Piet has suggested this remarkable link (see Thistle’s discussion about Saharasia and my answer); thanks piet: The Origins and Diffusion of Patrism in Saharasia, c.4000 BCE: Evidence for a Worldwide, Climate-Linked; Geographical Pattern in Human Behavior by James DeMeo
A very interesting addendum to our previous posts on desert-complex, Mecca-nomics, desert-nomadism and Tellurian Omega.
Thanks, Reza. I'd seen this link but neglected to post it. I'll have to read it eventually.
btw, your comments are never out of place over at dehiscence (though some of my posts are, ha, ha).
