This information
was removed, with the following edit summary: "Removed more undue weight given to a fringe theory. These are not reliable authors." Your thoughts?
Hypotheses which suggest that genocidal violence
may have caused the extinction of the
Neanderthals have been offered by several authors, including
Jared Diamond[1] and
Ronald Wright.[2] However, several scholars have formed alternative theories as to why the Neanderthals died out, which means there is no clear consensus as to what caused their extinction within the scientific community.[3]
This information
was removed, with the following edit summary: "Isolated mass graves of ~30 people are quite obviously not "proof of genocide" in prehistory." Your thoughts?
The mass grave near Schletz, part of
Asparn an der Zaya, was located about 33 kilometres to the north of
Vienna,
Austria, and dates back about 7,500 years. Schletz, just like the
Talheim Death Pit, is one of the earliest known sites in the archaeological record that shows proof of genocide in Early
Neolithic Europe, among various
LBK tribes.[1]

Indo-European migrations
This information
was removed, with the following edit summary: "Rm. synthesis of primary archaeogenetic studies. We only have one scholar (Kristiansen) mentioning the word genocide, and even that is only an interview, so highly undue to base an entire section on it." Your thoughts?
The Neolithic farmers, called the
Early European Farmers (EEF),
migrated from Anatolia to the Balkans in large numbers during the 7th millennium BC.[1] Around 3,000 BC, people of the pastoralist
Yamnaya culture from the
Pontic–Caspian steppe, who had high levels of
WSH ancestry,
embarked on a massive expansion throughout Eurasia, which is considered to be associated with the dispersal of the
Indo-European languages by most contemporary linguists, archaeologists, and geneticists. The expansion of WSHs resulted in the virtual disappearance of the Y-DNA of Early European Farmers (EEFs) from the European gene pool, significantly altering the cultural and genetic landscape of Europe. EEF mtDNA however remained frequent, suggesting admixture between WSH males and EEF females.[2] More than 90% of Britain's Neolithic gene pool was replaced with the coming of the
Beaker people,[3] who were around 50% WSH ancestry.[4] Danish archaeologist
Kristian Kristiansen said he is "increasingly convinced there must have been a kind of genocide."[5] According to geneticist
David Reich, "The collision of these two populations was not a friendly one, not an equal one, but one where the males from outside were displacing local males and did so almost completely."[6]
I have been looking at your addition too as it looked unsound to me. Most of the info is about the tribe and not about the events. It seems to be based upon an opinion of one person: Kristian Kristiansen. David Reich does not back up the claim of genocide. The addition also lacks peer reviewed scientific sources.
I haven't much to say beyond what I put in the edit summary. Eminent as Professor Kristiansen is, a single offhand comment from him in a sensationalist pop science article doesn't constitute a
significant viewpoint in reliable sources. And in general we need to bear in mind that Indo-European studies is a rapidly evolving field right now, with different primary sources coming to radically different conclusions; and that news media and pop science coverage of these topics tends to be extremely unreliable.
Secondary,
scholarly sources are always preferable and I don't think you'll find any significant support for the notion of an Indo-European 'genocide' in those. –
