Do the six shared pastoral motifs speak of a demic NeolithicCurious that none of the images come from the Anatolian digs. I have
agropastoral movement from Africa to Anatolia and Europe? In the chart
shown on the web page are six pastoral motifs [A to F] variously
shared between those locations (and China?). Before considering them,
should we ask, "Do these regions have other cultural artefacts in
common that would seemingly indicate a demic movement from Africa
occured to Asia Minor and Europe?" Please evaluate the following:

not read of African skulls found there. I have seen it reported on the
Chatal Hoyuk website a few years back that they found caucasoid,
Alpine, and Semetic skulls. I dont see a clear African connection in
any of the iconography.
The obese female figures found look more like what the Ukrainian
mammoth hunters left us. And after the mammoth went extinct, it
wouldda been a no brainer to shift focus to the Aurochs, who were
better adapted to the transitional post glacial era.
But they didnt have a patent on running cattle; no doubt it developed
symbiotically all across North AFrica up into the Near East, and in
Europe, and would have gotten an enormous boost with the introduction
of dogs, not only to manage the stock but to warn of the presence of
other predators. http://dc-pc.org/raj/raj.html has my fictional
account of the transition from mammoth hunting to herdinr Aurochs in
Ukraine, but a similar kind of thing was going on in other regions,
and I dont see any way to sort it all out.
Sure, there was an African influence, but just like the Vikings in the
new world, not economically significant.
