  • What happened to the Old European? Meaning the original people groups of Europe that inhabited the landmass before the arrival of the Indo-Europeans, a group which would later evolve into the vast majority of European nations we see today, from the Russians, Italians, Irish, Norwegians and Greeks.
    Although precious little is known, there are clues left behind in the archaeology, genetics, linguistics and historical texts that have been passed down through the generations, which gives us a somewhat fuzzy picture of pre-historic Europe. Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the pre-Indo-European Europeans and let me know which culture you think is the most interesting. Thanks for watching!

    Years past a DNA test was done on a 3,000 year old body from a English bog. The local villagers were tested. The far, far, far removed son was found and lived in a British pub. We have jets, ships, cars, and spacecraft. But the descendants of the bog man never made it past the local pub. That's how the aliens kept us on earth. We were given beer.

    in 1976 i spent about a week in Cagliari, Sardinia and was impressed with the city and what i saw of the island. i met an airbrush artist named Mario Massa whose work was fantastic fantasy from his mind and soul. enjoyed supper in his apartment with his wife and young son and communicated pretty well with an Italian/English translating book. while there i had the feeling that i was in a very remote part of the world,but of course i wasn't ,geographically. Cagliari will always be a special memory.

He sent his younger brother back there the next day to get his crutches. Some of them Old Europeans were something else.

      In Greek establisments in south balkans and Aegean sea there had been evidences of writing system, Grammiki A and Grammiki B. The second one has been proved that it was the ancestor of Classic Greek writing system. But the turing point was the conection with Phoenicians where Greeks let down the ideogram writing system and passed to the more robust alphabet. Actually we can se Grammiki B as the bridge between ieroglyphic Grammiki A to the Classic Greek writing system. So you have a point, but is not the whole story.

      It is odd how a ethnic heritage narrative can be passed on whether right or wrong. Look at Iberia for example, you NEVER hear about Celtic Iberia and later visigoth Iberia and it's affect on culture. Yet schools are quick to teach about Arab and Islamic influence on Iberia. You ever wonder why they do that? I have a Sicilian friend who is so proud of it and has the shirts and flags and all that but when I told him about viking settlements there, he refused to believe it till I showed him castles and literal evidence and even then he brushed it off because it's not what he wants to hear. This is so common today and it's strange. It's like people want to believe something specific rather than reality.

      They are not as independent as normally thought:
      -Culturally they share a lot of traditions, foods and clothing with the rest of northwest (Celtic) Spain.
      -Their houses are very similar to the ones in Germany.
      -Old Spanish language (Castillian) was like Asturian-Leonese vocabulary spoken with Basque-Navarrese intonation (even Don Quixote has a jest about that fact), since both Asturians and Basques migrated to Castilla.
      I agree that their language, and some traditions (for example, history shows a more cooperativistic and feministic approach to life than their neighbours) are pretty unique to them.

      @@exocet8834 You need to read up more on Luigi Cavali-Sforza. He was a geneticist who just happened to stumble across what seemed to be a relationship between languages and ethnicities as part of his genetic classification studies. And these studies were of global populations. I wonder what European reactions would be to your claim that the ethnicities have become all muddled together. I have a friend who is Hungarian and I don't think he sees himself as being anything but Hungarian. Yeah, there may have been some genetic mixing because of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but that empire was essentially two co-equal states sharing power with each other. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of mixing going on.
      Okay, so I should have written that Hungarian and Finnish are part of a language *family* isolate. Same difference. Basque is truly unique, a genuine language isolate. But Korean is not. More recent studies have indicated that it is related structurally to Japanese. I studied Japanese at the college level and I've listened to a lot of Korean dialog and I can attest that these two languages are clearly related. I don't understand why it took the linguistic community so long to recognise this. However, it would definitely appear that Korean and Japanese also form a language *family* isolate. I know of no other language closely related to these two. Some folks claim Altaic is related, but I think that's BS, personally.

