Beyond Beaker

While interesting,
the Beaker people
are known to have lived
calm, sedentary lives;
cereal in the morning,
malted milk at night.

More adventurous,
the earlier Tankard people,
with their regular binges
in numerous stone temples,
were more gregarious.
New research has them
emerging over centuries from
the over-indulgent Stein Age.
