You would have to really open your mind to read very much of this, but it was written by supposedly the man with the highest IQ ever  His insights into prehistory, and why things are the way they are. It's pretty interesting. For whatever it's worth www.sidis.net/TSContents.htmA GENIUS AMONG US: THE SAD STORY OF WILLIAM J. SIDIS www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/12/genius-among-us-sad-story-william-j-sidis/In the bolded parts of this I note the recent premise of "Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond and the general current archaeology assessment of the development of R1b peoples in the Pontic Steppe and the multiple migration waves into Western Europe. He wrote this in 1939. An immense inland sea was formed during the Ice Age between Europe and Asia, leaving on its eastern side a large region enclosed by sea, mountains, and ice, and isolated from the rest of the earth for many thousands of years. Here were isolated a few human beings and a number of animals. An albino type became the standard human race in this region; this type is found as an occasional freak in all races, but, under this peculiar isolation, it became a white race. And, this freak race being isolated together with certain varieties of animals resulted in their taming the animals, and incidentally infected the people with those animals' diseases and parasites. In the course of generations, the white race gradually acquired a certain amount of immunity to those diseases, which, however, they always carried with them and which proved to be their greatest weapon in their fight against other races. When the great ice sheet retreated on the north and on the mountains, and the inland sea was drained, this original white men's country became a desert, forcing both human beings and animals elsewhere, first south over the mountain passes (into India and Persia), then in a succession of waves westward into Europe, bringing a heavy crop of highly destructive diseases.
It is quite possible that the first few waves of white invasion of Europe were absorbed by intermarriage, and the white men adopted the red civilization; but, since the red race had not the same immunity as the whites to the numerous germs the latter brought in with them, the newer waves of invasion gradually wiped the red men off the eastern hemisphere, though slowly enough to enable the whites to take over the civilization.
In the west of Europe, which was the last stand of the red people of the eastern hemisphere, traces of Cro-Magnon characteristics are still to be found among some of the inhabitants, even those of the purest white complexion. Also, the folk tales referring to "giants" are probably remnants of traditions of fight with a taller and heavier-built race; the name "giant" itself having no special meaning from the point of view of Aryan origin, while if, as seems probable, Basque is a remnant of pre-Aryan speech in Europe, that word might be derived from the Basque "gizon," meaning "man." But the whites still retain in Europe many place-names, and even a few survivals of the language structure and words, as traces of the red men conquered many thousands of years ago. |

BLU FOUND THIS and I am Re-posting it here so I can find it and dissect it at a leisurely pace.

Found this while searching for historical records of the English Civil War in NW England. It is not exactly ancient peoples ... nor is it specifically about climate change, although the period falls in the Maunder ... and the period with its social disruption could be one poster child for GDS.

I thought that it was interesting how Sidis attributes so much of "white" government and societal customs to the "red race" which he claims were adopted by the whites and makes a pretty good case for some of it. Military confederacies, structured norms of warfare, among other things.

Good one Acid! History also records these times as periods of great migrations. The Germanic invasions in and around the 500 AD time frame coincide with the collapse of W Europe civilizations at the time. |

"Fossil DNA Reveals New Twists in Modern Human Origins
Modern humans and more ancient hominins interbred many times throughout Eurasia and Africa, and the genetic flow went both ways.
But it’s one thing to say that Neanderthals interbred with the ancestors of modern Europeans, or that the recently discovered Denisovans interbred with some older mystery group, or that they all interbred with each other. It’s another to provide concrete details about when and where those couplings occurred. “We’ve got this picture where these events are happening all over the place,” said Aylwyn Scally, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Cambridge. “But it’s very hard for us to pin down any particular single event and say, yeah, we’re really confident that that one happened — unless we have ancient DNA.”
The events that do get pinned down therefore tend to be relatively recent, starting with the migration of modern humans out of Africa 60,000 years ago, during which they interacted with hominin relatives (like the Neanderthals and Denisovans) they met along the way. Evidence of interbreeding during any migrations before then, or during events that transpired earlier within Africa, has been elusive.
Now that’s starting to change. "www.quantamagazine.org/fossil-dna-reveals-new-twists-in-modern-human-origins-20190829/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

I don’t think any of those “liaisons” will be popular on YouTube. .....Opps....wrong forum 🤓 |

Is GDS really a far fetched idea? The Role of Geomagnetic Field Intensity in Late Quaternary Evolution of Humans and Large Mammals
The demise of Neanderthals at ~41 ka can now be closely tied to the intensity minimum associated with the Laschamp magnetic excursion, and the survival of anatomically modern humans can be attributed to differences in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor that has a key role in the evolutionary response to UVR flux. Fossil occurrences and dung‐fungal proxies in Australia indicate that episodes of Late Quaternary extinction of mammalian megafauna occurred close to the Laschamp and Blake magnetic excursions. Fossil and dung fungal evidence for the age of the Late Quaternary extinction in North America (and Europe) coincide with a prominent decline in geomagnetic field intensity at ~13 ka. Over the last ~200 kyr, phylogeny based on mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosomes in modern humans yields nodes and bifurcations in evolution corresponding to geomagnetic intensity minima, which supports the proposition that UVR reaching Earth's surface influenced mammalian evolution with the loci of extinction controlled by the geometry of stratospheric ozone depletion.agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2018RG000629magneticreversal.org/ |

I just read the paper  . It also challenges the meme that early humans were responsible for hunting large fauna to extinction. If a cure for cancer is identified we may break the link to geomagnetic minima for humans. |
