The
Caucasoids and Elamitoids:
The Family-Tree of Agrarian tribes
The language identity of
Indo-European peasants can be detected according to the simple i-a-u vocalism, rich vocalic quantity and a
series of two-mora or three-mora
falling diphthongs ai → ē,
au → ō, which was suitable for hymns in quantitative
prosody. It operated in Old Gothic and Ancient Greek but also in Old Indian
and Classic Arabic as it was the common heritage of the Neolithic Europoid and Caucasoid peasantry. Later assaults of
Asiatic herdsmen subjected peasantry to serfdom and suppressed their
quantitative hymnology by the predominance of rhymed or alliterative syllabo-tonic epic.
Table 28. The family-tree of axe-tool
cultures
Close kinship between European, Anatolian, Mesopotamian and Caucasian
agriculturalists is proved also by their genetic family-trees that stem from
the archaic Y DNA haplogroup IJ. Its haplotype is ancestor to the three ethnic and cultural
complexes: the Caucasoid populations with the type J-P209, the Danubian farmers with the Linear Ware pottery (Linearbandkeramic) and the genetic Y DNA haplotype I2-M438 and the Scandinavian Corded Ware with
the haplogroup I1-M253. Their complexes can be
recognised also according to the morphology of housing types. Their earliest
archetype indicates a large rectangular collective longhouse that is
compatible with the Amazonian peasants’ maloca
and dwellings of Melanesian agriculturalists (Y DNA haplogroup
M-P256). Comparison to Melanesian peoples is of great import as the IJ and
IJK-L15 haplogroups are genetically interrelated
with the Melanesian haplotype M-L15. In the
Neolithic the rectangular longhouses fell into three special subtypes. The
Anatolian and Mesopotamian Caucasoids inhabited
multi-cellular labyrinths in tell-mound sites and rectangular
flat-roofed houses made from rammed clay pisé.
The Danubian Linear Ware people lived in
rectangular longhouses with monopitched roofs in
fertile riverside valleys, while the Scandinavian Nordics adhered to archaic
three-aisled terps with A-frame roofs on
seaside dunes.
Table 28 sums up
contemporary doctrines of genetic Y DNA haplogroup
relations of human axe-tool cultures. It includes also corresponding palaeo-anthropological varieties of man but it ballots
for earlier dating. It attempts to incorporate its clades
into the more reliable framework of radiocarbon periodisation
acknowledged as valid in modern archaeology. It takes over Wolpoff and Caspari’s model of ‘multiregional
evolution’ proposed as a readaptation of Franz Weidenreich’s
Polycentric Theory (Table 29). It argues that it is untimely to bury
descendants of Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis as extinct races because their pebble-stone
cobbled choppers and leaf-shaped lance-heads enjoyed abundant continuance
till the Neolithic horizon.

Cattabeni in the Arabian
Peninsula. In the Levant their rural
agrarian villages abounded in the regions of the Hethite agrarian idololatrists such as Idumeans, Edomites, Judaeans, Judah and Gad-Peraea. Biblical records mention their

Elamitoid Bull-Fighters
and Bull-Leapers in Iberia, Italy, Crete and Anatolia
Andalusian
farmers on the Iberian peninsula were
not kneaded out of the same dough as the Neolithic Dannubian
agriculturalists but descended from oriental rootage.
They did not inherit the Central European traditions of the Linear Band Ware
but profiled as heirs of Anatolian field-cultivators. They showed
consanguinity to the stock of oriental Elamitoid
peoples, who lived along the long belt of arid dryland
regions spanning from Asia Minor to India.
Their cultural morphology reflected arid dry-land cultivation with inevitable
irrigation and other methods of watering. Their common characteristic traits
were flat-roofed multicellular houses on artificial
elevated mounds.
The Spanish invention of agriculture
probably drew inspiration from Africa but
its penetration was not possible without local populations of autochthonous Acheulean plant-gatherers. They welcomed progress in
tilling the land because they relied on vegetal sustenance and possessed
innate preagriculturalist dispositions. The advent
of the Neolithic agriculturalist technocomplex La Almagra
(6,000 BC) may be explained as an import from the Iberomaurusian
culture in North Africa. Its
name suggested almagra ‘red
ochre’ and derived from the production of red pottery. It was painted by
special ochre dye appreciated by tribes of Tungids
as a sacral blessing. Spanish links with oriental agrarian cultures were
manifested in the cult of bovine divinities associated with bull-fighting,
bull leaping and bull running known from Pamplona festivals. The bull
embodied the supreme celestial deity identical to the Greek Zeus residing on
the sacred mountain Olympos.
(from P. Bělíček: The Analytic Survey of European Anthropology,
Prague 2019, pp. 131-132)
Hittite Elamitoids are the race of Neolithic farmers of Acheulean origin that are called Caucasoids,
Elamitoid, Ethiopids or Gothonids. They built mound tell-sites with

