Source refs: `video:predictive-history-j4htfjwl5d8@transcript:v1#seg-0001`; `video:predictive-history-j4htfjwl5d8@transcript:v1#seg-0008` - The steppe pastoralists Jiang identifies with the Proto-Indo-Europeans; the transcript renders the name variably as Yanaya, Anaya, and Yemnaya. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-rat-zudjhrm@transcript:v1#seg-0009`; `video:predictive-history-rat-zudjhrm@transcript:v1#seg-0015` - A later group Jiang previews as carrying a religion of warfare, patriarchy, and wealth that changes human history. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-vanph0gftsa@transcript:v1#seg-0003` - evidence: Jiang describes Proto-Indo-European or Yamnaya displacement of European farmers as violent population replacement, including killing farmer men and taking women as captive brides. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0025` - definition: Jiang treats the Yamnaya, steppe peoples, and Proto-Indo-Europeans as overlapping usable names for this lecture’s pastoralist conqueror culture. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-jpti2gfywru@transcript:v1#seg-0029` - diagnosis: Farmers entered Europe as families and integrated relatively peacefully, while Yamnaya pastoralists entered mostly as young men and eliminated local farming men in what Jiang calls genocide.

Source refs: `video:predictive-history-jpti2gfywru@transcript:v1#seg-0037`, `video:predictive-history-jpti2gfywru@transcript:v1#seg-0038` - model: Old agricultural Europe collapses because static agriculture, disease, and climate change reduce population and create an opening for Yamnaya invasion. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-jpti2gfywru@transcript:v1#seg-0043`, `video:predictive-history-jpti2gfywru@transcript:v1#seg-0044`, `video:predictive-history-jpti2gfywru@transcript:v1#seg-0045` - evidence: Jiang differentiates Yamnaya conquest outcomes by local circumstance: genocide in Britain, male-line replacement in Spain, and caste hierarchy rather than full genocide in India.
