Guest guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Einstein did not assume anything. He proved something in theory that was later confirmed by experiments. In the study being discussed, unscientifc historical views of Thapar and Ratnagar based on unscientific linguistic conjecture are being used as facts to interpret hard genetic data. If all IE speakers of South Asia show a genetic marker X and the Dravidians show a genetic marker Y, I will accept the AMT immediately. The haplogroup R1a1 that could link South Asia with Central Asia and Europe probably originated in South Asia giving credence to the OIT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R1a1_(Y-DNA) M.

Over a period of time it gathers near invincible/unput-downable logicality. Finally experimentations start. It leads to genesis/transpiration of proof over a period of time and finally validation follows which again takes another period of time ! > > What about Keynesian Theory and Historical theories ? > > Therefore, assumptions/theorisation must start-anon ? > > Those who theorise for the first time normally take the falk and are damned ? are brave hearts ?? > > Correct me please if i got my teachers all wrong (over the last quarter century) ? > > db > ========================================================= > - > mkelkar2003 > > Sunday, November 09, 2008 4:12 AM > Ethnic India: A genomic view > > > Science demands that one cannot assume what one wants to prove.