    • @palachinov
      @palachinov 3 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      So the Ainu, like most human populations likely had more than one lineage - Y-haplogroup D is dominant in Ainu men which is shared with Tibeto-Burmans and the Andamanese, as well as indigenous populations of South-East Asia like the Veddas of Sri Lanka, Negritos of the Philippines and the Maniq of southern Thailand/northern Malaya which does suggest that they are partly descended from one of the earliest out-of-Africa migrations. Australian aboriginals predominantly belong to male haplogroup C if I'm not mistaken - about 25% of Ainu men also belong to Y-haplogroup C-M217 but this branched off from Australian/Melanesian/Papuan earlier on and possibly before reaching the Indian subcontinent. C-M217 is shared with some Siberian/north-east Asian peoples so there is a possibility that there was some back-migration westwards, especially when we consider nomadic lifestyles. This haplogroup is also found in some North American native populations also which suggests these genes went across with humans migrating over the Bering land bridge during the last glacial maximum.

      Finno Ugric people is actually quite a broad group and not very precisely defined people. For example Hungarians speak a Finno -Ugric language and their closest surviving language relative are the Mansi and Khanty people living in Siberia, but the active speakers of those are down in the thousands I beleive. Also keep in mind, that while a language may tie a certain group of people together, their ethnic origin might be different. Hungarians spent hundreds of years all over current territories of Kazakhstan and Russia as nomads and they picked up plenty of influence of languages from around that area, but not necessarily ethnically related to them, although mixing was definitely happening. As some theories suggest from various verbal history - myths and legends and tradition, there is that possibility that many nations arriving to Europe perhaps were not "new" people in a sense, but their ancestors might have lived in Europe previously as hunter gatherers or early farmers before a climate change (ice age) which forced them to flee their continent and kept their records of their original homeland where they must return, once things turned favorable again.

    Paternal Haplogroup I was not mentioned in the video. It is the only Haplogroup to develop in Europe (Native) from IJ. It broke into two main subgroups, I1 and I2. I1 is found in the highest percentages in the Scandinavian and North Germanic male. I2 is found in the highest percentages in Dinaric Alps (Balkans) today, but in the upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic era they were the overwhelming dominant majority haplogroup from Britain (Cheddar Man), Spain (Cro-Magnon) to the Balkans and everything in between. I2 is also the most frequent paternal haplogroup of Sardinia as well. They were the Western Hunter Gatherers of Europe. Natives. Much later, the Indo-Europeans R1a and R1b came in with greater technology and displaced/dispatched many of them and instituted a farming culture replacing the hunter gatherer lifestyle. Haplogroup I preceeds E and N in Europe, but they arrived prior to the IEs during the Mesolithic.

They're digging up the core samples right now and its going to re-define how we view history. Really fascinating stuff. With all the new ruins being found by underwater and space archeology, its apparent that some pretty advanced civilizations (like Greek to Roman tech level) were around before being wiped out.

There's a place called Magomadas, and in Hebrew (possibly also in Phoenician) Makom Hadas means "a new dwelling/place", he also explained the Nuragi and Domu de Janas (houses of the fairies) are among the most ancient megalithic structures in the world, and were possibly an inspiration for others...

Were they related to the Basque?

They also believed in an eternal soul, and believed G-d would come to earth in human form.

I can give you literally dozens of examples to show that they went into Europe. It isn't even controversial to say that people we call Europeans were also in the mid/near east as well though. Not so much at all these days, but look at the 2500 year old Pazyryk rugs in Kazakhstan for example. Pale red heads and blondes on armored horses and jousts like later west Euros. The most famous Israe lite historian, Josephus also said that the majority of them went past the Euphrates into Iran and Turkey (where the Galatian Celts and Scythians etc were) and Europe. High priest Onias of Jud ah had contact with Spartan king Areus whom both acknowledged each other as separated family, and Paul's letters to the lost tribes went to Jerusalem, but also to known European groups, and nobody else.
      Modern Europeans did not just appear in Europe and were not limited to it, it's a mix of people from the mid/near east as well as related others who were already in, or stayed in Europe as well. It's likely why people like Slavs have a larger share of the A r y a n haplogroup of r1a and west Euros have it's singling haplogroup of r1b, which sort of goes with the multiple connections between ancient A r y a n s as well as Israe lites.

