Kölner Express Headline “We are all little bit from Turkey”

from Mavi Boncuk by M.A.M

“The appearance and dispersion of the first farmers in Europe has been the subject of heated debate among anthropologists, archaeologists, and linguists for over a century. While each discipline focused on different aspects of this grand topic, the central point of contention is what may be regarded as the demographic nature of the process. There is lack of consensus regarding two main aspects:
(1) the extent to which the transition to farming was an indigenous process, involved some admixture between incoming farmers and local hunters, or a population replacement process; and
(2) the historical pattern in terms of the timing and tempo of the dispersion events.” from Ron Pinhasi, A new model for the spread of the first farmers in Europe.

The Anatolian Hypothesis

from Mavi Boncuk by M.A.M

Mavi Boncuk | The Anatolian hypothesis is also called Renfrew’s Neolithic Discontinuity Theory; it proposes that the dispersal (discontinuity) of Proto-Indo-Europeans originated in Neolithic Anatolia. The hypothesis suggests that the speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) lived in Anatolia during the Neolithic era, and associates the distribution of historical Indo-European languages with the expansion during the Neolithic revolution during the seventh and sixth millennia BC.

BERİL DEDEOĞLU – European Far-right factions & their alliances

When some take a glance at a map of Europe, Turkey may seem very intimidating, given that this country?s dimensions are quite big. Some people like to designate threats just by looking at maps, and it?s not a new thing, either, to label people as ?bad,? ?not wanted? or as ?the other.? Of course, when people say that others are bad, what they really want to say is that they themselves are the good ones.
