THE
BRONZE AGE
171
The
vehicles which diffused this trait over most of Europe during the
Late Bronze Age are called Urnfields cultures, which arose on the
plain north of the Carpathians, from Silesia to the Ukraine. From
this center they spread in all directions. Some went southward over
the Alps to Italy, while cremation was introduced into Greece before
the time of the Trojan war. From a secondary center of expansion in
the Alpine highlands, a special Urnfields diffusion entered the
British Isles as a major invasion.
For
obvious reasons, the skeletal remains associated with the Urnfields
cemeteries may be disposed of very briefly. Cremated bones which
have survived the rite are usually so fragile that little in the way
of racial identification has been attempted, although it has been
shown by experiment that they shrink little or none in the
fire.100
Those from the British Isles indicate in general that the invaders
of this time may have been smaller and slighter than their
predecessors. A small series of crania from southern England which
escaped cremation were those of Alpines of the brachycephalic Lake
Dwelling type,101
brought from the secondary Urnfields center in Switzerland. On the
other hand, eight Late Bronze Age skulls from northwestern France
102
are all meso- or dolichocephalic; and may have come directly from
Germany with the vanguard of the Keltic migrations. Eight other
skulls, from the Ukrainian urnfields,103
are long headed, and similar to the immediately preceding u
Nordic” type of the same region.
Some
of the south Russian and Caucasian remains already studied are of
Late Bronze Age date, as are those from Siberia, both having escaped
cremation. The general time scale of cultural phenomena in central
Asia as compared with Europe would indicate that important ethnic
movements were not passing from east to west at that time. By
the end of the Middle Bronze Age, the ethnic elements which were to
form the population of Europe at the beginning of the Iron Age
had all arrived; during the period of cremation, no new ingredients
were added, but those already there participated in a considerable
readjustment and recombination.
The
Bronze Age covered, in most of Europe, the brief span of some six
centuries, as compared with an expanse three times as long in Egypt
and Mesopotamia. During these six centuries, however, important
racial changes took place in many parts of the European world, while
in the two valleys from which European civilization emanated, the

Summary and conclusions
172
THE
RACES OF EUROPE
remained
constant. The parts of Europe most affected by Bronze Age movements
of people were the north and west; and hence these activities may be
interpreted as a late phase of the displacements initiated by the
retreat of the last glacier, and continued by the discovery of the
principles of food production. By the end of the Bronze Age, the
centers of civilization had begun their movement northward and
westward, toward Greece and Italy, movements which were later to
push much farther in the same direction. It is perhaps no
coincidence that, since the beginning of the Neolithic, people from
the east and south had migrated to the north and west ahead of this
progression.
Among
the problems left over from the Neolithic which the evidence of the
Bronze Age has helped to clarify is that of the immediate origin of
the Danubians. In the Neolithic Danubian-like peoples cultivated the
rich soil of southern Russia and of western Turkestan. We now know
that they must have formed a large bloc of agriculturalists
occupying Asia Minor as well, and probably also the Caucasus. Thus
they may have come into the Danube Valley from either southern
Russia or Anatolia, or both; and their earlier derivation from the
agricultural highlands is established.
A
second problem, which arose only during the Bronze Age, is the
origin of the new racial type which appeared, shortly before 2000
B.C.,
apparently
from nowhere, in Asia Minor, Palestine, and Cyprus. This new type
was tall, round headed and frequently planoccipital; its nose was
prominent and narrow; its face triangular and of moderate length. In
its associated morphological features, it forecast the appearance of
the Dinaric race.
Brachycephals
of this type followed the old Megalithic sea route to Italy, the
Italian islands, and Spain. In Spain some of them seem to have
associated themselves with cultural phenomena known as the Bell
Beaker complex. As the Bell Beaker people, these newcomers travelled
from Spain to the Rhinelands and to central Europe, where they were
the first disseminators of metal. Having appeared in the
Rhineland in considerable numbers, they mixed with the older Borreby
sub-stratum which had remained there since the Mesolithic, and
with Corded people coming from the east. This triple combination
moved bodily down the Rhine and across the North Sea to Britain.
Thus, during the Early Bronze Age, England and Scotland were invaded
by people of entirely new types, who came in numbers sufficient to
change the population of these countries in a radical manner.
At the same time, other movements of these brachycephals from the
eastern Mediterranean passed by sea from Spain to Ireland and from
Ireland across to Scotland.
The
appearance of these early Dinarics on the Asiatic and European scene
marks the advent of the third important brachycephalic racial type
THE
BRONZE AGE
173
which
we have encountered in our survey of the post-glacial prehistory of
the white race. Unlike the Borreby and Alpine types, it cannot be
easily or plausibly explained as a simple Palaeolithic survivor.
Facially it is basically Mediterranean; it seems to be a
Mediterranean type brachy- cephalized by some non-Mediterranean
agency.104
These
Dinarics did not come from central Asia, nor from Mesopotamia or
Egypt. Facially, they resemble the dolichocephalic residents of Asia
Minor and the eastern Mediterranean coast lands of the period during
which they first appeared, in that both have in common a
high-bridged, high-rooted nose, high orbits, and a sloping forehead.
Until further evidence is found, it is safer to hold that the
culture-bearing Dinarics of the Bronze Age developed in the Syrian
highlands, where a similar type of brachycephaly is now present,
than to try to bring them from a distance.
Another
Bronze Age event of racial moment was the gradual disappearance
through amalgamation of the Corded people and of the Danubians, and
the emergence of an intermediate long-headed form. This latter,
which inhabited the immense stretch of territory from Germany and
Austria to the Altai Mountains, occupied an intermediate position in
the total roster of greater Mediterranean racial variations.
In
Austria and Bohemia the high vault and narrow face of both Corded
and Danubian strains persisted, but from southern Russia over to the
Altai, the vaults were lower and the faces broader. Two variants
thus appeared, a western and an eastern. There is evidence that the
eastern group, at least, was partly if not prevailingly blond. Both
eastern and western divisions may with some confidence be compared
to the “Nordic” peoples who appeared historically during the
Iron Age.
At
the end of the Bronze Age, for a period of two or three centuries,
the pall of cremation falls over the racial history of Europe. When
the smoke has lifted during the Early Iron Age, we shall see what
changes have taken place during this period of darkness.
104
The principle of Dinaricization will be explained in Chapter VIII,
section 6, and Chapter XII, sections 11, 12, and 17. See also
legend, Plate 35.