    The old Europeans are still there. They merely mixed with the indo-europeans, especially in southern Europe. In other areas we know the IE's pretty much replaced them. The area in modern Europe with the most pre-IE heritage is Sardinia (over 80% of their genes are EEF).
    Also, I'm not sure why Rome, Greece and Carthage are even mentioned. They developed long after the IE's had spread through Europe. Besides, the Greeks and Romans WERE Indo-europeans (only part IE genetically, but almost wholly IE in culture, language and religion). Remember, the IE invasions happened in the copper and bronze ages, so if you want to talk about "old" Europe, you really are looking at about 4,000 BC and prior. Indeed, the IEs are responsible for ushering in the bronze age (as well as horse and chariot).

      The Aegean Bronze Age preceded the arrival of the Indo-Europeans. The Helladic Culture (Mainland Greece), Cycladic Culture (Cycladic Island Chain), Minoans (Crete), and Nuragic Culture (Sardinia) were Bronze Age civilizations. The Indo-Europeans themselves gained access to bronze and the wheel via the Kura-Araxes culture (Western Anatolia/Armenia/Northern Iran).
      In reality, the Indo-Europeans in comparison to the before mentioned civilizations. Would be similar to comparing Ancient Rome to the Huns. Old Europe had established cities, while the Indo-Europeans were waring nomads. As evidenced by their hill fort settlements such as Arkaim and Sintashta.

      @Tejas Misra That's true today but it wasn't in the past. Ancient DNA tells us that the IE's (at least initially) were an ethnic group. To be specific they were EHG/ANE while Old Europe was mostly of EEF (with some WHG) heritage. Once the IE's entered Europe, they mixed with the EEF's to some degree. According to aDNA, the Corded Ware Culture (IE) were roughly 75% IE and 25% EEF. It was the Corded Ware people who back migrated out of Europe onto the Steppes and eventually down into West/Central Asia forming the Sintashta/Andronovo horizon as well as the later Indo-Iranian/Indo-Aryan branch. They landed as far south as India and as far east as western China.

    Gee, I LOVE this channel. I also love the combining of anthropology, alternative (honest) history-archeology & mythology, & everything conected to these. I have a really good logistical mind, like Masaman (except that he's smart & knowledgeable). I'm only a babe in these fields, but, heck, we've got guys like Mr. M to get us going?
    I want to share some related points, important, methinks.
    1.What Mr. M. is saying does NOT entail that there were no "high" civilisations tens, & hundreds of thousands of years ago (& more), which fell into "oblivion", something which is totally obvious to anyone with even a LITTLE learning about ancient buildings/infrastructure. What "sub-species", & other sub-groupings of humans, these were, is another matter. (The cover-up of this fact, & related matters, has been a conspiracy of enormous proportions, & which has been perpetrated for millennia).
    2.The more that I look into these fields, the more I am convinced that, yes, humans can come in many "shapes & sizes"- giants & pygamies, normal & "freaks", etc. "Vivre la difference!" But there is something which can be defined as (definitely) "human"; Thus, there is no such as a thing as "part-human"; Therefore we didn't evolve from apes; How did we "come"? I don't know; That's another matter.
    3.Humanity has a very special "dignity", different from all other living beings in this ("visible") world. I can't even describe what this means- potential, value, beauty etc. ?? Others, probably have a far better vision of what the term (as applied to humanity) means.
    4.Those who have now taken the "reins" of humanity ("cobee's, late teens") are profoundly & insanely against this "dignity". Therefore a profound psychological/spiritual event for humanity has begun.. Enough said, for now..
    PS Yo! Animals are as valuable as us, I'm sure, but are (I think) cut off from this "dignity". At least during this incarnation!
    I don't know all this, but yet am convinced..

      Basque as language, yes. As a people, AFAIK, you have also Sardinians and a bit less isolated but with several pre-indo-european elements, Central and Northern Iberians (from both Portugal and Spain), particularly those from rural areas (it´s not a problem since for Basques and Sardinians, they also use rural areas for sampling). Actually some Iberians have older DNA segments than those known in any Basque and possibly even Sardinian. I also wouldn´t exclude the hypothesis that there are other isolated rural populations in Europe, with a great pre-indo-european influence, just possibly aren´t that common But actually I think that nearly all european countries, have preserved something unique on their rural areas.

