Abstract

Recently, the American geneticist David Reich, according to the results of studies, got by his group, published a hypothesis that 4.5 thousand years ago, the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by the tribes of nomadic pastoralists who came from the steppes of Eastern Europe, by so-called “people of the Yamnaya culture” (the Yamnaya people). Having a higher technological level (had four-wheeled carts, domesticated horses, etc.), those people quickly conquered the Iberian tribes, completely eliminating or enslaving the entire male autochthonous population. Such a rapid and, apparently, far from peaceful expansion led to the fact that the next generation of residents of the Iberian Peninsula had already 100% Y chromosomes (which are transmitted exclusively through the paternal line) of immigrants. The Yamnaya people brought their culture to the Peninsula, and probably the IndoEuropean language, the carriers and distributors of which they were, migrating across the expanses of Europe.

Подобная «стандартная» модель полностью вписывается в доминирующую ныне теорию эволюции и расселения по Земле человека разумного
Которые дополняют и развивают классические направления исторических исследований, убедительно показывают, что подавляющее большинство современных народов, проживающих в тех местах, где периодически происходили переселения больших масс людей (то есть, выражаясь современным языком, миграции), представляют собой сложное смешение различного «генетического материала»

Introduction

The American geneticist David Reich, according to the results of studies, got by his group, published a hypothesis that 4.5 thousand years ago, the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by the tribes of nomadic pastoralists who came from the steppes of Eastern Europe, by so-called “people of the Yamnaya culture” (the Yamnaya people). Что несколько десятков тысяч лет назад на полуострове жили неандертальцы, стоянки которых найдены в разных местах на территориях современных Испании и Португалии.
