These articles explore
the current information from archeology, paleoclimatology, population
genetics, languages, and so on, to explore one facet of history since
the Ice Age, the development of the boat as a central part of a ways of
life - much like the automobile and truck today - and how this
innovation allowed humans to travel some 5 times further or farther
than previously on foot, and use all water bodies and rivers as
readymade highways.

THE LANGUAGES PERSPECTIVE
The investigation into the story of the birth and expansion of
northern boat-oriented hunter-gatherers is/was an original
multi-disciplinary investigation, based mainy in archeological and
associated discoveries over the past century. Languages are naturally
one of the areas that can contribute some data to this multidiciplinary
approach. We provide discussions about languages in separate articles
below

THE VENETI: A CONSEQUENCE OF THE BOAT PEOPLES SUCCESS WITHIN EARLY CIVILIZATION
While much of the boat peoples remained in the world of
aboriginal hunter gatherers, about 5,000 years ago, the boat peoples
discovered their boats could serve a major role in civilizations to the
south, in transporting goods between the stationary
agriculturally-based settled peoples. Professional large scale traders
developed, and from it there developed a Veneti trade system north of
the Mediterranean, as widely distributed and busy as the Phoenicians
and Greeks in the Mediterrean. Due to this view that these Veneti
originated from the northern boat peoples, and spoke a Finnic language,
we had to spend some years deciphering the writings left in northern
Italy by these people to show they were in a Finnic language
Work on the Veneti has been a separate pursuit, and is found in another part of this website.
