Prehistoric Eurasian nomads are commonly perceived as horse riding bandits who utilized their mobility and military skill to antagonize ancient civilizations such as the Chinese, Persians, and Greeks.

I have failed to find anything new of significance in this article. They still manage to present an ancient world without any African/Negro/Black presence or contribution. Yet, when the time comes to diminish how Europeans destroyed Africa and Africans with slavery (then and now) all kind of evidence becomes available to prove that black Africans were enslaving themselves way before whites sailed to Africa and paid to have them kidnapped. The very word Eurasia is an attempt to continue to omit any Negro contribution to history, and give every credit to every other group except Negro Africans. Thus, even ancient Egyptians are Eurasians, never Negro Africans.

The article addresses migration with Eurasia. It was never meant to be global nor does it suggest this was the only important migration in Human History, It is not. It is however a well studied migration within anthropology and archeology and it is a migration that gave rise to a family of closely related languages that runs from Iceland to the deserts of Afghanistan, Iran Pakistan and northern India.

careforcaregivers, As Bloger pointed out this was not about the African continent. There have been many contributions throughout the ages, made by

African/Negro/Black presence

and if this article were about those contributions then I would say you have a valid argument. This article, however, is about the Eurasion nomads! Personally I doubt (though maybe I am wrong in this belief) that there was much "African/Negro/Black presence" in that area during that time.

If you would like to support an opposing view with other studies I suggest you seed them.
