepr-Don (root of Pitted Ware) SHG, which is mostly WHG with lesser EHG, with Indoeuropean ancestry (which is essentially Caucasus-Iran-Balochistan plus EHG, around 50-50). Ironically they have no WHG-specific inputs until the Corded Ware invasion (which was essentially Indoeuropean genetics but incorporated some admixed EEF-WHG). What we have to understand here is that: (1) SHG is almost all WHG but with some EHG (West Uralic), (2) EHG itself is also not too different from WHG (just has some East Asian/Siberian admixture) and thus shows as generic paleoeuropean in most analyses anyhow.

    Interesting but - what if the Anatolian farmers were a mix of WHG and Anatolian peoples. The reason I say this is because Sardinians have been postulated to be almost the same genetically as those Neolithic farmers and they have a high incidence of I2 Y chromosomes. Unless Hg I evolved somewhere else as well as Western Europe, that would mean that they ultimately (the men at least) came from Western Europe originally.

    • @thehistoricalhierophant6019
      @thehistoricalhierophant6019  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think so, my understanding is that even though Sardinians have the majority of their ancestry coming from Anatolian farmers, their male lineages still preserve the Mesolithic I2 haplogroup to this day.

    • @bconni2
      @bconni2 ปีที่แล้ว

      the evidence shows that most of the WHG were basically wiped out by the Anatolian peoples. what happened to many of the indigenous people in the Americas the last 500 or so years, already happened in most of Europe 8,000 years ago. but this is the history of the human species. whoever moves in with the superior technology either assimilates with the local population , kills them off, or both. what happened in the Americas is nothing new.

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The answer probably is that the admixture with Balcanic (or other) Paleoeuropeans was not homogeneous and that some populations got a greater deal of such WHG admixture than others, notably on the male side (Y-DNA I2). Some study from years ago showed that prior to the refugee waves from Italy in the Bronze-Iron Age transition (Italo-Celtic invasion first, Etruscan/Teresh and Sicel/Sekelesh invasion later), Sardinians were more strongly WHG-admixed than later on, what probably explains their high Y-DNA I2, along with founder effects.
      It's intriguing that the Sardinian I2 has a trail around the Pyrenees further west all the way to the Basque Country, albeit at lower frequencies and that this can be tracked to the oldest sequenced Languedocine farmers (from the Copper Age anyhow), which had G2a and I2-Sardinian. As the archaeological sequence shows that France and Iberia were settled from Liguria, it suggests that the Sardinians (and presumably early Corsicans) also stemmed from that area or maybe from closely related pops. from Tuscany.

  • @j-rocgood7680
    @j-rocgood7680 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    So the Hunters Gathers were greatly outnumbered by the Anatolian farmers in these regions and yet their male lineages are very proportionally overrepresented, signaling high status and dominance, possibly from conquest.
    We may have historical analogies to this, such as with the Mongols in China or Vikings in Normandy. The Mongols and Vikings were foreign conquerors and a minority of the population, but they assimilated into the wider culture of their subjects and interbred with local women. Despite assimilating into their vanquished subject's culture, they were still the ruling high status elite. Perhaps we see a similar dynamic With the hunter gathers and farmers.

      Its an interesting comparison, the main differences being that here the HGs were the 'native' inhabitants of the continent, and that their way of life is seen as archaic by conventional wisdom.

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The success of the Neolithic expansion culminated with the climate maximum and then things went rather down, especially in the less adequate Atlantic and Northern climates, where there was probably an increase of pastoralism afterwards. Hunter-gatherers turned Neolithic would surely have chosen (and we do have some archaeological and anthropological evidence for that) into herders and fishermen rather than actual sedentary farmers, as it is a more similar lifestyle., adopting farming as complement as best. These herders, especially those who selected for lactose tolerance, would have a survival advantage when the climate worsened (gradually but steadily and with some bumps anyhow). This was probably a factor, especially at first.
      In any case we do observe cultural (and thus likely demographic) expansions that can be associated with this counter-advance of the admixed Atlantic farmers: first the Funnelbeaker culture (first in Denmark and Southern Sweden) dramatically expanded East of the Rhine, probably carrying with it R1b-U106. Later we observe a strong association of R1b-S116 expansion (probably rooted in or near Aquitaine) along with Bell Beaker culture, which, unlike some have happily claimed, was definitely not Indoeuropean. And prior or parallel to that was the expansion of Artenacian culture (also bowmen but without the "luxurious" trader lifestyle of Bell Beaker people) from Aquitaine northwards. More confusing is the expansion in Iberia, which in some areas may be as late as Bronze Age.
      So I'd say it was probably a mix of two processes: first a consolidation of "mestizo" herders with lactose tolerance as key nutritional advantage (all the way to recent times goat milk with something else, such as acorn bread or cereals, has been the food of the poor), then expansion of those populations via war and trade, first in the north (Funnelbeaker, prior to the Indoeuropean expansion), then in the west (Bell Beaker primarily but not only, after the Indoeuropean invasion of Central and Northern Europe but causing a whole millenium of stability).