      Stonehenge isn't an isolated monument though there's a whole megalithic civilisation mostly located on the atlantic coast of Europe from Spain to Scotland, with some local differences between the different regions and many monument far bigger and older than Stonehenge (Newgrange in Ireland, the Carnac area or Barnenez in Brittany... and many others) Modern analysis help us to discover more details about this civilisation every year but there's still a lot we don't know about them, they didn't write at all, though they used engravings on their monuments with some symbols that we find from one place to another, sometimes in the same order. Recent discoveries tend to show that in the British isles (we don't know yet in other areas as the bones were not preserved everywhere to be analysed) they might have been victims of the plague, breng to them by newcomers (maybe proto-Indo-Europeans) but their civilisation was already declining before that and Stonehenge was one of the most recent monument built (or rebuilt) apparently.

Sure, Moon has no atmosphere, we wouldn't be able to terraform it like Mars - but people there would be so close to Earth, that it would be possible to play Multiplayer games with someone from Moon. Also, lack of atmosphere would make it perfect place to manufacture things there and simply drop it to Earth - while at the same time, getting of Mars would be much difficult.
      Also, it would be good to try to colonize places like Sahara or Antarctica before we try anything outside of our own planet, though.

    Language, ethnicity and culture (from religion to the style of ceramics) are three different things. If archeologists in 3000 years dig up a Coca-Cola bottle in China they will think Americans settled in China and they speak English. If they find a Buddha shaped toilet brush in Norway they interpret that in Norway people did some religious rituals brought to them by immigrants from Japan.
    The first thing I learned in my first semester of Archeology: Never ever try to construct history by mixing up these three aspects. Objects travel and languages spread without the people leaving their places. People migrate and change language or culture.

    -Finno-Ugrians are not a people, they are a language group and they do not predate Indo-Europeans in Europe. Genetically the non IE language speakers of Finland, Estonia and Hungary have more Indo-European DNA than Indo-European speaking Spaniards or Sardinians. Language and race are different.
    - saami are not an untouched or pure people, they have a little bit more european hunter gatherer dna than other Nordic people, but they also have IE and east Asian DNA - the claim they are indigenous is debunked by recent studies.
    - Genetically, southern Europeans have more in common with the Pre IE people such as etruscans, than with the IE invaders. The further South you go, the less IE people are.
    - the haplogroup map is inaccurate. not just r1a but also r1b was carried by IE people as was I2

      I believe that white people originate from HYPERBOREA
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arctic_Home_in_the_Vedas
      (Look at chronology of post glacials)
      It was located in the north of russia/Siberia/ from where the first white people migrated to the fertile rich black earth lands of ukraine/southern russia. This period is called THE KURGAN CULTURE, which at first was a melting pot for different white races .
      From here whites migrate to rest of Europe, those that remained created the states of Scythia and Sarmatia while the other whites migrated through the steppes into central asia ( it originally had white population) than Iran, northan Afghan and Pakistan, were the blue eyed decendants of these aryans still live ( kalash tribe) and finally settled in northern India due to its lovely environment, their decendants are the brahmas or the high cast or the aryans that are not only the whitest of indeans, but have a huge amount of white/slavic/Germanic/Scandinavian blood ( haplogroup R1A just like many Iranians and central asians).

They tested modern members of the public, whose roots in the area were certain, and contrary to what they expected to find the DNA from these peoples, separated by a couple of thousand years, was closely matched. They were surprised by this and wanted to conduct a larger countrywide study. Unfortunately there was no follow up.

    When talking about Basque people, you seemed to focus only on Spain, and forget that there is also a french Basque country, where the basque language is still practiced by some thousands of people. Before the romanisation of the country, when cesar conquiered Gaul, most of the south west of France (up to Bordeaux) was speaking vasconic languages and dialects (basque language family). In the rest of the country, the celtic civilisation (indo european) arrived from central Europe only about 500 years before Romans. It is possible that vasconic languages where spread in most of the country before the celtization of the culture and mixing of the people.
    Genetics have proven that what you called ancient Europeans were a mix of the former gather-hunters who arrived 45 000 years ago with the first European farmers from the near east in various proportions. Southern Europeans tend to share more first european farmers DNA.

