<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Since India appears to have been the earliest homeland for homo sapiens after a small band migrated from Africa, it would be logical to theorize that the Indus valley civilization was one of the earliest to originate, earlier than the Mesopotamian valley or the Egyptian Nile delta. And since the spread of the various 'races', European, Asian, Malayo-Polynesian genetically emerged from this Indian homeland, it is far more logical to consider an out-of-India migration theory to explain the extent of the Indo-European language family. This could also solve the Mitanni problem where the first decipherable documentation of Vedic Indian beliefs (Varuna, Mithra, Indra) appear in West Asian script in treaties between the Mitanni and the Egyptians. Even if the time-span under consideration is several tens of thousands of years, why postulate convoluted homelands in the Middle East or Anatolia or the Caucasus when the flow of humanity during those early migrations was genetically out of India? Even taking into consideration a spread of language and culture via farming would need to consider that agriculture probably first arose in the fertile Indus valley and spread from there as the glaciers melted and opened up new avenues for humanity's migration. However, the Eurocentric non-science-based (as in Witzel and Farmer and their ilk) stranglehold on the telling of early history to promote a European (and more reluctantly a Semitic) civilizational homeland must be exposed and given a decent scientific burial. <b>In the end it will be science that drives the retelling of mankind's migrations, and not the obsolete linguistic analysis of Aryan sympathizers or the backdoor nepotistic drivels of itinerate fellow-travelers.</b>

it is now accepted based on genetic analysis that a small band of humans crossed into the Arabian peninsula from the southern end of the Red Sea and took the southern shore route to India and eventually Australia. This was a fatal blow to the Eurocentric notion that humans first settled in the Middle East from North Africa and subsequently went to Europe and Asia. Recent work of Latvian, English and Indian geneticists further show that there was an expansion of population in the subcontinent before groups of humans migrated into SE Asia, China, and into the Pacific islands. A second group left in the opposite direction and eventually populated the Middle East and Europe. While Africa was humanity's homeland, the subcontinent appears to have been the homeland for all the other 'races'. If this finding had, conversely, substantiated a European homeland you could bet that it would have been highly publicized and Indologists and other Orientalists would be working up a lather overtime to drill this into benighted Hindoos to put them in their place. However, things being the way they are, and thanks to the Macauley/Marxist indoctrination that passes for education in the soft sciences, it will be several generations before the general public in India learn about these notions. After all, we don't want to give the Hindu chauvinists any fuel for their misguided notions of an ancient Indian civilization that may have sparked humanity's ascent from barbarism. Every one, but every one, knows that it was Alexander the Great who brought arts and sciences and mathematics and logic and philosophy to India!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
