The Nomads

Updated April 6, 2016. This story begins with a man and his family about the year 1000 BC somewhere in the southwest of Eurasia. His primary occupation is feeding and taking care of his animals and family. He, his parents, and descendants are part of a tribe of nomads that have been on the move, living off the land, season following season, for as long as anyone in the tribe can remember. Over many ages the characters migrate into Anatolia, to Europe where they assimilate with Celtic cousins, then to Britain and finally to America. As the nomads experience migration problems, history is brought into the story to give the reader a better sense of the nomads travails. This book, "The Nomads," is the beginning of a series of short stories that helps to explain the evolution of the European Ancestors of many families that migrated to England and then America. The book is a fictional account of migrating characters that is based on the non-fiction books "European Ancestors: Their DNA, Archaeological, Historical, and Linguistic Evidence" that is published in full color and a less expensive version in tones of grey. There are a total of six short stories that are also consolidated into two books of three volumes each titled "Anatolia to Britain" and "America's Frontier." The next title following "The Nomads," in Volume 2 of the series, is "The Anglos: Their Pleasures and Travails."
