Welcome to a brand of
Mathematical
Services.
When those of Afro-Caribean descent think that their culture of tribesand the warring between them
is unlike Western culture and it's monolithic dominating influence on
them, think again
for the eraly developments of Britain, for example were full of many
tribes, cultures and
material identifiers. Thus in my region (West Yorkshire, UK) around
2000 years ago and before
the main tribe were the Brigantes. But these were related to many other
tribes in Western Europe -
the Arras culture, the La Tene culture the Parisi, and the Burgundians
of what is now Germany, and even
as far afield as the Iranian Alborz (they are often associated with
mounainous regions, for example The Alps - this is not surprising these
were favoured places to live rarther than low down
swampy lands of rivers and rivers estuarys (a problem today!). And
around the Brigantes in Yorkshire,
there were the Celts, Picts, the Carveti of Carlisle and Cumbria, the
Votadini in the North and
the Corieltauvi and the Cornovii in the South.
The interesting questions is why these desperate groups managed to
ultimately coalesce better here than elsewhere
and even venture and explore abroad with a unity of purpose more than
in many places (Christopher Columbus style - no!).
