I then follow Kevin MacDonald through Western history and show how the ethnic characteristics of the Ice Age hunters and Indo-European pastoralists continued on in the ancient world of the Greeks and Romans and in the Dark Ages of the German barbarians. Ice Age hunters stayed in small groups and never developed large scale kin networks which required higher social skills, verbal intelligence and the ability to read body language. The Indo-Europeans were an extraordinarily successful group that had by far the most influence on European culture for 4,000 years into the European Middle Ages.
