Who were the first warriors of Europe? In the Neolithic, violence was sporadic but by the Bronze Age warfare and warriors were a core part of society.
In the late Neolithic and Copper Age, clans from the Yamnaya, Corded Ware, and Bell Beaker cultures raided others. They were armed with bows, copper daggers, and battle axes but the extent to which these men were "warriors" is debated.
By the time of the Late Bronze Age, warriors served chiefs and kings from Mycenaean Greece to Nordic Bronze Age Sweden and Denmark.
They guarded trade routes like the so-called Amber Road and fought pitched battles like at the Tollense Valley battlefield.
So when and where did a class of dedicated warriors emerge? What weapons did they use? And how and why did they fight?

Perhaps a discussion of the role of armor during the neolithic, cooper and early bronze age. About the only descriptions are from Homer regarding its importance in effectiveness, social standing and identification of the individual warrior during the late bronze age. I would assume this relationship between the warrior and his armor began with the rise of the first warriors in the neolithic. I would guess the development of weapons would be greatly influenced by the armor at any particular time, such as the decline of archery due to its lack of effectiveness due to armor, or perhaps the development of the cooper halberd to circumvent the armor in common use at the time.

The soft cooper halbred although at first look appears to have little use I can see where it would be quite useful in reaching behind a leather armored opponent and slicing the tendons behind the knee or the ankle.

One of the theories about Otzi The Iceman is that he was a bandit who had snuck into the mountains to ambush people. That would explain his extremely valuable copper and his very well made Flint knife that he had more clumsily fixed after it lost some of its edge. The highwayman theory would also explain why his Killers didn't rob him, because they weren't robbers and he was the aggressor... "But hey, that's just a theory, a chalcolithic theory!"

Even materially poor societies can have very strong taboos against using dead folks' stuff. Eskimos didn't have resource rich environments, for example, but they had a very strong prohibition against taking up and using dead people's weapons, etc. Ever heard of Paleosociology? Nobody has beard of it because for human behavior before written records we can, at best, just speculate what was going on. No evidence, no facts, just a few clues. Sure. Some of the guesses are good. Others are off the wall.

Spears not being prevalent in the Neolithic is very interesting and also counterintuitive to me given the first hafted weapons in history were flint tipped spears hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Stone spears are good at stabbing flesh, not wood (shields). I think their absence in documented warfare may indicate existence of shields even though we don't have any from that period (yet). Also spears as hunting instrument were totally displaced by bows and thus became obsolete until technology caughd up with the demand for more durable spear head suitable for its new purpose which was war.

The Bronze age is definitely one of the area's of history that seems almost out of reach, even people in the classical age referred to the era as the time of hero's (I could be totally wrong but the time of heroes thing rings a bell). That little aura of mystery and legend is very compelling. I will be reading this series of books after all the ideas are down for mine but not until. Hate the idea of even accidentally nicking ideas off modern writers.

The rest of the world seems to be completely forgotten and the major technological advances and shifts in society and culture, such as the rise of a warrior class and advent of large scale warfare is forgotten about.

The difference is about whether someone sees the fight as a core part of their identity. Take a 'warrior' vs a 'soldier'. A soldier is a job that someone can pick up or put down, whereas a warrior is someone for whom fighting is a core part of their personality. They can't put it down because it's who they are. This is the distinction that arose during the Chalcolithic/early bronze age.

Also other civilizations like the Minoans on Crete. They don't get talked about much. Egypt is fair, but even that is not talked about that much, at least not its bronze age. You can add to that the various cultures of Mesopotamia, which is my personal favorite. Yet how much do most people know about the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Amorites etc.?

It was more practical then splitting the heard and make both sons poorer than their father or giving it all to one and leaving the other one sour and potentially cause trouble.

Thanks for the video Dan. Just wanted to say that your very well researched and articulated presentations led me to read both of your Gods of Bronze books. I love your take on Bronze Age Europe. Keep up the good writing sir!
