You mean it doesn't work like Pokemon? My bio profs are in for a rude suprise if I ever go into a PhD program.

More aggravating than "you have bad opinions"?

I'm tempted to make you present your research because that'd be hilarious, but we'd probably get really off-topic if I did that. So, instead, I'm going to dig for helpful articles and perhaps suggest that we broaden the scope of this thread to be about ALL racial identitarianism since we could probably have some interesting conversations about things like Eurocentrism/Afrocentrism in archaeology and classics and whatnot.

I refuted one of your statements yesterday, though I suppose I didn't really refute an opinion.

it is not my fault you meatbags can't keep up :^)

The hatred is mutual, y*nkee.

So what percentage of your computerized brain consists of cat pictures?

While I remained skeptical of these new hypotheses, I had heard them discussed in online lectures and articles with increasing frequency and a close friend of mine, who specializes in the study of India and the MENA regions, gleefully bombarded me with even more articles on the subject. Well, it seems that Indo-European migrations, often of male individuals, did occur in India, but that the situation is pretty complicated, with numerous waves of migration and settlement occuring. You can read the study to get a bit more insight.

Anyway, I figured this might interest folks in this thread given how much time some white supremacists spend discussing Aryan ancestry and whatnot. I'll post one of my articles on Europe to deflate the notion that Euros are of pure, unsullied Aryan stock later since, surprise, genetic mixing was everywhere.

That's the gist of your argument... they look different, therefore they cannot assimilate.

Do you really believe this?

You're gonna hate me.

Also, Dr. Shinde's argument seems much weaker than I remember.

Thanks to the Cell paper released on September 5, we now know that the people of the Indus Valley had no Steppe DNA. They mainly had a mixture of Iranian-farmer-related DNA as well as some DNA from Ancient Ancestral South Indians.

A genome from the Indus Valley Civilization is from a population that is the largest source for South Asians. The population has no detectable ancestry from Steppe pastoralists or from Anatolian and Iranian farmers, suggesting farming in South Asia arose from local foragers rather than from large-scale migration from the West.

Our results not only provide evidence against an Iranian plateau origin for Indo-European languages in South Asia but also evidence for the theory that these languages spread from the Steppe.

However, Steppe pastoralist ancestry appeared in outlier individuals at BMAC sites by the turn of the second millennium BCE around the same time as it appeared on the southern Steppe. Using data from ancient individuals from the Swat Valley of northernmost South Asia, we show that Steppe ancestry then integrated further south in the first half of the second millennium BCE, contributing up to 30% of the ancestry of modern groups in South Asia.

The strong correlation between ASI ancestry and present-day Dravidian languages suggests that the ASI, which we have shown formed as groups with ancestry typical of the Indus Periphery Cline moved south and east after the decline of the IVC to mix with groups with more AASI ancestry, most likely spoke an early Dravidian language.

Our analysis of data from one individual from the IVC, in conjunction with 11 previously reported individuals from sites
in cultural contact with the IVC, demonstrates the existence of an ancestry gradient that was widespread in farmers to the northwest of peninsular India at the height of the IVC, that had little if any genetic contribution from Steppe pastoralists or western Iranian farmers or herders,and that had a primary impact on the ancestry of later South Asians.

This cline extended to the desert oases of Central Asia and was the primary source of ancestry in peoples of the Bronze Age Bactria Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC). This supports the idea that the archaeologically documented dispersal of domesticates was accompanied by the spread of people from multiple centers of domestication. The main population of the BMAC carried no ancestry from Steppe pastoralists and did not contribute substantially to later South Asians.

Yeah, this one right here.

The O.P. may also want to examine the correlation between race and intelligence, i.e. that a hierarchy of races exists with regard to intelligence (see attached).
