ABSTRACT: In the chart above & left are five pastoral motifs [A to F] variously shared between Africa, the Asia Minor, and Europe. Before considering them, should we ask, “Do these regions have other cultural artefacts in common that would seemingly indicate a demic movement from Africa occured to Asia Minor and Europe? Please evaluate the following: 1) AFRICAN RACE IN ASIA MINOR: In early Anatolia of 7000 BC were found the physical types of “two dolicocephalic races,” African. See: James Mellaart, Earliest civilizations of the Near East, (Thames and Hudson, London, 1965), p. 8. They were indigenous and likely the first IE speakers. 2) AFRICAN TYPES IN UPPER PALEOLITHIC NORTH EUROPE: Valery Pavlovich Alexeev, lecturing at Harvard University identified 25,000 year-old physical remains in Russia saying: “The nose is very broad, similar to African or Australian.” See: Geraldine Reinhart-Waller, The Alekseev 1990 Harvard Manuscript: Peoples and Cultures of the Soviet Union and Archaeology of the USSR). (3) FROM GENETICS AN UPPER PALEOLITHIC DEMIC MOVEMENT FROM SUDAN TO ASIA MINOR: Cavalli-Sforza says that “The M35/M215 sub-clade” from Africa “expanded into the southern and eastern Mediterranean”and “the Middle East into southern Europe … during the Neolithic expansion…” See: P. A. Underhill, C. Passarino, A. Lin, P. Shen, M. Mirazon, Lahr, R. A. Foley, P. J. Oefner, L. L. Cavalli-Sforza, The Phylogeography of Y chromosome binary haplotypes and the origin of modern populations, Ann Hum Genet 65, pp. 43 – 62, 2001. (4) AFRICAN DUG-OUT CANOE IN NORDIC LANDS, 6000 BC: (5) AFRICAN RED-AND-BLACK POTTERY IN NETHERLANDS: (6 - 11) CHART DISCUSSION (A to F): The chart of shared cultural artefacts is by far not complete. Yet, it shows that in every feature, (omit B:III), the archeological artefacts found earliest in Africa come to blanket its neighboring lands in easy walking distance: i.e. Asia Minor (II: A to F) and Europe (III: A, C, D, E, F). Shared in common are: [A] cattle head religious remains; [B] cattle alars; [C] cattle-jumping; [D] cattle-horn crowns; [E] full portrayal of cow; [F] the cow-head on a plastic medium; [1 and 2] early African presence in Europe; [3] genetic evidence, [4] dug- out canoes, [5] red-and-black pottery. These 11 features show demic (i.e. physical movement) of African people and culture to Asia Minor (incuding, e.g. Iraq, Iran) and Europe.
