what about the legendary centaurs?
didn't they invade from the north?
Peake, who she refers to, made that association explicitly.
Referencing him, she mentions how this western expansion of "southern Russian" steppemen at the ending of the third millenium bc / beginning of the second millenium BC (perfectly matches the horse breed expansion) was responsible for the "destruction" of the Tripolye culture (or pushing it west).
She then mentions that something of the Tripolye culture must have been picked up by them since after this pottery like that of Tripolye appears in Thessally, Troy, and Caicus...
I wonder if this end of Tripolye can be responsible for E-V13 introduction into IE groups, either by pushing some west into carpathians, or integrating some specialists.
