According to current research, modern Europeans are the result of a mixture of three groups:
- Dark skinned, blue eyed hunter-gatherers (the earliest population)
- Light skinned, brown eyed farmers
- A group of North Eurasian related to modern Native Americans

Sure looks like Conan is hunting and gathering in that picture...
:yes:
Of course the Cimmerians in Howard's books were a northern race which doesn't quite fit with the article.
Conan is going to learn some farming too, sowing wild oats! ;)
Plowing, planting seeds, etc.
Conan generally had pretty good taste in broads.

Conan was lucky to live in a world of little clothing and shaved armpits and legs.

And overuse of the phrase "naked as Eve".
QuotePigmentation genes carried by the hunters and farmers showed that, while the dark hair, brown eyes and pale skin of the early farmer would look familiar to us, the hunter-gatherers would stand out if we saw them on a street today.

Interesting article. It's pretty interesting to figure how so many different kinds of people made up the European area, how they arrived there, how they mixed. Looks like this group was genetically bred out.
Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars - Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

Pretty sure you can find out if you google her.
Austrian archeologists have found tools ascribed to modern humans near Willendorf in a geological strata 43500 years old; this would be 2000 - 3500 years before previous estimates of the earliest arrival of modern man in Europe and also mean a cohabitation with the Neanderthals of an additional 2 millenia.
