Lactose tolerance came from indo-europeans, not indo-aryans or indo-iranians, those were later people's descended from indo europeans who owed their lactose tolerance to the yamnaya of the ukranian steppe.

Indo-Europeans are the scourge of the planet, coming from the European continent being originally white and having birthed Western civilization. They are objectively inferior race to the Asiatics i.e. Turkics, Mongolics, Tungusics, Koreanics, Japonics, Sino-Tibetans, Hmong-Miens, Kra-Dais, Austroasiatics and Austronesians having originated in East Asia and birthed the Eastern world. Europe is just a peninsula of Asia. There's not such thing as "Europe", it is a fake continent, fake identity, etc. It's all Asian btw. Whites/Westerners/Indo-Europeans are the sub-humans and no CIA or NATO bots can convince otherwise.
look, think like an anthropologist. We've discovered the Yamnaya were almost exclusively horse hunters who evolved into horse herders, the refuse pits from the areas they came together in seasonally are pretty definitive, both on their diet and the appearance of bridle and bit marks on horse corpses, so we know roughly when domestication happened (Google that research). We know from reconstructing ancient genomes (from teeth) that wherever they went, once they had chariots to crush any neolithics, from east to west across Europe, that the Y chromosomes changed in a generation when they moved west, but the X chromosomes remained the same, exactly like horse herds work. Both the language and culture also seemed to change in a generation, previous languages in Europe did not influence the Indo-European languages at all, which they would have if they coexisted for generations in any area, which points to the first generation after I E arrival not speaking their mother's language. So, how do you pull THAT off without enslaving the locals and cutting off a lot of tongues and balls, after killing off anyone over 20?!? That's certainly not how wolf genes spread, the females disperse for wolves, but that IS how horse genes spread, via young males leaving their home looking for other males to combat for their females. Duh, Indo Europeans adopted a patriarchal societal structure similar to how a horse herd works, one breeding male controls all breeding females, all sons must leave and find their own herd to conquer by killing the dominant male somewhere else, or kill their own father, something the Hittites had a real problem with. One note, the Hittites were famously kin slayers, their ruling class recorded a lot of fratricide and patricide, and whatever Fathers killing Sons is called, it goes with that societal structure, and also backs my thesis. After centuries of being interdependent with horses, it's not a stretch. This wolf thing is sheer speculation, the animist beliefs we know from native Americans that do revere wolves, bears, etc, were likely there millennia before they became specialist horse hunters, tho how the hell would we know, all we can do is take what we DO know about IE mythology, from the vedas, Greek and Roman sources, and the Eddas, and work back. Sleipnir sums up I E horse worship, Odin's mythical steed, but the only mythologized wolf we know in I-E Mythology is Fenrir, which contradicts any theorizing about I-E wolf worship, and the Legendary, not Mythological, tale of the founding of Rome, but that is easily dismissed. Where was a wet nurse when Rome's founders were born? No wet nurse points to a band of I-E males expanding around the already established Etruscans from the Alps to Rome, with few women and the horses out of season for lactating, which supports my line of reasoning. Personally, I think the actual wet nurse was a dog, but was switched to a wolf to glamorize it, or they captured a big wolf to get enough milk. And notice the wolf in question has NO magical properties, it's just a wild animal. Not strong evidence for wolf worship by Indo Europeans, just the opposite, so what IS the evidence FOR wolf worship? Personally, I think anyone trying to protect their herd of horses on the steppes, even before the herds were fully domesticated but after they became specialists in horse hunting, is NOT going to be a fan of wolves at all. That animist belief wouldn't last long once specialist herding of any ungulate started, imho. As a Historian and Anthropologist.

As an Iranian I appreciate you for this beautiful video and narration sir. I wish there weren't such political and religious conflicts which separate us apart. Besides for those who interested in mythology I recommend to read SHAHNAMEH by great poet FERDOUSI especially the first half of it. I think you will find much more culteral similarities.

