Beaker People

The Beaker People were a stone age nation who lived in Europe between 2800 – 1900 BC. The term was coined by the famous archaeologist John Abercrombie who named them after his favourite muppet as he believed their language consisted of high pitched 'me-me-me-me' sounds.

The Beaker People's society was, like our own, marked by sharp divisions in wealth. As such, they were the only prehistoric people to develop a caste of sociologists who documented the growing wealth-gap and worried about relative poverty.

The Beaker people were responsible for many technological innovations including bronze and pottery but they were completely incapable of mastering third generation mobile phones.
