How did farmers overcome hunter gatherers? According to Anthropologists it should have been a clean sweep for the hunters.
>>18612924This image must be old or something. Not even the haplogroups make sense.
>>18612924larger populations and state societies in the long run
Large populations + higher intelligence.
>>18612990The "small brains = low IQ" thing is a meme. Brain size probably decreased due to brains also becoming more efficient, not to mention that brain size is weakly correlated with IQ.
>>18612991He didn't say their brains were smaller, retard. Sedentary societies were smarter because their food surplus enabled them to focus on non-survival matters like philosophy, war strategy, religion, etc etc. They also had complex hierarchies and social systems that hunter-gatherers did not have. Food surplus also gave them a bigger population to outnumber the hunter-gatherers.
>>18612924They didn't, hunter gatherers came back and took over farming societies establishing themselves as the elite.
>>18613057I was replying to myself who had replied to OP, wherein hunter-gatherers suposedly having bigger brains was mentioned. I was elaborating on my claim that farmers were actually smarter regardless of what differences in size existed.
>>18613070Ah, I'm sorry then I assumed you were yet another retard on this board.
>>18612924Numbers, my boy. Well, numbers, plus greater ability to save up for hard times, plus greater ability to improve and scale technologically.
>>18612924They mostly overcame with their pussies

In South Europe and the balkans the farmers genuinely wiped out the HGs there, little to no remains of these. Farmers just lost steam before reaching NW europe allowing the HG resurgence there to happen. The decadent farmer thesis is mostly bs.
Exposure to disease from animal husbandry.Not surprised nobody here mentioned this already.>>18612990Nah, they were kind of retarded actually because of their shitty diet nutrient deficiency.Most of them were basically slaves.These people were generally scrawny and had weak bones.Anyways that was probably a big reason why severely outnumbered HG haplogroups eventually won out over the EEF Y DNA types, despite their early demographic setbacks.Anyways, they would effectively become the new farmer ruling class.And these new elites specifically were the people to intensify megalith construction along the Atlantic. These phenomenon occur effectively at the same time around 4500 BC and it's not a coincidence.The more you know.See New Grange archaeogenetic discoveries from a few years back for more details.
>Early Neolithic (c. 6000–4500 BCE)Predominantly Anatolian-derived EEF ancestry. Minimal local forager interaction.Longhouses, timber enclosures, and simple flat-bed earth burials.>Middle Neolithic (c. 4500–3000 BCE)Significant WHG resurgence; major local admixture and dominance of hunter-gatherer Y-haplogroups.Explosion of early Megalithism; closed stone cists, passage graves, cairns, and early stone circles.>Late Neolithic (c. 3000–2500 BCE)Deeply stable, localized farmer-forager admixed communities.Massive monumental scaling; sophisticated complexes like Stonehenge Phase I and Newgrange.>Chalcolithic Transition (c. 2500–2000 BCE)Widespread demographic turnover via incoming Steppe (Yamnaya-related) ancestry.Decline in collective megalithic tomb building; shift to individual barrows and reuse of older sites.
Haha dead thread now that you know the real answer.Clockwork.
G2a might be the most cucked hg of the whole neolithic
>>18612924Without agriculture it's imposible to form a civilazationHope that helps!
>>18613188They didn't have the true KARA BOGA haplogroup (E1)
