But I thought science had determined there was no “cohesive” group of “Aryan” peoples sharing a common culture/language?
Oops...guess these discoveries and the recent proving of the “Aryan Invasion Theory” through genetics forced mainstream science to change their stance...for the nth time.
Soft science is caught in a trap of its own making...namely, the curse of education. It seems that the more you think you know, the less you’re willing to admit you don’t know. Everything has to have an elaborate theory, an explanation, no matter how small the find. The large majority of social scientists have a hard time simply saying...we don’t know.
“I don’t know” - the response of an honest scholar.
Great point.
the only whites who get a pass on this are oddly...the Indians...curry, not Creek
i watched that rehashed who came to America first on NatGeo and they were about ready to do a circle jerk over Polynesians in Chile or even Baja or all those hilarious claims about Chinese junks from some 1700s map that was “copied”....they swear
and it made them cry to even admit the only proved (so far) pre Columbus was Erikson....sort of a footnote
i actually went on some sites about that topic...being curious by nature...sites all teeming with anti-white bigotry....they dismissed Clovis-Solutrean theories as white supremacy yet were ready to endorse Polynesian chicken bones and sweet taters as gospel..yo
i know some of yall here are really all over this stuff...blam, civ, cronos(still here?) but today..damn...how do ya weed thru all the crap
i’ll stick with my 1958 Britannica for now thanks..
More like an invasion and go to bed thing really.
Much of the variation you see in present day Indian populations AROSE AFTER the merger of the two populations ~ which took place over several thousand years.
What I don't think archaeologists support any more is the idea that a bunch of warlike Aryans rode in and conquered everybody ~ there's as much evidence that they rode in and found themselves incorporated as the lowest caste in many places.
Remember, until modern times India was not populated byond its carrying capacity. You could ride in build a town, and maybe never see another stranger in your life.
Medieval Europe was like that.
The greater part of human history involved small populations of desperate people barely able to support themselves.
