As alluded to elsewhere in the blog, mythic accounts of physically distinct beings bringing magical knowledge(metallurgical technology)abound in varying traditions across Eurasia. The biblical association may belong to the same category.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387130442339819378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-18126981217018218222012-07-24T16:01:36.014+03:002012-07-24T16:01:36.014+03:00I know it’s a stretch but brachycephalic, [Y-Haplo...I know it’s a stretch but brachycephalic, [Y-Haplogroup G-?] Anatolia, Armenian Highland, Caucasus, metallurgy ... sounds like my “ancestor” Tubal Cain [Tabal; Tibarenoi-?

If we consider Anatolia as the likely migratory route for these newcomers, then was this simply the autochthonous brachycephalic highlanders descending westward into the lowlands, or had they been ‘brachycephalized’ elsewhere themselves? Accordingly, could this brachycephalic element be viewed as a specialized subset developing out of the preceding dolichocephalic population of the Anatolian Neolithic, or did they undergo brachycephalization outside of their future center of concentration much longer before? In other words, to what extent does the prevalence of brachycephalism and cranial morphing in general indicate population movement rather than gradual transformation, specifically in regards to Anatolia and the Armenian Highland, and with respect to the Caucasus as a possible point of origin?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387130442339819378noreply@blogger.com