I don't think we are as separated or different as our governments want us to be. Every Iranian I have ever met, or worked with, have been great people. I liked them very much, I think we can come together, despite whatever superficial differences that exist. The problem is a few people with too much power, who want to divide and conquer the world, and control everyone.
If religion had not been invented or was abolished, you would have had many more friends but I can be your friend because I know religion is all nonsense. I am highly intelligent and don't seek power over others. I am Welsh and Wales never had an empire.
My mother was born near Rezekne Latvija and my father was born in Kolkata India….I feel very lucky to have them as parents….and this video makes me feel connected to something that before I didn’t know existed…the Indo European roots.
3:00 - Lomonosov was born in a small village of Denisovka (Archangelgorod governorate), not in St Petersburgh although he died there. I am Slovakian living in Ireland, and we have a word for snow - 'sneh' . In Irish gaelic snow - 'sneachta' which I found very interesting.
Lomonosov was born in the village Mishaninskaya (now it is called Lomonosovo) near Kholmogory, Arkhangelsk region. But the most of his life he spent in St Petersburgh and he died there.

It would be interesting to look into the word's like "Bela veverica" which is a white squirrel in Russian. How did they know a word for " veverica"? Russians migrated from the Balkans, where they could see brown squirrel When ice started to melt and running away from the invaders from the east which were trilled with civilisation along Danube river, ie. Vinca civilisation from 8500 to 3500 BC. The original people , in particular males disapeared in mass,so only 30% of them survived. They ran away ,some all the way to India , where they participated in development of Hindu valley civilization . They learned sanscrit and eventually returned home via Persia. Its modern technics used ,like DNA, C14, paleo linguistic, satellite images in UV and other frequencies , etc , which help us in interpreting our antient past. No doubts there were previous civilisations well developed before the big floods 11700 BC. For example ,studying old Hindu Vedas written in Sunscrit, they found a Planc constant exressed in figures that Planc calculated only in the 1920s. There are many other examples that aren't answered, which become more clear when we agree that we are not the smartest humans . It was and still is that human greediness and cruelties are prevailing. It's only humans that kill for pleasure .
SNEG in Slovenian, Snjeg Croatian, CHER IN Serbian / in Cyrillic, Sneg in Latin alphabet, Snieg in Polish,.....most Slavic languages, Sanskrit ; zima / winter also Hima /Zima ,in Slovenian, Apparently Its Slovenian and Latvian that are most similar to Sanscrit. How and why, I'm not sure. Various different theories are circling around.
I'm Lebanese, and I'm happy to say I have about 30% Steppe ancestry. According to two genetic tests I did. This isn't surprising though, as we're a Mediterranean people. With additional geneflow from the Byzantine Empire. I love all things Indo-European. Thank you for this great presentation 🖤
You are aware the fact that Turks, as in the Ottoman Empire which ruled Levant for centuries, were steppe people, before they migrated to Anatolia, right? Newsflash, you are 30% Turkish.
@@SadaEKE Lol. No, we're not Turkish. But we do have ancient Caucasian DNA. If you look up the DNA of Lebanese people (aka Phoenicians) you'll see that it is mostly Canaanite, which is half Caucasian. The Ottomans that ruled over the Levant did not significantly change the gene pool.
Great video. One of your best! Thanks for including the latest Caucuses argument. So many posted pieces take a simplistic, sometimes political approach to Indo-European origins. Thank you for showing us the gradients without prejudice.

I'm Armenian, born in the Middle East and lived since childhood in Canada,,, I learned few languages at the same time,,, Armenian, Arabic, French, English and German,,, Studied Archeology,,, And I can connect at least 40 words from Armenian to different European languages, and most of those words are old initial words that humans would of ahd used to express the simplest and basic things in life, including the word Cart, Car which in Armeinan is Garc,,, Beautiful and amazing subject,,, And that proofs humans didn't care about race or color, and shared almost the same language,,,
@@omega2469 Hello, that armenian is an R1b language, is shorthand for, armenian language was founded by R1b speakers, therefore its akin to Latin, and celtic languages, more so than Iranian, or any other R1a language.