    Masaman I really appreciate all your videos and this one especially. Thank you for referring to Sardinia and its special features.
    It hasn't yet been explained by scholars why we find in Sardinian so many phenotypes (i.e. inland, light-skinned, black or blond-haired, special-green/gray eyed, the so called "Sardinian green"). Traditionally, the Neolithic inhabitants have been divided into two groups according to their skulls: brachiomorprhic and Danubian dolicomorphic.
    In the video "List of Ethnicities in Europe" th-cam.com/video/1VSnIl8K1nY/w-d-xo.html , we can also find typical Sardinian traits in White East Mediterranid Caucasoid, White Asian Alpinoid Caucasoid and, especially, White Gracile Mediterranid Caucasoid (see for example, the actress Caterina Murino as for the last category).
    At first, we may say that -at least - two distinct phenotypes (extremely simplifying lighter vs darker) is the result of the ages of colonization which mirror the somatic patterns of Sardinians, and we may indicate the high incidence of Phoenician/Punic and Spanish genes on our DNA, which would variously explains red hair/blond hair, Lebanese, Anatolian or even Afro traits or lookalikes. But this is not persuading, what happened before?
    And recently, some geneticists have analysed DNA from ancient tombs variously dating from Meso/Neolithic to the Early Iron Age in Sardinia. Once again, genetics does not perfectly match with history and archaeology. What emerged is remarkable.
    The Mesolithic inhabitants of Sardinia were not the same as Neolithic (we found a bit more than nothing on Paleolithic, just few pieces of bones). The former (Mesolithics) were probably hunter-gatherers more closer to the ancient Iberians. And now we know that the latter (Neolithics) were different peoples come from elsewhere.
    Studies on Bronze/Iron age necropolis show the resilience of the Haplogroup H3, and more recently another ancient haplogroup might link Sardinia with Egypt, not the Pharaoh's but - again - Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, that's more interestingly.<
    Phoenician tombs from Tharros display the high percentage of similarity between modern Sardinian from the neighborhood and Lebanese and Jordan, but we already knew this when comparing these peoples at first glance.
    Thank you again for your videos. It would be interesting to know your point of view on it in your next video =) perhaps in an in-depth analysis of Sardinia? At least four scientific papers from international geneticists have been recently published, with interesting tables that can be reused.

  • @rogerhwerner6997
    @rogerhwerner6997 5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I think when we read the comments below a few things are clearly evident. A brief fact check reveals that there is little consensus regarding DNA groupings at this point because the science of DNA research is still rather new. As a matter of fact, it is incorrect to speak of a language group as an ethnic group: The two are rather different and as one fellow noted, Finnish Urgic is a language grouping, not an ethnic grouping.
    One thing that has always interested me is the nature of pre-Indoeuropean culture, especially religion. Anyone with a serious interest in 'Old Europe' should read the research of Marija Gimbutas. Marija Gimbutas was a Lithuanian-American archaeologist and anthropologist known for her research into the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of "Old Europe." She posited some rather remarkable theories on Old Europe that were criticized as being overly feminist when they were first published some 40 odd years ago. I think they are worth a look. In 1956 Gimbutas introduced her Kurgan hypothesis, which combined the archaeological study of the distinctive Kurgan burial mounds with linguistics to unravel some problems in the study of the Proto-Indo-European speaking peoples, whom she dubbed the 'Kurgans'; namely, to account for their origin and to trace their migrations into Europe. This hypothesis and the act of bridging several disciplines had a significant impact on Indo-European studies and American archaeology.
    During the 1950s and early 1960s, Gimbutas earned a reputation as a world-class specialist on Bronze Age Europe, as well as on Lithuanian folk art and the prehistory of the Balts and Slavs, partly summed up in her definitive opus, 'Bronze Age Cultures of Central and Eastern Europe' (1965). In this work, she reinterpreted European prehistory in light of her backgrounds in linguistics, ethnology, and the history of religions, and challenged many traditional assumptions about the beginnings of European civilization (this is where she proposed a Mother Goddess cult that predated Indo-European Sky Gods, earning the wrath of some of her male colleagues). I've read Gimbutas extensively and I believe she was on to something rather important that remains largely unrecognized. Her thinking certainly impressed me and my thinking.
    As a Professor of European Archaeology and Indo-European Studies at UCLA from 1963 to 1989, Gimbutas directed major excavations of Neolithic sites in southeastern Europe between 1967 and 1980, including Anzabegovo, near Štip, Republic of Macedonia, and Sitagroi and Achilleion in Thessaly (Greece). Digging through deposits representing a time before contemporary estimates for Neolithic habitation in Europe, where other archaeologists never anticipated such finds, she unearthed a great number of artifacts of daily life and of religious cults. Her Mother Goddess Cult is recorded as early as 20,000 years ago and it was represented by figurines that were widespread in Europe. The importance of this suggestion is that Gimbutas firmly believed that a peaceful Goodess Cult occupied all of Europe, that these people were matrilineal and possibly matrilocal in descent and social organization, and, that they were conquered and suppressed by the people she called the Kurgans. This is, of course, a very brief and incomplete explanation of her ideas.
    Quite a lot is known about pre-Indo-European cultures of Europe because of Gimbutas' extensive archaeological excavations of Neolithic and Bronz age deposits in Europe. However, that offers the potential to revolutionize our understanding of Neolithic cultures, in particular, are the immensely important archaeological sites of Gobekli-Tepe and Catalhoyuk in southern Anatolia. These are fully developed towns dating to before 8,000 years before present with the former believed to date to over 10,000 years before present. Until the discovery of these deposits, no one believed developed towns existed at such an early period. Indeed, there are numerous European Neolithic settlements dating to this same period but they lack the sophistication of the Anatolian sites.

