People of the ancient North
05/27/22(Fri)11:42:16 No.57854

This is a thread to discuss the people of the ancient north, namely the ancient north eurasians (ANEs aka Siberian Mammoth hunters), Western Hunter Gatherers (WHGs), Eastern Hunter Gatherers (EHGs), Siberian mongoloids, Paleo-Americans, Turks, Huns and Indo-Europeans - their heritage, their culture, their gods, their speech, their dreams, their bones.

Here is a good blog to start the thread, regarding the Late Stone Age archaeological site of ancient Kumsay in Kazakhstan, a graveyard of hulking giants in an age where the average height was far shorter, with locals culturally similar to the emergent Proto-Indo-Europeans, but genetically charged with very high ANE blood and are completely unlike any modern human race today

>What is interesting about the people here was that many of them were really big, sturdy people. Aside from the general robust features and all, several of the people here were well over 190 cm, reaching up to and above 2 meters tall! Given the sizes of the mounds these giants were buried in, archaeologists concluded that it is likely that these people were part of the upper strata of their society, perhaps as chieftains. But then you can ask a very interesting question: "Where they large because they were the highest tier of their society, or where they in the highest tier due to their large phyical stature?".

>That's a giant, scary, mean looking dude. The average yamnaya male, who themselves were very badass and physically intimidating people would look puny next to this guy. Although Yamnaya giants existed as well, so maybe there were King Kong v Godzilla type scenarios going on in the Caspian steppe?

>I'm going to mention it again, this man standing at 2 meters tall was not a single case. There were several individuals his size at the burial site. Keep in mind that the samples we have were pretty much all relatives of one another, so you are likely looking at a burial site of a single tribe.

>To round it up, these people were classified as part of the Yamnaya horizon but they are clearly not derived from the relatively homogenous Yamnaya population spread throughout the European steppes, or their relatives which migrated to the Altai and Dzungaria. But they were still closely related to them in ways. They are far closer related to the earlier Steppe Maykop peoples seen in the North Caucasian steppes, as well as several other populations found in Central Asia. Additionally, a profile somewhat similar to this seems to be the main source of the WSHG-related ancestry Narasimhan and his team found in the Eneolithic and bronze age samples of Southern Central Asia

I should have added Finno-Ugrians / Uralic peoples and the other paleosiberians. They of course are included as well