I ❤ the closing statements in this video! I 100% agree with them. That's why i feel deep sadness about the war in Donbas, Ukraine. The general area where it all began for us descendents of the proto-Indo-Europeans. We are in essence, distant family! No matter if you live in India, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Spain, Sweden, UK, Ireland, etc, etc. If you think of it, even people in Iceland, Greenland, Canada, USA, many South-American countries, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand have distant Indo-European ancestors. Our people went all over the world!
Yes.. it is terrible.. I hate to hat the traitors in my government have initiated a proxy war.. most Americans do not support this.. the idiot Marxists on the radical left who want communism do .. I digress.. We are all brothers and cousins.. us of Proto Indo European origins.. with that said.. no more brother wars.. we are a global minority and here we are agin slaughtering our own people… I hate it.
Yeah the European Americans, Australians, South Africans, Canadians etc are just as proto Indo European descended as your aforementioned nations. Some folks more some less depending on where in Europe their people came from but regardless. We’re all under that umbrella. And that is a wild thought that the conflict is taking place in The heart of where our tree sprung. Crazy. Hopefully peace prevails sooner rather than later. Cheers!

Russian "mat' " for "mother" you've mentioned was actually even closer to indo-european origin, as there are still words used which have a root "mater' ", like "materinsky". The same with daughter, which is today "doch", but we still say "docherniy" so obviously it was "docher' " some time ago and it's still traceable. It's always fascinating how similar most languages are.
There are many coincidences in Russian: sister - sestra brother - brat father - papa mother - mat water - voda snow - sneg door - dver and so on for hundreds of words.
Thanks for this in-depth overview using linguistics, archaeology and genetics to weave such a colorful picture or our European ancestry's tapestry. Yeah, Boser, I'm 80 and still drink milk every day, going thru a gallon in a week. Thank you Indo-European/Steppe herding cultures. And also thank you Sumerians for inventing BEER! Strangely I can digest it as well - but only 8 hours after indulging in milk.
The occasional mythic similarities between IE and Sumerian religion may encourage an identification of a PIE origin south of the Caucasus except for the fact that there are equally compelling similarities between IE and Turkic/Siberian religion which has its origin in East Siberia far beyond the furthest influences of any Middle Eastern culture.
Why would cultures beyond pontic steppe had caucasian or sumerian influence without genetic imprint is not adressed too, not mentioning how and why did their Caucasian language even arose. Whats more likely is they intermarried with closest neighbors which happend to be yamnya and had intercultural exchange as did pie in the west like with many of neolithic farmers which presumably their women fancied maintaining previous pottery technology.
I think that either the similarities must go back to an extremely ancient past, or because they are expressing metaphysical truths which ancient people had more limited ways to express, they end up being similar because they are expressing the same concepts.
I think we all can agree that we know nothing and the miraculous genius who never graduated college, Robert Sephre is correct about everything. Everything in all of history = Aryan. (SARCASM)
Perhaps some of us are unaware that ancient means Black people. According to science there were no nonblack people back further than six to ten thousand years ago. Meaning that so called nonblack people are not human and have no ADAMITE DNA and no natural origins. This might explain why they have stolen everything they have from a particular group of Black people and suffer from antiblack sentiment.
Fourty years ago there had been published a book in Germany - "The Shepherds who changed the World". One of my favourites. There's nothing to be changed up today.
A great video. I was born in South America and I am a descendant of Scottish, German, Dutch, African, American Indian and Chinese ancestors. I'm a mix of all these etnical groups and I feel very happy about it. A mix like mine or a mix of other etnical groups is not rare in my country Suriname, because of the variety of people who came to Suriname in one way or another during colonial times and even after.
