When did wool become commonly used in textiles in Northern Europe and Neolithic Britain? One of the values of sheep, which are dumber than goats, and maybe less hardy is fleece. I have seen that the oldest preserved example of Northern European wool textile comes from a Danish bog dated around 1500 BC. Before shears, wool was plucked by hand or with bronze combs the source says. That seems rather tedious, and even worse if you only had wooden combs. Without the widespread use of woolen textiles, goats seem to be the winner as man's second best friend. Any enlightenment will be appreciated. It didn't. It wasnt until the Late Bronze Age, with the Deverel-Rimbury culture migration into Britian. With this migration, larger-horned studeri sheep was introduced to Britian, which led to wool production. I agree with your thesis. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you get when you cross a cow and a goat? A large and dangerous semi-arboreal herbivore that has killed many herdsmen by falling on them after misjudging the strength of a tree limb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do lean towards Basque and PIE possiblu being descended from a common ancestor. However, I favour the Kurgan hypothesis compared to the Anatolian hypothesis.

They both had Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer ancestors in their genetic mix so there might be a common proto- language. The Kurgan Hypothesis has been pretty much nailed down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
