Hello W Sheppard Baird,
Your research and erudition are superb, concise and very informative What particularly also impressed me is your new information of cities before Jericho!!! , in your extensive introduction to the first publication-Early Minoan Colo. of Spain.
I wish you would write in similar way of the Beaker peoples and other prehistoric peoples of Eurasia, I have read some material on this but it has left me more confused.
What I understand is that those huge migration of various tribal and ethnic groups over Eurasia took place in various millenia since 15000 B.C. through the Neolithic and then Bronze ages and finally the Indo-European migrations, then the Celtic, Hunnic, Germanic, whatever, groups that then shaped today's profile of peoples accross this vast region.
Why I asked you about the genetic make-up of these Aegean peoples is because, elsewhere, the DNA profiles dont explain the "change" of and evolution of peoples, even as "recently" as 3000 B.C. For example, the Pharonic depiction of faces etc seem to indicate they had strong Nubian features-look at the profiles of Nefretiti, a classic example of Nubian features. By contrast, the present population is largely Arab-African.
Similarly, In ancient (not so ancient!!!!) Pre-Islamic Persia, on which I read extensively, the DNA components do not explain how the present population has links with the Indo- European Aryans, with the huge influx of Arab, then Turkic, Mongloid,Hunnic, again Turkic migrations (some of them very sudden!!!) there.