To my mind, South-America is the living proof that race admixture brings about not just failed States but also failed societies. And it is a huge proof.
24:14 It doesn't show that really. Archaeological evidence (in several distinct locales) shows that the earliest wheels come from old Neolithic Europe, central Europe (in Germany or an adjacent country before 3400 BC) prior to the influence of WSH on that region. It appears more likely that the Indo-Europeans learned about wheels from people to their West and then applied their own terminology to the technology. It is likely that Sredny Stog had wagons by that time too but we haven't found them. What we also know for sure is that the people using wagons in central Europe did not have horses and that Sredny Stog/Yamnaya were the first to ride horses. Maybe Sredny Stog had wagons (it seems likely) but we cannot say with any certainty that they invented them and didn't borrow them from the West. However we know that Central Europeans had wagons before Yamnaya existed

A very important correction. This is something which needs to be emphasized properly as it not only creates a lot of confusion among the people that lack a background in lingusics, it also gives them a room to question the whole concept of indo european language family. The concept of a thing called indo european language family is NOT based on the SIMILARITIES seen among the verius languges from india to europe but their SYSTEMATIC SOUND FOR SOUND MORPHEME FOR MORPHEME PHONE FOR PHONE REGULAT SYSTEMATIC AND PREDICTABLE CORRESPONDENCE its VERY VERY important to make the distinction between RANDOM SIMILARITIES and REGULAT SYSTEMATIC AND PREDICTABLE CORRESPONDENCE its not that latin, greek, english, Sanskrit, russian, Persian have some SIMILAR sounding words NO These languages have a REGULAT SYSTEMATIC AND PREDICTABLE CORRESPONDENCE that can be demonstrated SOUND FOR SOUND MORPHEME FOR MORPHEME All of this has to do with the fact that most people don't know the difference between a loanword and a cognate You can take any word from any language and fit it into any other language. Thats not what we are dealing with her. Thats called a loan word. We are dealing with systematic sound for sound correspondence
My daughter recently took a DNA test that left us all scratching our heads in confusion. 55% of her genes are English and the rest are Portuguese, German, Kazak, Iranian, Indian, Japanese and Chinese. I can now tell her she is Indo European. BTW, I am Portuguese and 33 percent of her DNA is Portuguese. 😄 Edit. Looks like the trolls are out in force. Obviously you didn't finish school, so just to clarify, 88% of her DNA is English and Portuguese. Both colonial powers.. The rest in 1% and 2% is other DNA.

The Proto-Indo-Europeans were apparently a mixture of foragers from Caucasus and East Europe, and spread from the latter region to the rest of Europe and Asia. These historical migrations are responsible for the current distribution of Indo-European languages in Europe, European Russia, the Iranian cultural region, and the Indian subcontinent.

During the ice ages people could easily spread across the northern part of the planet. No wonder when the western expansion across American great plains humans were so successful and came across quickly it's all part of our human instincts and ancient history. Fascinating to think about.
This is the best explanation about proto Indo-Europeans that I've seen. Most don't really spend much time before the Yamnaya culture. Looking forward to others.

If you’re searching for “Proto-IndoEuropean” language, the closest surviving remnant of it would be Armenian, although it is also a language that has highest number of words from Sumerian. In particular, pay attention to Hurrian civilisation and mythology; study the culture that built Portasar (aka Gyobekle Tepe). It was here on Armenian Plateau ( to the Southwest of Caucasus) that you’ll find oldest evidence of horseback riding, wheels, shoes, etc - in fact so old that they don’t comply with the mainstream historiography, and validate more of a Graham Hancock narrative. Linguistic archeology, or the fact that words in widely dispersed languages (English, French, Slavic, Greek, Armenian, Pharsi, Urdu, Hindi etc) are still so intimately related, compounded by striking similarities in narratives conveyed through indigenous mythologies (and not exogenous religions), suggest not only a common origin of this once closely knit small group of people, but also a very different history of mankind. There’s something much more profound happening here, and we’re barely scratching the surface of it.