      Well, early agriculture was presumably quite archaic too, I would assume. I can see that in my own country, while we have areas of fertile land among the most productive in Europe, there are also large expanses of land, like where I'm living, that aren't terribly suitable for agriculture and where many kind of crops simply aren't grown. When you see that as late as the middle ages, agricultural productivity was ludicrously low (it could be as low as two grains harvested for one seeded), neolithic farmers, with inferior techniques, very inferior tools, no work animals (I think), presumably even less productive cereals, and a much smaller number of cultivated plants, might have been unable to make a living in many regions. Hence that an optimal use of the land might have resulted in areas inhabited by farmers and others by hunter-gatherers. @@thehistoricalhierophant6019

    Blue eyes help in seeing in the dark, and that would be extremely helpful in hunting. They're basically light reflectors. We see colored eyes in fiercesome wild animals all over the world. That's why a lot of us people find colored eyes in people as attractive. Personally, I first considered blue eyes as "shiny like a gemstone"; I only see blue eyes in foreigners. Hopefully this helps us dissociate blue eyes appreciation from racists.
    The male line in much of Europe is from Eastern hunter gatherers (R), though, but the Western hunter gatherers (I) kept the male line in the north up to now. Perhaps WHG had the male line in Europe before, and then the EHG male line through Indo-Europeans invaded them.

    a farming society can feed much more people per area than hunter - gatherer societies. They just outnumbered the indigeneous people. But still mixed. I bet the new way of living was attractive to some of the hunter-gatherer people. In the end the baltic people today are going back to hunter gatherer by app 30%. That is not insignificant. Where the farmers arrived earlier and lived for longer time, the hunter-gatherer part is small, f.e. sardinia. Also the later steppe herders did not have much impact there. I do agree that there probably was hostility but not necessarily everywhere and between all the different groups and not all the centuries and millenia of contact.

      We are talking about the formation of warrior culture. Warrior culture would have been a foreign concept to a paleolithic hunter gatherer so this was probably a gradual societal change that went in tandem from worshipping fertility godesses to the god of war and with developments in warfare technology e.g. stone axes followed by bronze weapons and domesticated horses.
      For fertility worshipping hunter gatherers their interest was probably to impregnate lots of women folk so they probably fked around a lot, this is not necessarily an indication of substantial armed conflict. Maybe they just walked into a village, screwed all the chicks with 0 resistance then went to the next village to do it again.
      If you were a neolithic farmer girl would you want some out of shape farm boy who stands about in a field all day or would you want some hunky mysterious traveller to woo you with stories of his adventures then have his way with you before disappearing into the night so that boring farm boy can raise the child?
      I think warfare, surplus, religion and stratification of society developed together. It's not possible to have surplus and stratification without walled settlements, I think there is often a propensity to look at the past before societal stratification had evolved as a cultural zeitgeist and apply a current day lens of societal stratification, religion and warfare. People think either the farmers were in charge or the hunters were in charge but it's much more likely that no-one was in charge. There was no elite but it's impossible for the modern human to understand a society without stratification.

    Why do you assume a WHG dominance based on male lineage? Maybe it was the Farmers’ daughters who held dominance (because farmers will always out-gather browser gathers. The Farm women chose Hunters because they could bring home the meat.

    • @thehistoricalhierophant6019
      @thehistoricalhierophant6019  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Because the HG were a small minority (relatively) yet their male lineages predominated, so clearly it was not just coincidence. Also the last part of what you said is something I directly mentioned in the video, that farmer women may have prefered hunter gatherer men because they were just generally 'fitter'. I'd have to do more research but it does not seem that HG men always pefered farmer women, since 'native' European maternal lineages have survived, even to this day, notably u5, which is what I have.

    It is difficult to find the truth because comparing genes of different human races is now strictly enforced taboo. Here are quotations from article published in The Atlantic (Mar 14, 2018). Its title is 'Ancient DNA Is Rewriting Human (and Neanderthal) History':
    "Geneticist David Reich... once had German collaborators drop out of a study when the initial findings seemed to mirror too closely Nazi propaganda about the Aryan race... In Europe, for example, ancient DNA is identifying waves of migrations into the continent, in which groups of people serially replaced, or nearly replaced, the local population... The first modern human samples we have in Europe are about 40,000 years old and are genetically not at all related to present-day Europeans. They seem to be from extinct, dead-end groups. After that, you see for the first time people related to later European hunter-gatherers who have contributed a little bit to present-day Europeans. That happens beginning 35,000 to 37,000 years ago... After 9,000 years ago, there’s a mass movement of farmers into the region which almost completely replaces the hunter-gatherers with a small amount of mixture. And then again, after 5,000 years ago, there’s this mass movement at the beginning of the Bronze Age of people from the steppe, who also probably bring these languages that are spoken by the great majority of Europeans today... Archaeology has always been political, especially in Europe."
