Half of all indigenous men residents of Western Europe, turned out to be descendants of the same the patriarch. Such an interesting conclusion was made by an international group. scientists who analyzed the DNA of several thousand Europeans.
According to experts, we are talking about a very prolific leader the Bronze Age, which he founded, which subsequently inhabited the whole Western Europe, the dynasty of aristocrats.
The study involved more than ten thousand men from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The experiment was conducted as part of the international project “Thousand genomes “launched in 2008 and aimed at obtaining the most detailed directory of hereditary variation person.
Scientists compared experimental Y-chromosomes that inherit only on the male line and determining the male gender of the offspring. Specialists surprised to find that about fifty percent of the participants experiments have a common male ancestor who lived several tens of thousands of years ago – that is, by and large, accounted for each other very distant relatives. Researchers are convinced that such statistics can be safely transferred to the context of everything Western European population.
Bronze Age Men
It is known that in the Bronze Age, namely fifty to sixty thousand years ago, in Western Europe there was an unprecedented increase male population. Experts suggest that he was provoked the descendants of one of the powerful patriarchs of that era. Presumably, the monarch ordered the aristocracy to get rid of most born girls, raising predominantly boys, since men were the basis and guarantor safety of an ancient society. By the way, according to many scientists, such unnatural selection ultimately led to a disproportionate large scale homosexuality in Western civilization.

A significant increase in the West European population is believed to be in the Bronze Age was associated with a sharp technological leap. Were created a wheel and many metal tools, and the elite, consisting solely of men, appropriated these inventions to herself and strictly controlled their production. In the final toga, primitive aristocracy became so powerful that it began control human reproduction. The leader tried to get as more warriors, hunters and workers, that is, men, can be while a few women were required only constantly give birth to children and care for them.
The described patriarch, apparently, represented organizers of the so-called “new order” in Western Europe. This hierarchically organized society has replaced egalitarian and autonomous communities that existed on the same territory in the stone age. The invention of wheel and technology metalworkers gave the elite the resources needed to subjugation of the ordinary population and waging successful wars with others tribes.