You have a very compelling hypothesis right here. I appreciate this comment as I do feel the same way about our conception of ancient history, there's something we're missing out there, something important.
@@RadioYui Thanks! After posting that comment I have discovered Matt LaCroix. He's described as a "fringe scientist", but frankly, as a scientist I can say that most interesting research usually happens at the fringes ;) In his recent interviews he has turned his attention to the findings around the Lake Van area - he calls it "the Ararat Civilization". It's worth listening to his recent interviews - he does make some very interesting connections that do shed light on the origins of Indo-Europeans.
Yamnaya/Proto Indo Europeans can be genetically modelled as Iran Neolithic although they're half Caucasus and Eastern European Hunter Gatherer. Furthermore, the Yamnayan language is seen to be closest to an Iranian language. The Yamnayan word for 'ask' is the same in Kurdish (an Iranic ethnicity) as 'prssk'. Proto Indo European is had a very complicated journey, but it really is rooted in the technological advancement and Caucasus-Iranian people spread into the North Western Caucasus by a Kura-Araxes offshoot or thereabouts.
History always forgets AMERICA. Native American INDIANS are called Indians because our language is Proto-Indo. >> There is nothing strange in the fact that much of the religious mythology of the Mexicans and Peruvians was undoubtedly of Asiatic origin. Both the Inca and Mayan civilizations, even their languages had much in common with our own, inherited from the same far eastern cradle of the race” Miles Poindexter - American ambassador to Peru. ~ "Ships that could cross the Indian Ocean were able to cross the Pacific too. Moreover, these ships were really larger and probably more sea-worthy than those of Columbus and Magellan." "Ships of size that carried Fahien from India to China (through stormy China water) were certainly capable of proceeding all the way to Mexico and Peru by crossing the Pacific. One thousand years before the birth of Columbus Indian ships were far superior to any made in Europe up to the 18th century." Dr. Robert Heine Geldern anthropologist. ~ “That primitive Aryan words and people came to America especially from Indo - Arya by the island chains of Polynesia. The very name of the boat in Mexico is “catamaran” a South Indian (Tamil ) word. After 30 years of research i can now claim to have proved my theory of Hindu colonization of America. The stones in every corner of America speak of Hindu influences “. Miles Poindexter - United States Ambassador. ~ "Of the cursory observations on the Hindus, which it would require volumes to expand and illustrate, this is the result, that they had an immemorial affinity with the old Persians, Ethiopians and Egyptians, the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Tuscans, the Scythians, or Goths, and Celts, the Chinese, Japanese, and Peruvians.” Indologist and Sanskritist Sir William Jones Asiatic Researches, Volume I
I find this a very good video. Thank you, sir. The appeal to avoid the discord of "purity" arguments was especially well worded. Well said, and well done.
I don’t think so, as an example I mention the tribe of the Elamites, which were included as Arya into the Achemenic Empire, but their language and culture can be trace back to Dravidian language
Very interesting video, drawing together a lot of isolated pieces of knowledge I have gained from here and there, over the years, and filling in a lot of gaps.
Remember who you are. Remember where you come from. From father to son for thousands of years, the same blood flows through your veins. Make your ancestors proud
If you really want to understand and be proud of your origins, you should trace your maternal ancestry. Only the mother passes down her pure mitochondrial DNA to her children. The nuclear DNA we all have comes from both our parents and is in fact altered (recombinant) and changes with each generation.
The prehistoric people of the Indo-Europeans was so far ahead of its time that it already wore clothing from the early Middle Ages 16:11. Indo-europeans also used advanced military equipment that no one else knew about at the time 15:09.
Although this is the best explanation of the history of indo Europeans I've seen so far, it contains so much comparison of competing theories, that i haven't walked away from my first viewing with a clear understanding of the ultimate conclusion. I think the ultimate winner ended up being a marginal theory that the steppe peoples were responsible for the spread of the language, but not the ultimate original source.