    I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this before, but it appears that ötzi (born in 3345 BCE in northern Italy) is genetically very close to Corsicans and Sardinians. So as you suggested in the video, Old Europeans could have looked a bit like Present-Day Sardinians!

    In fact, us Finno-Ugrians have probably not been around much longer than the Indo-Europeans. Earlier it was suggested that people of the Comb Ceramic culture (approx. 4200-2000 BCE) spoke a Finno-Ugrian language, but there is also a competing theory that Comb Ceramic culture actually spoke a Paleo-European language, and Finno-Ugrian speakers arrived much later, no more than 3000 years ago.
    I'm Finnish and not familiar with the situation in other areas, so I'll only speak about Finland from now on. All throughout Finland there is a plethora of place names that can't be reliably traced back to any Finno-Ugrian origin, including the second biggest lake in the country, Päijänne. The Finnish language also contains a number of words that don't seem to be related to corresponding words in any other Finno-Ugric languages outside the Baltic-Finnish languages (Estonian, Karelian, Livonian, Veps, Votic) and a reliable source for a loan word outside of them can not be proposed either. These words include such basic concepts as the color black (musta), rabbit (jänis), swamp (suo) and island (saari) that they must be ancient, and the most plausible hypothesis is that they are a remnant of a language or languages spoken in the area before the arrival of the Finno-Ugric speakers.
    I understand that in the Sami languages the number of such words is much higher, in the hundreds. Also their genetics shows a clear distinction from their Finno-Ugric linguistic cousins, especially when it comes to matrilinear DNA. This would indeed suggest that the Sami are genetically the descendants of these Paleo-European populations, or at least the women of those populations, to a much greater extent than anyone else still around in Northern Europe. If you draw the glaringly obvious conclusion that the technologically superior Finno-Ugrics took wives from the Paleo-European population either by force or through mutual consent and either killed or simply outbred their men, it would also make sense that things like place names and individual words would have survived, even though the languages disappeared otherwise over some generations. The same process of surviving place names and loan words to the conqueror's language from indigenous population as long as the population isn't completely wiped out is well recorded in Americas to this day.

    I mean, Basque is the most impressive, because it's still around.
    Also first I thought that it's a bit strange, that only the Mideterranian penninsulas are centerpoints of those languages, but then I remembered where did people originated as a species.

      also the Mediterranian Peninsulas are naturaly defended from the rest of the world by water in the south or around them and big mountains to the North. Northern Europe mainly is just one BIG PLain. So it is very sensitive to influence from the Great Central Asian Steppes. Also the people of northern Europe built in Wood and earth for the most time whilst the south started building in stone early on. This means their societies just left more traces.
