The Aryan Invasion Myth

[jonnymacbrown]

"there are no marked genetic differences among castes and most of the genetic similarities between Indians and Europeans trace back to the original expansion out of africa about 70K years ago"

There is really no incontrovertible genetic evidence that humans migrated out of Africa 70k years ago or even if they ever migrated out of Africa at all. The whole notion of human origins is very completely problematical, ethereal and most importantly; highly politicized. It's possible to interpret "genetic evidence" any which way to supports one's theory about the course of history. If we turned the whole thing around, and found that is was politically advantageous to do so, we could find a multitude of 'genetic evidence" that humans originated in Tierra del Fuego and migrated out of there some 100k years ago, and bye the way, there is much archeological evidence that humans were in South America 100k years ago which is rejected of course because it would throw the current accepted model out of whack and good Lord (a pun) might even give some credence to the crazy Creationists and we all know how dangerous those people are! jonny
