Martin van Creveld has taught you
this. I've repeated the warning over and over again. Now genetic science is making it indubitably clear
that mass migration is not only war and replacement, but genetic genocide.
Since the beginning of human migration, the Iberian Peninsula—home of
modern-day Spain and Portugal—has been a place where the cultures of Africa,
Europe, and the Mediterranean have mingled.
In a new paper in the journal Science, a group of 111 population geneticists and archaeologists charted 8,000 years of genetics in the region. They paint a picture that shows plenty of genetic complexity, but that also hints at a single mysterious migration about 4,500 years ago that completely shook up ancient Iberians’ DNA.
The team searched DNA evidence for clues to how and when various populations became part of the Iberian Peninsula’s gene pool. They sequenced the genomes of 271 ancient Iberians, then combined that information with previously published data about 132 other ancient peninsula dwellers.

Beginning in the Bronze Age, the genetic makeup of the area changed dramatically. Starting in about 2,500 B.C., genes associated with people from the steppes near the Black and Caspian seas, in what is now Russia, can be detected in the Iberin gene pool. And from about 2,500 B.C. much of the population’s DNA was replaced with that of steppe people.... Though 60 percent of the region’s total DNA remained the same, the Y chromosomes of the inhabitants were almost entirely replaced by 2,000 B.C. That suggests a massive influx of men from the steppes, since Y chromosomes are carried only by men.
“It looks like the influence was very male dominated,” says Miguel Vilar, a genetic anthropologist who serves as senior program officer for the National Geographic Society.
Who were these men—and did they come in peace?

They
obviously didn't come in peace. They invaded the land, slaughtered the men, and
raped the women. That's what mass migration inevitably entails, and why the
large-scale movement of peoples is actually considerably WORSE than simple
international war between nation-states.
Just ask the American Indian.
