Re: Odp: [tied] Genesis of Germanic

The Corded Ware people were tall dolichocephals. This is not a
myth. Especially those who invaded Denmark and brought the ancestor of
proto-Germanic. See THE RACES OF EUROPE by Harvard Professor Carleton
Coon. Goths in Poland two or three thousand years later are another
matter. It is a well known fact that Goths, Huns, Sarmatians and all
sorts of other people often travelled and lived together. You can't
really tell from archaeology which ones spoke Gothic or came from the
Baltic area. It is a not a myth that the people in the area that
proto-Germanic came from had Nordic physical characteristics. This would
include Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and northern Germany. The "Gothic"
hordes in the steppes of the Ukraine might include other racial types.