27:40 In Romania i used to grow up in a very flat area, the Bărăgan plains from southerstern part of the country, and there are such rounded "hills" present in many places. I have seen at least a few of them. There are stories around the locals that they like to share. They say that those rounded small hills are ancient burial sites, like many many years ago somebody was buried undernieth. But nobody seems to care too much about them and nobody seems to dig around to discover what is there. Just old stories for now.
Very informative and entertaining. The landscape and warrior photos in particular were stunningly beautiful; I could look at them all day. One nit to pick: the word 'Yamnaya' is pronounced with the accent on the FIRST syllable: YAM-na-ya.
We have been drilled with fake histories for the 2000 or so years. Now we are trying to find our ancestors which our kind had been buried hoping no body find out. Luckily, Mother Nature is bursting with evid3nce, let’s enjoy it now.
Hi, I found this video very interesting and informative. I noticed you didn't put your sources on the description, are they somewhere else? I would love to learn more about these subjects. Thank you
I have been fascinated by the Indo-Europeans for years, and it’s about time someone studies them!!! Most only know that they began to sweep Accross the Eastern areas of Erurasia all the way to the end of European areas!!!
Indo-Europeans are the scourge of the planet, coming from the European continent being originally white and having birthed Western civilization. They are objectively inferior race to the Asiatics i.e. Turkics, Mongolics, Tungusics, Koreanics, Japonics, Sino-Tibetans, Hmong-Miens, Kra-Dais, Austroasiatics and Austronesians having originated in East Asia and birthed the Eastern world. Europe is just a peninsula of Asia. There's not such thing as "Europe", it is a fake continent, fake identity, etc. It's all Asian btw. Whites/Westerners/Indo-Europeans are the sub-humans and no CIA or NATO bots can convince otherwise.
Like others here I feel like this video is completely up to date, cutting the edge and at the same time diplomatic. Really easy to follow and entertaining, I plan on sharing it with friends and family. I’m just a little curious, apart from perhaps a quick visual I didn’t hear any mention of Corded Ware back migration to the east, eventually forming a few different cultures and reaching South Asia. Did you feel it was mentioned in other videos already, or that there may of been other or earlier Yamnaya migrations that contributed to it? Not trying to be critical, I am a huge fan of your videos, just curious. Thank you
In Serbian, a tree is a DRVO, from there comes DRVID ie Druid,and as for the symbolism of the oak, it was a sacred tree among the Slavs. And as far as the origin of the language is concerned, Serbian today is the closest to Sanskrt (sanskRt not SanskrIt) of all living languages, not only in terms of the number of the same words, but also in the way the language itself is built.
Because We are the Sea (Yugo) People (Slave). Look at a Map of Haplogroup Y in Europe. Highest % is Norway etc and Balkan. We have the Same Name by the way.
Thank you. Very much appreciated. I am not an academic, and left school in England when I was aged 15. I am an elderly lady now. However, I was gifted in reading and writing, and learned far more after leaving school (through work and reading, discussing etc). Your video here has lined up with with conclusions I came to. I suspect the Scandinavians chiefly came from Khazaria and Anatolia, with some admix from other European tribes. You have also added to my knowledge, so my thank you is sincere. Subbed now. From my studies I saw that ancient Iranian and ancient Irish Celt were the most similar writing. I later read that academics had already noticed that. Of course though, SumARIA, Aryan (Iran). The later eventually became separate from the former, and my studies also showed how at least some of my pre Roman Briton tribes, Irish Celt, England settled Belgae and probably Pict, had emanated from the Fertile Crescent (probably Europe before that). I used a wall map and traced my tribes back. I wasn't able to establish a specific connection with Princess Scota (Akhenatens's daughter Merataten) or her large entourage when she travelled to Eire, to marry the King of Tara. However, there was extensive travelling even millenia ago, using the tides as well as sails and of course oars. Egyptians imported blue wode from Scotland. There is a painting of the god Happi covered in that type off blue, so he possibly used wode. He also covered himself in green. The Scandinavian Picts gradually came in via Iceland to the top of Scotland. However, some believe they also spent generations in the Fertile Crescent, and again prior to that originated from Europe. I read the Anatolians of the time were tall, fair and had blue and green eyes. Natural sand mummies, and their horses were found around Iran. Men, women and horses wearing armour. Maybe the same type of people as the people who became the natural mummies of the Tarim Basin. China prevented archaeologists continuing their work when it was found the remains and artefacts were much older than the Han. The CCP then proceeded to plant trees upon the rest of the remains, and because it is now desert they have to irrigate the area. Rather similarly as they have done with the ancient pyramids in what is now China. Of course, China was tiny millenia ago.

