	Capsian culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Capsians' diet included a wide variety of animals, many no longer present in the area, ranging from aurochs and hartebeest to hares and snails; there is little evidence on what plants they ate.
		It was in the early Capsian period that the first domesticated sheep and goats appear in the area.
		The Eburran culture of the 13th-8th millennia BC in Kenya is also termed the "Kenya Capsian", due to similarities in the stone blade shapes; it is unclear whether this culture is to be linked with the North African Capsian culture.

		Nevertheless, it cannot be doubted that the Upper Paleolithic hunters-and-artists ranged broadly across the peninsula at times, for their paintings (clearly of the same type as those of the great Cantabrian center of their art) are found in the center of the peninsula, as well as in the province of Málaga in the south.
		In its early years this culture clearly showed influences of the makers of the small geometric flints, but pottery makers and agriculturists were at work, and other Neolithic influences from the eastern Mediterranean were increasingly evident, coming both by land through North Africa and by sea along the Mediterranean.
		During the period of Argaric culture, the copper of South Portugal was exploited.

	Amazigh - Toseeka Search Results
		Unlike the conquests of previous religions and cultures, the coming of Islam, which was spread by Arabs, was to have pervasive and long-lasting effects on the Maghreb.
		Linguists and population geneticists alike have identified this culture as a probable period for the spread of an Afro-Asiatic language (ancestral to the modern Berber languages) to the area.
		Some have regarded this culture's population as simply a continuation of the earlier Mesolithic Ibero-Maurusian culture, which appeared around ~22,000 BC, while others argue for a population change; the former view seems to be supported by dental evidence.

		It is traditionally divided into two variants (often contemporaneous): traditional Capsian, characterized by flake and blade tools, and upper Capsian, with a much greater ariety of geometric microliths.
		Capsian sites are typically accompanied by shell mounds and dark-colored ash ddeposits; some involve caves, while others are open-air.
		The Capsians' diet included a wide variety of animals - many no longer present in he area - ranging from aurochs and hartebeests to hares and snails; there is little evidence on what plants they ate.Anatomically, the Capsians (to use a loose expression) were modern Homo sapiens, classed in two "racial" types: Mechta-Afalou and Proto-mediterranean.

		This culture includes cultural traces like warrior Slavic society and drinking of traditional Slavic drink called "miod" (pl. honey) in the Eastern Europe and "mead" or "mied" in Western Europe from bell shaped cups (like these old Polish drinking horns for drinking mead), as it is clear from their ornament.
		This culture is example of an early Indo-European culture, which in one part is derived from early Corded Ware culture, but in second part it is derived from east and central European cultures, which become "Kurganized" under incursions from steppe tribes from east.
		Ertebolle culture is a culture of Western European natives, whom were according to archeological diggouts mixed race Cro-Magnon.

		The area of modern Morocco has been inhabited since Neolithic times, at least 8000 BC, as attested by signs of the Capsian culture, in a time when the Maghreb was less arid than it is today.
		Many theorists believe the Berber language probably arrived at roughly the same time as agriculture (see Berber), and was adopted by the existing population as well as the immigrants that brought it.
		Casablanca is the center of commerce and industry and the leading port; Rabat is the seat of government; Tangier is the gateway to Morocco from Spain and also a major port; Fez is the cultural and religious center; and the dominantly "Berber" Marrakech is a major tourist center.

		During the Old Kingdom it was thought that small-scale Caucasoid incursions from the Levant lightened the skin tone of the original Egyptians, with subsequent "invasions" from Persia, Greece, and Rome further transforming the physical characteristics of the Egyptians.
		The origins of this culture are unclear; according to the historian Christopher Ehret, the probably came from the African coast of the Red Sea.
		Culture is more important than physical features which vary mostly (85-90%) on the individual level.

		Language is part of culture but culture includes many other things like ideas, beliefs, customs, codes, institutions, tools, techniques, works of art, rituals, and ceremonies, among other elements.
		The small stone and earthen tumuli and monuments left in the wake of the early pastoral cultures attest to a degree of social ranking in the former probably based around the accumulation of livestock and widely traded polished stone objects (beads, arm rings, axes, etc.).

		This remained the case until after the time of the Arabic expansion and the spread of Islam; even then, trade was restricted to costly (but often profitable) caravan expeditions, trading such goods as salt, gold, ivory, and slaves.
		Though Maghreb culture as well as its people have both African and Middle Eastern roots, most Maghrebis are either Arabic- or Berber-speaking Muslims of predominantly Middle Eastern ancestry, while a few are of predominantly African ancestry, and the corsairs brought in significant amounts of Italian, Spanish, and Turkish ancestry in the big coastal cities.
		The Arabic dialects of the Maghreb share many common characteristics (like a first person singular present with n-) that set them apart from the dialects of the Middle East and most of Egypt; Berber languages, of course, are almost exclusively spoken in the Maghreb, and were originally spoken throughout it.

		The industry appears to have spread throughout the coastal regions of the Maghrib between 15,000 and 10,000 B.C. Between about 9000 and 5000 B.C., the Capsian culture began influencing the IberoMaurusian, and after about 3000 B.C. the remains of just one human type can be found throughout the region.
		Neolithic civilization (marked by animal domestication and subsistence agriculture) developed in the Saharan and Mediterranean Maghrib between 6000 and 2000 B.C. This type of economy, so richly depicted in the Tassili-n-Ajjer cave paintings, predominated in the Maghrib until the classical period.
		Distinguished primarily by cultural and linguistic attributes, the Berbers lacked a written language and hence tended to be overlooked or marginalized in historical accounts.

		Most if not all of these invaders have left some imprint upon the modern Berbers as have slaves brought from throughout Europe (some estimates place the number of Europeans brought to North Africa during the Ottoman period as high as 1.25 million)[3] and sub-Saharan Africa have also left impressions upon the local populations.
		In historical times, the Berbers expanded south into the Sahara (displacing earlier fl African populations such as the Azer and Bafour), and have in turn been mainly culturally assimilated in much of North Africa by Arabs, particularly following the incursion of the Banu Hilal in the 11th century.
		Prominent Berber groups include the Kabyles of northern Algeria, who number approximately 4 million and have kept, to a large degree, their original language and culture; and the Cleuh (francophone plural of Arabic "Shalh" and Tashelhiyt "ašəlḥi") of south Morocco, numbering about 8 million.
