"During Neolithic average height for men grew from 165 to 176 cm. and for women from 152 to 162 cm. In the extensive bone material is also evident that during the Neolithic period, both men and women became more slender built. The characteristic "Cro Magnon" traits are less frequent on the skulls from the Neolithic than in material from the Ertebølle period - I think of sloping forehead, strong eyebrow arches, powerful jaws, etc.

Some believe that the increased average height was caused by an improved diet after the Neolithic introduction of agriculture. But short stature of a population is frequently caused by lack of proteins, and one can not say that the Ertebølle hunters did not get enough proteins; they ate in general only proteins. They had without doubt reached their maximum height.

 

All this must have been genetic changes, which necessarily must have been based on some form of immigration during the Neolithic period.

The first short skull in Denmark was found in a jættestue grave på Sjælland near the village of Borreby. As we remember jættestue graves belong to the later part of neolithic.

In these politically correct times, we love to imagine a harmonious and peaceful coexistence among different races and cultures. But if such a paradise condition ever had existed, it was without doubt a purely temporary exception. In the real world the strong overcame the weak, killed the men and produced their own children on the women. Which would have been a natural and original form of racial mixing.

We recall that there have been some mistakes in the gender determination of skeletons from the Hunter Stone Age. One can determine a skeleton's gender by measuring the size of the limb bones, molars, etc., assuming that women are more slender built and have smaller molars than corresponding men. But initially some of hunters' female skeletons were erroneously assessed as men. The ancient hunters' own women seemed to have been some pretty rough and manly types.

Such sexual preference would have left its genetic traces in the population, such that at the end of Neolithic that time Danes much resembled modern types, perhaps not so tall.

 

The Funnel Beaker culture was the dominant and leading culture through the entire Neolithic. There have undoubtedly been many migrations and invasions, which the hunters' descendants have rejected. The Pit Ceramics only managed to exist a few hundred years. Only the Single Grave people represented a permanent immigration to the until then uninhabited Jutland Heath.

 

 

The genes of the original hunters are still among us. As a type one of the old hunters would certainly fit well into the types of the modern Danish people; no one would find him very strange. Many modern ethnic Danes have features in common with the hunters, such as sloping forehead, eyebrow arches or prominent jaw. A slightly broad and not very tall type is also quite common in Denmark. But the frequency of these ancient "cro magnon" features is definately less in the modern population, than it was in Hunters' Stone Age and most part of Neolithic."
