Dear Dr.Karp

 

I pointed this out in Tamil language where just the mention

of the word "dravidian" with 10,000 years (or 50,000) gives

transports of delights, without any critical analysis of what the

words mean.

 

 

What the researchers have in mind is that certain DNA strain called

M190Y was found in the extreme south India with antecedents of more

than 20,000 years. This particulat DNA they call "dravidian" - you

can make of it anything.
