Are Northern Europeans more pure descendants
of the Atlanteans than their Mediterranean counterparts?

E. EARLY CIVILIZATION.

THOUSANDS OF YEARS WENT BY AFTER THE LAST ICE AGE REACHED ITS MAXIMUM. THOUSANDS OF YEARS ALSO WENT BY AFTER THE DUST HAD SETTLED IN SOUTHERN EUROPE WHEN A NEW AMALGAMATED SOCIETY EMERGED. THIS DYNAMIC SOCIETY WAS NOT ONLY WELL VERSED IN AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, BUT ALSO WAS AT THE THRESHOLD OF ADVANCEMENT IN SPOKEN AND WRITTEN LANGUAGE, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. THESE PEOPLE WERE WORK-MOTIVATED , EAGER TO ADAPT, INVENT AND APPLY THEIR ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE. THEY WERE INFLUENCED SOMEWHAT BY THE CLIMATE OF THE TIME WHICH WAS A LITTLE COOLER, RAINIER AND MORE HUMID IN THE SUMMER. THESE PEOPLE WERE SPREAD ALONG SOUTHERN EUROPE FROM THE IBERIAN PENINSULA TO ASIA MINOR, HAVING THEIR HUB IN THE AEGEAN REGION. THE LAND IN THE AEGEAN WAS FERTILE, GOOD FOR AGRICULTURE, AND ABLE TO SUPPORT A LARGE NUMBER OF INHABITANTS (AS "PLATO" IN CRITIAS INDICATES). THE MORE INHABITANTS AN AREA IS ABLE TO SUPPORT, THE MORE SPECIALIZED PROFESSIONS PEOPLE WILL ACQUIRE, THUS FORMING AN ADVANCED SOCIETY, WHICH IN TURN NEEDS A MORE SOPHISTICATED FORM OF COMMUNICATION, LAWS AND GOVERNMENT.
