Ancient Human Remains In The Zagros Mountains Can Re-Write History
[Archaeologists have discovered intriguing ancient human remains belonging to people who lived in the Zagros Mountains, the largest mountain range in Iran, Iraq and Southeastern Turkey. This find completely change our current understanding of how ancient farming spread across the world.
Scientists say they have discovered evidence of a previously unknown group of Stone Age farmers may have introduced agriculture to South Asia. The research team, consisting of scientists from Europe, the United States and Iran identified similarities between the Neolithic farmer’s DNA and that of living people from southern Asia, including from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Iranian Zoroastrians in particular.]
[This new finding challenge earlier theories that attributed the spread of farming to a different population.
According to previous theories, a single group of hunter-gatherers developed agriculture in the Middle East some 10,000 years ago and then migrated to Europe, Asia and Africa, where they gradually replaced or mixed with the local population.
However, analysis of the ancient humans remains discovered in the Zagros Mountains clearly belong to a completely separate people who appear to have taken up farming around the same time as their cousins further west in Anatolia, now Turkey.
“There was this idea that there’d been one group of genius inventors who developed agriculture,” said Joachim Burger, one of the authors of the study published online Thursday in the journal Science. “Now we can see there were genetically diverse groups.”]
[DNA examination of 9,000 to 10,000-year-old bone fragments discovered in a cave near Eslamabad, 600 kilometers (370 miles) southwest of the Iranian capital of Tehran, belonging to a man with black hair, brown eyes and dark skin, revealed the man’s diet included cereals, a sign that he had learned how to cultivate

crops.]
Klik the article for more, well while the find is about 2yrs old, I myself just came across it, what I find interesting, is the article specifically pointed out dark-skins of the inhabitants given the all the hoopla over Chadder man, and a people known as the Lullubi.
[Naram Sin defeats the Lullubi – about 2230BC. The Lullubi or Lulubi were a group of Pre-Iranian tribes during the 3rd millennium BC, from a region known as Lulubum, now the Sharazor plain of the Zagros]
The name sound suspiciously Sumerian, but need looking into as most of us know Naram Sin was an Akkadian whose granddad took over the Sumerian city States.
