Journal Article
EARLY AGRICULTURALIST POPULATION DIASPORAS? FARMING, LANGUAGES, AND GENES
2001
Overview
The consequences of early agricultural development in several regions of the
Old and New Worlds included population growth, the spread of new material
cultures and of food-producing economies, the expansions of language families,
and in many cases the geographical expansions of the early farming populations
themselves into territories previously occupied by hunters and gatherers. This
chapter discusses some of the different outcomes that can be expected according
to the differing perspectives of archaeology, linguistics, and biological
anthropology. I argue that agriculturalist expansion lies at the root of many
of the world's major language families, although this need not imply that
farmers always replaced hunter-gatherers in the biological sense. History,
enviromental variations, and prior cultural configurations dictated many of the
outcomes, some of which played a fundamental role in the large-scale genesis of
human cultural and biological patterning from Neolithic/Formative times into
the world of today.
