[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Dr. B.B. Lal claimed that the pottery used by the Megalithic people of South India was identical to the red-and-black pottery used the Nubians that he excavated in Africa. This led to hypothesis 2: if the people shared archaeological features, Africans and Dravidians probably shared culture features. This hypothesis was confirmed[/QUOTE]Nope - see prior post on confirmation fallacy. Your above statement confirms nothing beyound the existence of pottery which is found as far east as Japan at least as early if not earlier than in South India. [QUOTE] and led to hypothesis 3: the Dravidians and Africans should speak genetically related languages.[/QUOTE]That is a non-sequitur. Whatever is the case of the pottery would tell us nothing - in and of it itself - about language. [QUOTE] This hypothesis was also confirmed.[/QUOTE]Nope. You still confirmed nothing - for the all noise, you have said absolutely nothing other than that the Dravidians had pottery. So what? The neolithic Japanese had pottery too. Eventually almost all civilisations produced pottery - does it follow that they all speak AFrican languages? No. Does it follow that they are all descendant from Neolithic Africans? No. [QUOTE] This puts abundance of support behind the theory that Africans and Dravidians are related and the Dravidians originally came from Africa.[/QUOTE]Again no - absolutely no proof of anything has been offered in your reply - only overblown claims. [QUOTE]You claim genetic evidence does not support this relationship.[/QUOTE]Incorect. The correct statement is that geneticists and linguists correctly state that the evidence does not support your claims. [QUOTE] If this hypothesis is correct[/QUOTE]Burdan of proof fallacy. No hypothesis is offered here. Only the observation that your claims are utterly baseless. Unless and until you provide some - sound - basis for them - that is not a hypothesis - it is a fact. [QUOTE] you should be able to find supporting evidence for this theory.[/QUOTE]Again Burdan of Proof fallacy - your theory, your lack of evidence - your problem. You simply make ridiculous claims supported by no scholarhip, and ask us to 'DIS-prove' them. But you can't prove a negative - or disprove a nothing - and that is what your hypothesis amounts to - nothing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
