The Corded Ware Culture | Prehistoric Europe Documentary (3000 BC - 2300 BC)

The Corded Ware culture existed between c. 3000 BC - c. 2300 BC, spanning the late Neolithic, through the Copper Age, and the early Bronze Age.
The name Corded Ware comes from the cord-like impressions on their pottery.
They encompassed a vast area, from the Rhine on the west to the Volga in the east, occupying parts of Northern Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe.
They were descended from Western Steppe Herders populations (like the Yamnaya) who moved into Neolithic Europe and merged with the farming populations from the Globular Amphora culture and the Funnelbeaker culture.
These people were, to one extent or another, ancestral to all northern European people from the Baltic to the Atlantic.

    Question(s): 🔹 When you prepare your Information, do you use the Current History resources, ie: Textbooks? or 🔹Do you go to the data gathered through DNA? 🔹Genetic studies of DNA, a variety of studies, Peer Reviews Science, Journal Published Findings: many offer clear new facts, some evidence that does not support the "Mainstream Academic Paradigm". 🔹The works of David Reich, PhD, Geneticist, Harvard, "Ancient DNA Mapping of Migrations Worldwide" (Note) While working on his Mapping Project, Dr Reich discovered "Not All are Out of Africa". This surprised him, he wasn't looking for nor expecting such a find, so he went back and ran the data again, no mistakes, same results, 1 more time, for a total of 3, same results. (As I recall from my college days, this is how a facts is Validated, the 3 time repeated match of outcome.) I am of the "Authentic Academic" perspective, meaning adhering to the "Standards of Science and Research", ("Mind fully Open free of any predetermined Beliefs, Theories, Opinions, allowing the Research Methodologies to extract the greater facts.") I also use Discernment rather than applying a Judgemental opinion. Each are worthy and allowed their own choice in what they hold as facts, truths. I'm merely curious, as I'm looking for resources, and I desire to understand their resources reference protocol. This is the focus of my Question. (Because I see 2 foundational origins of the White Europeans, Indo-European as a label aggravates me, Aryan having lost favor due to Hitler, yet the 2 major White Groups seem to trace to Germanics and the Basque, I happen to largely belong to the latter, Mom's choice resulting in some Germanic in the mix. My lineage from County Kerry, largely Basque and Rh(-), per DNA studies, and mine further validated their findings. ___________________ The current males in Britain have less than 2% of the earlier, original English DNA (same as Welzh and *rish), the Female is normal for the number of generations and Admixture. Who and When, (ethnic cleansed)? Cant find the answer. Romans or Anglos? It cant be natural. Who rem9ved the records from History? Brits are anal recordkeepers. Also can't be an oversight. Your Thoughts, please. Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian Tennessee, USA

Today, we will talk about how The Mountain Dew culture was spawned from the all encompassing Coca Cola culture. Interestingly, while all of this was going on, in a small section of the British Isles, more or less, in Scotland, the Irn Bru culture was still going strong.

    My father's family emigrated from Cornwall about 1850 to North America. In Historic DNA studies I am normally grouped with "English" men who are identified with the L21 Haplogroup. But my defining Haplogroup is DF27, well represented in NE Spain, NW France and southern England and scattered elsewhere in Europe. My latest DNA tests shows me at BY27679 (Family Tree DNA). My ancestors appear to have migrated to southern England about 2500 years ago. A small subgroup of R1b, but to me an important group. I enjoyed your narrative.

Being Danish i started studying the history and differences in the cultures of Denmark and N.China... 2-3 years ago...and learnt so much about how they survived, progressed... very depending on their geologi and climate the last 20.000 years... .many similarities also with how people have solved their problems... even today... all depending on the geological and geografi environment... ie wind ... humidity from ocean... latitude....... Always been fascinated by the migrations from the Baikal and Altai mountains... East and North (as I worked in that part of the world for 12 years) thats how I came to the steppe herders......

    I really have trouble believing that no-one developed writing until the Sumerians. Just that baked clay survived and organic materials didn't. After all, you have sophisticated cave paintings from the Palaeolithic period, and generally pictographs preceded ideographs, as in Egypt and China. Once you have trade networks, there is a need to keep some kind of record of transactions. The "illiterate" North American people recorded contracts by exchanging wampum belts. Numbers could be tallied by notches on a stick. Barter could be done by sign language. More complicated ideas could be communicated by scratching pictures in the sand. They were just as smart as we are, and things that I can come up with off the top of my head they could no doubt think of themselves and probably greatly improve upon.

Did the megalithic cultures or ethnic groups of central and northern Europe die out in similar fashion to their counterparts in Britain upon the arrival of the Corded Ware people? 2. If Northern Poles have similar genes to the Germans, could it be because of assimilation of Germanic people by the slavs who arrived there in the Iron Age? Thank you. Btw, you Europeans have a great ancestry and I suspect that your ancestors originally left northern India before arriving at the stepppe. My thoughts only. Excellent videos. Cheers.

    There were a lot of things going on between the Germanic and the Slavic people. The modern day Eastern Germany has a lot of Slavic toponymics and the major cities like Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Brandenburg, Rostok etc. are of Slavic origin. Also, the original name for Slavic people is Slovene which literally means "those who know words/can speak", while the Slavic word for the Germanic people is Nemci, which means "muted" or "those who can't speak". That says a lot on their relations. :)

    It's interesting that you say the megalithic people were wiped out by the incoming Bell Beaker culture. That's largely true. After that collision the population was about 90% Bell Beaker and 10% megalithic/near eastern farmer ancestry. This happens to be about the same proportion of Yayoi ancestry to Jomon ancestry in the modern Japanese people. Yet the way it is reported in Japan is that the Japanese are a hybrid between the Yayoi and Jomon people. So that 10% Jomon ancestry clearly matters there. We should also remember that while only 10% ancestry remained from the megalithic/farmers living in the British Isles the incoming people also had significant ancestry from similar megalithic/farming people from the mainland.

    Funnel Beaker peoples were Neolithic farmers with some Western Hunter Gatherer mixture, whereas Corded Wear peoples were primarily descended from the Yamnaya people (Proto Indo-Europeans). But there seemed to have been a high incidence of blondness among the Funnel Beakers. He made a video about the Funnel Beakers.

    Higher status males not only get more women, their children are more likely to survive. There's also some effect whereby conquered people produce more female offspring which might be a natural protection to lower violence by reducing the pool of males in the conquered population making them less threatening and therefore less likely to be further attacked by the conquering population while at the same time making more women available for the conquerors to produce offspring with quickly increasing the number of people with blood ties to the conquerors.

If people were enslaved or much reduced they would still have children but nothing. I wonder if the woman were kept in groups and used to produce children the males of whom would be taken when they reached age to the warrior groups. The warrior bands appear to have been prevalent in celtic society for a long time.I don't suppose it was coincedence that the temple site on the ness of Brodgar ends with a massive gathering a feast of the islands cattle on a huge scale and then the buildings are pulled down and burried.Perhaps they knew what was coming right at the end of the stone age.I'm interested if the corded ware had strict cultural ways that bonded the tribe with their own priests/shaman, I believe the burials were facing east, perhaps from the direction they came.

The Y-haplogroup is a tiny, tiny amount of our DNA and although it's fascinating to see how our ancestors moved around through history, it doesn't have to have much meaning for us as individuals if we don't want it to.

I bet this contributed to the spread. On another note, that old ceremony may be a dna memory (if you believe in that) that has triggered the popularity of survival shows and the trend, at least in America, for men wanting to leave society and live off grid in the wilderness.
