[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [b] Here are answers to your questions.[/b] . 1. ''However, it is possible that European ethnic types were living in ancient Afghanistan or Central Asia, even Kashmir, where we do find some of these types even today.'' Leading to the question if there are ethnically similar types to European ethnic types in this region is there presence a result of these groups intermixing/hybridization with authentic European types (people)? (excluding the known European admixture in this region of which there is some. More in regards to speculated admixture such as Indo-European admixture. The Indo European-genetic admixture argument. That Indo-European speaking South Asians have Indo European admixture. Although the Kalash speak Indo-European but are said to have no European admixture. [b] Yes there were modern ethnic Europeans living in Central Asia. After 1000 BC, Europeans began to invade Western Europe. Greeks speaking Europeans rebelled against Persian rule. The Persians exiled Greeks to Afghanistan and Pakistan.[/b] 2. ''The evidence of the Tokharians suggests this. '' Does it? [b] No. Tokharians called themselves Kushana. The Kushana were not Indo-Europeans, they spoke Dravidian languages. During kushana rule, there were multiple ethnic groups living in Central Asia. As a result Tocharian was a Dravidian trade language https://www.academia.edu/8491572/Is_Tocharian_a_Dravidian_Trade_Language [/b] 3. ''But if the same ethnic types as the Europeans were present in Western China, Afghanistan or in northwest Iran, like the Fergana Valley (Sogdia), such a migration west would be possible, particularly given their familiarity with horses. In this case the commonality of Indo-European languages would not rest upon a common ethnicity with the interior Indo-Aryans but on a common ethnicity with peripheral Aryans on the northwest of India.'' Is this arguing these groups of people (Kashmiris, Afghanistan) have Tocharian admixture? Tocharians are said to be an Indo-European people. If so, is this correct? [b] The Indo-European languages are not based on a common ethnicity. The Indo-European languages are connected based on the relationship between the Greek language and Sanskrit, and Greek loan words in other European languages that agree with the Greek words in Sanskrit. The Greek words in Sanskrit, result from the Greek presence in Afghanistan-Pakistan when Panini wrote the grammar for Sanskrit, which was a lingua franca. The Greek language influenced other European languages when these Europeans were ruled by the Greeks, and the Roman use of Greek as a lingua franca when the Romans ruled many parts of Europe. See: Greek influence on Sanskrit, https://www.academia.edu/1898458/Greek_influence_on_Sanskrit [/b] 4.''Therefore, we need not stop short with reconstructing Scythian and Central Asian Aryan culture, we must take it into India itself, where other Vedic branches existed '' What are these other branches? [b] You are right people should stop trying to reconstruct an Aryan culture, because there never was a Aryan Culture.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