@@Kouroshyousefi is there a reason you have not replied on English? You can obviously read my language, so presumably you are being insulting but are too cowardly to make it clear.
Like all Indo-Europeans origins movies, you failed to explain the origins by excluding the elephant from the room: the cucuteni-tyrpilia culture. How do you what to explain the Indo-European origins by missing this important culture from around 5800-3800 bc? For example; check the ceramic art from this culture, see that is full of simbols which latter is found in all Indo-European nations, like in art, clothes etc.
Agreed. This video can hardly pretend, and I don't think it's trying, to be an academic work. It's more for general interest and the cumbaya ending really sends it into the hippie era!
This is fascinating. I only recently discovered this, I was never taught this in history class in school. Similar to how many religions have the same threads going through them in different forms, but with a common source, the idea that this was one people who spread out is intriguing. Thanks for the video!
This documentary clearly presents the idea of migration. The addition of DNA analysis provides excellent confirmation and correction to earlier assumptions based only on linguistics and physical culture. Evidence from multiple sources gives a much clearer understanding. I realize there is more to understand as research progresses, but these current conclusions are certainly better founded and, well, fascinating! Thank you!
European and Iranic people lost their religion to semitic religions which later colonized the new world, the only Indo-European religions that have survived are Indo-Aryan religions an they are in clash with muslims, which is kind of sad to think about it.
@@vasanthakumar526Zoroastrian is not lost in Iran. In fact it’s being revived at a unprecedented rate in the past 3 decades, especially among the younger generation.

@@jasonhaven7170, its more likely that some of R1Bs migated back and mixed with Africans or Africans received it via colonialism. Why dont have all blacks R1B ?
@@jasonhaven7170 , there is a theory that Berber tribes of North Africa or Sardinians from mediteranen sea who were Indo-European Caucasians migrated in sub-saharan countries and mixed with blacks. Nobody knows if its 100% true. But it would make more sense than blacks being the first with R1B genes. R1B comes from a cousin population to Yamnaya: Corded Ware culture or forest step population. Both were non black. R1B is relatively close related to R1A. And as mentioned prior: Not all sub saharans have R1B.
Very well made. I have had great interest in the Indo-Aryan/European peoples and history, and this video does a great job outlining the various migrations and origins of this common group.
@@woodspirit98in the 19th & 20th century the Indo-Europeans were referred to as Aryans, a lot of people still use the term interchangeably even though linguistics doesn’t agree
the word for an axe in Finnish (a Uralic language) is "tappara" while in Persian (an Indo-European, Iranic language) is "tabar." (And two fellows here just wrote that it is "topor" in Polish and Bulgarian) Amazing that such a BASIC life gadget has the same name in these two, far-apart languages. Unless, that is, the Uralic and Indio-Europeans were once one, or lived side by side for a very long time. It seems, however, that it is the Eastern (Satem) group of the IndoEuropeans (like Persian) that share the affinity with Uralic, not the Western (Kentum) group. (the root name for axe in the Western (Kentum) group is that which gives us the name "axe" in English)
As a layman, I always thought that they put all the languages in the Uralic group that didn't fit into the Indo-European group, so we didn't feel left out 😊
The Proto-Finno-Ugric peoples and the Proto-Indo-Europeans did live fairly close but that doesn’t mean it’s why those two words in Farsi and Finnish are similar. False cognates exist across plenty of languages. The Japanese word “namae” and the English “name” have near-identical meanings but in no way does that mean there was a “Proto-Indo-Euro-Japonic” ancestral language.
