About This Book

A survey of prehistoric Northern Europe that follows human development from Paleolithic ancestors through Neolithic transformations, emphasizing migrations, the impact of glaciation, and shifting subsistence strategies. It describes shell-heaps, caves, pit and fortified land settlements, lakeside pile-villages, burial monuments, and the material remains of daily life—tools, pottery, textiles, seeds, and animal bones—used to reconstruct economy, craft, and exchange networks. The narrative evaluates archaeological methods and uncertain chronologies while reflecting on long-term socialization: the emergence of agriculture, communal institutions, belief and ritual, and the slow ethical and cultural training that shaped later societies.

178 I have selected for examination Professor Kossina’s article, and that not his latest, because it seems to furnish the strongest and clearest brief statement of the theory of the Germanic origin of the Indo-Europeans. Hirt’s work and his references should also be consulted. It is to be regretted that the judgment and work of some of the North German prehistorians on this question are tinged by national prejudice. We must make allowance for their omissions and remember that we have our own pet prejudices.

The dogma of the superiority of the dolichocephalic blond has been made a cult by Mr. J. H. Chamberlin and other far less brilliant writers. It has received little support in Scandinavia. The works of this school should not be taken too seriously.
