One question: is it necessary to separate the history of Sumer from the "Uruk’s expansion"? Let's take a retrospective look at the events connected with this history... Most likely, the Yamnaya culture was initiated by this mysterious expansion. There we see the merger of the R1b and J2 genetic communities. The influence of the latter extended to Khvalynsk starting from 4000 BC. Klyosov (uffff) claims that the formation of Sumer was initiated by the so-called "Erbins", R1b. But, maybe it all started with the cultural expansion of the J2 community from a certain center "X"? Who organized the "civilization of the Uruks." R1b pastoral nomads did not invent metallurgy, which is confusing in Klyosov's theory of their "expansive beginning". The invention of metallurgy (from which the cultural expansion of metal traders begins) is associated with mountains and forests, which are needed to obtain copper from ore. For example, the Taurus Mountains (Cilicia, Mersin and Tarsus 5200 BC!) and Magan. If this is the case, then the source of the «Uruk’s expansion» associated with J2 and the wooded mountains containing copper ore should be looked for.
Well, the powerful «Uruk’s expansion» could not begin simply from the reed swamps of Sumer !!!
