[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW, thanks for the link to the paper ABOUT the genetic study

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/drishtikone/2009/09/aryan-invasion-theory-myth-large-harvard-study/[/quote]

Well gee, if you wanted the actual article so bad, all you had to do was ask: https://genetics.med.harvard.edu/reich/Reich_Lab/Press_files/Fountain%20Ink%20-%20December%202013%20-%20Cover.pdf

Let's get quoting, because you [i]love[/i] doing that!  :D It's so much easier to just quote random folks without making your own arguments or bothering to refute other people's arguments, right?

[i]It’s hard to convert even the learned though there is increasing evidence that the Aryan invasions never took place. Most of it has come from archaeology and the hard sciences but it is only recently that historians have grudgingly started to accept the need to revise their accounts. The evidence comes from geology, hydrology, archaeology, remotely sensed data from satellite imagery, analysis of palaeo-waters, all of which call for rigour. Each study by itself may be inconclusive but if the conclusions are unimpeachable the cumulative evidence could provide a radically different picture.

Oh, did you catch the last sentence there?

[b]Each study by itself may be inconclusive but if the conclusions are unimpeachable the cumulative evidence could provide a radically different picture.

When did the migration take place? According to genetic testing (which I know you hate, I know I know, science is bad, science is the evil tool of Hindu fanatics), around 12,500 years ago.

[i]Metspalu summarises: “So the scenario at present seems to show that there were two populations colonising South Asia, one close to West Eurasian populations but not derived of them recently. These two populations lived in broad South Asia with little mixing for a long time before admixing quite abruptly relatively recently.” (If that ends up being confirmed, it would mean that both proponents and opponents of the Aryaninvasion/migration theories are in a sense simultaneously right and wrong—yes, foreigners entered an already inhabited India; but they did so so long ago that they might as well be thought of as original inhabitants too."[/i]
