[Y-Indology] Dr. S. Wells on early man in India

[Guest guest]

It might be of some interest to mention here that correlation of

genes with languages is looked at with great suspicion even

by 'secular' scholars in India.

In a recent article in 'Man and Environment', Shireen Ratnagar sees

the quest for identifying Aryan genes as a revival of racism, while

Romila Thapar dismisses genetic studies published so far as being

flawed because the sample size is too small and because genes cannot

be correlated with languages.
