Catastrophe Cultural Mitigation from Sulawesi Ancestors

capturing a little history about Oppenheimer's hypothesis, Sulawesi ancestors and their catastrophe mitigation

Helocene era is the current geological epoch. It began approximately 12.000 years before present.The beginning of the helocene relates with the beginning of the mesolithic age in the most of Europe and Asia. The type of culture associated with this era varies between the area. But it's associates with the decline of hunting culture. Some of potteries, textiles, and agriculture sites founded in mesolithic's sites era. And these archeological sites marked the history's transition into Neolithic era.

.

Neolithic known as "the new stone age era". The neolithic also known as the progression period for the use of wild and domestic crops and domesticated animals, like : buffalo's, cows, pigs, and other cattles. Not of all these Neolithic's characteristics appeared everywhere in the same order. It's depends on the region and culture's progression.

Professor Stephen Oppenheimer (British peadiatrician, geneticist, and writer) in his first book, "Eden in the East" (1998) told us about the alternative theory about human migrations in Helocene era. Based on his research about alpha thalassaemia (blood disorder that reduces the production of hemoglobin. He taken the research's objects in Malaria's endemics) genotypes by language and geography in Papua New Guniea and Southwest Sulawesi. He shows us the alternative of helocene era migration from the earlier theory. The earlier model said that the Helocene era driven expansion from Taiwan to Polynesia. But Oppenhemier said that, during at the time (14000-7000 BC), he hypothesizes that the subcontinent south east Asia of "Sundaland" (Indonesia archipelago, in current time and Sulawesi island is the oldest in his version) was home to a original culture that was dispersed when Sundaland was mostly submerged (because of the melting ice or Noah's flood in Quran and bible version). And it's population was spread out, moved to India subcontinent, Korea, Taiwan, Baluchistan, Kurdistan, Srilanka, and Mesopotamia. He also suggests that the Austronesian languages (Melanesian, Micronesia, and Polynesia) originates from "Sundaland".