and sundried bricks. They were distinguished from

Indic Elamitoids
with b-plurals
India is well-known as
a country of bovine cults, where the Indic zebu cows freely range along
streets as sacred untouchable beings without being disturbed by passers-by.
Their ritual adoration is an indispensable part of bull cults, bull fighting
and bull leaping peculiar to all Elamitoid cultures
with flat-roof architecture. The initiation rites of adolescent youngsters
with ceremonial bull-leaping are not so common as in Ethiopia but their
occurrence was reliably evidenced in the Mohenjo daro civilisation. They are engraved on a seal from Banawali (c. 2100 BC) that depicts an acrobat jumping from
the back of a bull and landing in front. Modern survivals of bull-fighting
are preserved in the jallikattu festival
held as homage to Krishna. It is associated with
bull-taming, bull-grabbing or bull-grappling, when two youths catch and grab
a bull. In the state Tamil Nadu
it is celebrated as a four-day long harvest festival pongal
with motifs of Krishna’s wedding ceremony.
Krishnaism and its bovine
cults were wide-spread among the Elamitoid factions
of Dravidians, who tilled the land as peasants and formed the popular
substratum of rural village communities. Their populations were abundant in Myanmar, southern India and Harappan city-states. Their ethnic customs bore much resemblance to peasantry in
Iranian Susiana, Ubaidans
in Mesopotamia and Hittite farmers in Anatolia. Their spiritual
culture celebrated flourishing heydays India with the rise of
Neolithic pottery and agriculture remarkable for the use of Macrolithic and Gigantolithic handaxes. They enjoyed collective life in tell-site
settlements and multi-roomed labyriths with flat-roofage.
The Neolithic
revival did not dawn at random, it obviously grew out of the earlier
autochthonous populations of axe-tool makers and plant-gatherers. Their
masses probably came with the advent of Acheulean
tribes about 800,000 BP and ranged as far as the Movius
line intersecting Burma. Their hallmark
was seen in sophisticated hand-axe bifaces of Acheulean Mode 2. Acheulean
cultures came into existence in Ethiopia and southern Arabia by permeating
the earlier colonisations of Oldowans with
Levalloisian flake-tool manufacturers. Their people were remarkable for dolichocephalic and mildly hypsicranic
skulls, taller stature, brachyskelic figure, long
straight narrow nose and light brown skin.
There exist also
surprising parallels between Caucasian and European peasant tribes’ ethnonymy, which may be taken for convincing testimony of
common kinship. The Indian subcontinents was visited by two related races of
taller leptorrhine dolichocephals
with preagricultural dispositions, European Gothids with the Y-haplotypes
I1, I2 and Oriental Gothonids with the Y-haplogroups J1, J2. The Indo-European Gothids
were called Geto-Persians (later also Khattri-Brahmans) and imported cordmarked
pottery that imitated baste-bound wooden tubs. The Oriental Gothonids were called Gutio-Farsians
and manufactured pottery with chessmat patterns
derived from baskets with reed-matting. Both branches originated in South Arabia but the former
made for Anatolia, whereas the latter headed
for Mesopotamia. After installing a plantation in Elam and Susiana they continued to the IndusValley
and southern India. The Neolithic
Revolution woke them up as Dravidian land-tillers and hoe-cultivators. The Kodagu, Kota, Kodava and Kadar
settled down in southwest India,
while Gadaba, Gutob, Odisha, and Parji dropped
anchor in southeast India.
Most of them retained ergative languages with absolutive
and oblique cases and preserved their archaic animate b-plurals. Owing to f-plurals, the Brahui
stock may be also counted to Elamitoids. They
originally belonged to the Quettans and resembled Harappan farmers in the Indus Valley
but afterwards they fell victims of Turcoid
raiders, who turned their majority into pastoralist
herders.
Among Caucasian nations there was a
large group of lhbanguages with p/b-plurals.
It included Georgian, Zan, Mingrelian,
Ginukh, Gunzib, Dido, Tsakhur, Godoberi, Akhvakh, Chamalal (Table 28). Bedřich Hrozný scented p/b-plurals
even in their tribal neighbours Kaspioi and Lullubei although they belonged to the Altaic
stock of Kassites. Kaspioi
were just inimical raiders, their common genuine endonyms
comprised ethnic names such as Aigyptoi, Koptoi, Gutti, Hatti, Hittites, Kodagu, Kota, Gadaba and Khonde. These tribes pertained to the trueborn core
of oriental Neolithic farmers in the Fertile Crescent, who created the
culture of Mesopotamian and later also Amerindian Basket-Makers. They
excelled in basketry and textile weaving using herbal materials accessible in
the marshlands surrounding the estuary of big rivers of Mesopotamia. Their basketry
invented the art of weaving reed-stalks into chessboard patterns. Such
technique was typical of the Near East farmers as well as the Anasazi basket-makers in North and Central America. It was imitated
by ornamental patterns on pottery.
These cultures were notable mainly for speaking languages with b-plurals
and indulgence in flat-roof architecture. Their multi-roomed houses with
uncountable annexes had doorless and windowless
walls because they were accessed on ladders from above. Their travels to the
northeast areas set out on several routes. One route led northward along the
western coasts of the Caspian Sea. Another
corridor of migrations proceeded through Burma to south China. The invention
of pottery with chessboard patterns was an early Neolithic discovery but the
skills of basketry were cultivated as early as the Upper Neolithic. The
Amerindian Basket-Makers arrived in the New World as late as in
the 9th millennium BC but their travels to Burma and China must have
occurred in earlier periods. Grave suspicions identify their steps with Acheulean plant-collectors, who colonised the Far East about 800,000
BC. At that time they transgressed the Hallam L. Movius’s line in Burma and proceeded
northward as afar as Korea. Typical Acheulean artefacts were excavated in the Chinese sites Bose, Luonan, Sanmenxia and DRR.
