Evolution The violent spirit to forge a civilization vol 1

─Human nature has been violent since the Stone Age


Consulting issue 82 of the specialist journal Antiquity (^) [ 33 ], I found an


account of the operations by which strontium, oxygen and carbon isotope


analyses were carried out on the tooth enamel of a group of Neolithic


victims. This is a breakthrough in trying to deduce where they came from,


since this discovery was made in 1983 , naming it the "Talheim ossuary",


located in the course of the Neckar River, in Germany. A farmer found it


while harvesting his beets, it is considered (at the time of my enquiry) to be


the earliest known evidence of human violence in the Stone Age. Let us


recall that further north in the course of the river Rhine, a fossil of the so-


called "Neanderthal Man" was found in (^1856) [ 34 ].


─Our analysis points to the fact that the local women must have


been seen in a very special way, which made them, keep them alive for


themselves. They took them with them, in fact they were most likely the


target of the attack.─ says archaeologist Alexander Bentley. Not so the


rest: the women were killed by the other two alien groups, as evidenced by


seven of the skeletons found, although the sex of two others has not been


ascertained. On this the anthropologists can only speculate: possibly they


even came with the attackers. Bentley's team was also able to establish that,


at the time of the massacre, there were three different groups; one was a


family and another mountain band, but only one of the three groups was


local to the Neckar valley, the anthropologist told the German media


Spiegel. ─To the local settlement proper belonged only four adults and


eight children, whose remains have been found: all males and not a single


female?


The target of the attack, as Bentley and his colleagues Joachim


Wahl, T. Douglas Price and Tim C. Atkinson now reveal after intensive


studies using the new stable isotope method, the butchery did not take place


on traditional political grounds such as territory and power. ─It is much


more likely that the attackers were targeting the women of the settlement.


The remains of the 34 human beings found are male, the women survived.─
