Dear Advaitins, The recent advances in Archaeogenetics have some interesting results for the Aryan invasion theory but are still in the early stages. Genetic study shows that Indian population as a whole has little similarity to other areas of supposed Indo-European settlement, indicating there was no mass settlement. Indian maternal DNA is generally similar right across the country indicating that the mass of population has been in place there for a long period. More recent results (Kivisild et al. 2003b; Cordeaux et al. 2003) show that the combined results from mtDNA, Y-chromosome and autosomal genes indicate that "Indian tribal and caste populations derive largely from the same genetic heritage of Pleistocene southern and western Asians and have received limited gene flow from external regions since the Holocene" (Cordeaux et al. 2003). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_migration#Genetics_and_Archaeogenetics The quoted scientific paper http://evolutsioon.ut.ee/publications/Kivisild2003b.pdf http://www.eva.mpg.de/genetics/pdf/Cordaux_et_al_2003.pdf http://evolutsioon.ut.ee/publications/Kivisild2003b.pdf http://www.dalitstan.org/journal/holocaust/oit/ved_ach.html http://www.dalitstan.org/holocaust/negation/zydenram.html http://www.tamilnation.org/heritage/agrawal.htm http://www.esamskriti.com/html/new_inside.asp?cat_name=history&cid=362&sid=59 http://www.vedanet.com/ With Love & OM!
