Ботайские коневоды против ямных переселенцев: кто победил?

Цель. Статья представляет собой краткий обзор основных историографических тенденций и посвящена периоду начала глобализации в Евразийских степях – периоду формирования и доминирования элитных кланов в эпоху энеолита и раннего бронзового века.

Процедура и методы. Автор, опираясь на данные популяционной генетики, радиоуглеродные датировки и материалы изобразительных памятников, предлагает модель взаимодействия населения в Казахской степи и Туркестане.

Результаты. На основании известных инноваций в конском снаряжении и упряжи, в колёсном и ином наземном транспорте, успехов в приручении лошадей и верховой езде в статье рассмотрены основные векторы коммуникации населения и общие тенденции в развитии этнокультурной ситуации данного периода.

Теоретическая и/или практическая значимость. Отмечены основные факторы и особенности комплексной модели коммуникации и взаимодействия древних обществ степей Евразии, которые на разных этапах исторического развития демонстрируют неизбежную гегемонию или экспансию небольших, но весьма прогрессивных для своего времени кланов, обладающих передовыми инновациями и подчиненных этническому самосознанию.
