[vedic-culture] DNA confirms Maori's Vedic roots

ONCE WE WERE BROTHERS

 

Some are of the opinion that the Maori originated in South America,

while others suggest that they are one of the lost tribes of Israel.

 

However, when we start looking at other indigenous peoples around the

world, along with suggested expeditions of discovery that are known to

be part of the Maori migration throughout the Pacific region especially, a

slightly stronger case begins to develop for the Maori originating in Northern

Asia, and more specifically, what is known as modern day India.

 

NEW EVIDENCE CONFIRMS THE INDIAN ORIGIN OF THE MAORI

 

Origins: "Genes link Maori to Asia" (From TVNZ Six o'clock Newscast)

 

Research by biological scientists at Victoria University

points to Maori ancestors originally migrating from North Asia

thousands of years ago.

 

The research team from the university's biology department has

just finished a detailed analysis of earlier studies of the

gene patterns of different ethnic groups.

 

They have found levels of a gene in Maori are similar to those

found in many Asian populations and bear a strong resemblance to the

gene patterns of indigenous groups such native Malays.

 

Steven Marshall from the research team says the work also

links Maori with a genetic group who migrated from North Asia

around 8,000 years ago.

 

He says this group filtered itself amongst islands in

Melanesia, West Polynesia over a period of time before a

smaller group travelled to New Zealand.

This is a brilliant finding. On the live newscast the reporter

mentioned that after examining mothers from all the major continents,

i.e. South America, Europe, Africa, and Northern Asia, as well as South

East Asia there were distinct similarities in the DNA found in the

Northern Asian countries that were totally absent in all the other

continents. In some cases where they did find similar DNA it was

realised that this DNA structure had developed secondary (through

possible inter breading), and not as a primary base through migratory

family lineages.

 

For some time theories were supported by some members of the Maori

peoples that their origins were possibly in the South Americas, or

possibly even in Europe. However, with today's findings, and the

support of conclusive DNA testing there is no doubt that our Vedic/Indian

theory as being true, and that the origin of the Maori peoples is

definitely the Northern Region of Asian mainland mass. Some

speculation is that the origins may be China or that region, but

cultural differences, genealogical differences, physical differences,

and psychological differences seem to discount this theory entirely. If

there are any traces in those regions, then we say that they are

not original, but secondary. These can be accounted by tribes passing through

the areas in question.

 

The strongest similarities are to be found when tracing back the

origins of tribes throughout the Northern Indian region. Many of the

tribes, like the anscestors of the modern day Punjabis, and those

of the Assamese, resemble the Maori features. While examining the basis

of the Maori and Vedic cultures, we find that philosophically and

culturally, many similar concepts and views between the two cultures

remain. Tracing back cultural links and the obvious distinct

similarities, brings us to the only logical and feasible conclusion,

that such origins were indeed in that tract of land that we now call

the Indian Subcontinent. In this regard, on examining the Maori

culture, and its origins we have found some truly amazing comparisons

in social structure, physiological (Indo-Aryan) appearance, and

standards of sacridity.

 

 

When, on the newscast, some local Maori were approached and asked about

their reaction to the findings, they were obviously not overtly phased.

They lightly joked as perhaps that is the reason why so many Indians were

still coming here. Dr. John Marshall

 

 

Dr. Marshall's article actually continues on in great length, pointing out many

more evidences confirming the Vedic root of Maori culture. Anyone interested can
