What DNA Says About Aryan Invasion Theory -2

[dhu]

The Paleolithic European haplogroups are G and I, very likely these populations supplemented their diet with marine fare and thus maintained their pigmentation. The newer Neolithic and post-Neolithic (including dairying) R1a1 and R1b inputs into Europe were very rapid dispersals from Asia (low STR diversity), yet the SNP phylogeny is quite clear about an S. Asian origin (R1/R2<P<MNOPS<K). Very likely, it was these post-glacial inputs from Asia, sheltered and possibly divorced from an appreciation of marine fare beginning in the Neolithic, that actuated the turn to albinoidism in Europe.