@@TWOCOWS1 “Farsi” is literally a proper noun in the English dictionary, bro. But I like how you try to go grammar Nazi to hide the fact that your position is invalid. Nowhere did I say all similar words between languages are coincidences-that’s a terrible strawman if that’s what you’re insinuating-I just said that the ones that are clearly coincidences… are coincidences.
@@TWOCOWS1 Again, note how you’re desperately trying to continue whining about the most nitpicky small detail about the popularity of proper nouns (“Farsi” is still used more often in language circles than “Deutsch”, though; even my auto-correct tried to change “Deutsch” but not “Farsi”), because you have no rebuttal against the false cognates that you’re trying to insinuate are not false. “By YoUr LoGiC aLl SiMiLaR wOrDs ArE uNrElAtEd HURR-DURRRR…” I don’t know if you think your distraction tactic is subtle, but I can tell you it’s definitely not 😆 EDIT: I now notice you removed the part where you bitch about how “Deutsch” is in the English dictionary, too (what, because you realized even that was false?), so now you _truly_ have nothing valuable to say except insults lmaoooo
Yes😂😂😂😂😂 doesn't fit their idea, Iranian herders moving into India, taking over parts of the old Dravidian civilisation, moving into the Ganges delta to then make up new elements and gods worth worshipping, moving away from Indra, Agni, Mitra and Varuna of the Vedas to Ganesh, Siva, Vishnu. Most people for some reason are frightened to know they share a very deep blood and linguistic bond to neighbours and far away tribes that have changed their cultures, religions, languages 😅❤
@@kailasac6532 so, you are saying before Aryan invasions of India . Indians already living here were Vedic people? Because Indra is a Vedic god . Indra's mention is found in Iran on stone tablets .
I've no idea why I haven't subscribed before, because your videos are always excellent, but I have now. Many thanx for your informative & thought provoking videos.
If only the used pictures were as ‘ authentic ‘ as the story itself ( for example using a conestoga wagon as an example how early PIE lived on the steppes )
Albanians are the most connected to proto indo europeans. Recent archaleological digging has revealed 8000 year old villages of farmers and buildings, and a recent study on linguistics proved that the albanian language is at least 7500 years old. As a german historian and linguist said, until they wont take account of Albanian history, the history of the world will never be complete.
It' s interesting that Pliny the Elder explained the word "Druid" the ancient Celtic priest as connected to the old Greek as "oak tree" it can be also connected with Albanian word "Dru" that is translated in English "Wood".
There is a word in sanskrt "drudkh" meaning "wood". In my native slovak wood is "drevo", but in our local dialect a piece of wood is called "drúk". It seems literally the same.
@@gregdandoulakis6667every second word in Albanian is from Greek, Serbian or some other europian language. Albanian word for 🐢 is breshkë ( breshk- breg), and this word is directly connected with serbian( slavic) word BREg (hill), becouse turrtel looks as hill that is moving.
There were people , not savages living in peace and high culture,cities with 30 + thousand inhibitants.,in Europe before the Step people.They brought to Europe what appart from weapons made from stone.This was the edge.
It's 100% genetically mediated and the expansion of the indo European languages and culture into Great Britain for example was accompanied by 90% genetic replacement by the Bell Beaker people. Sorry to break the news to you but all of this can be proven via FST genetic distance, PCA charts, and haplogroup tracking
Good linguists have studied several languages, are fluent in several languages and for indo-european linguistics the study of Sanskrit and Greek are a must. How many European and American linguists are serious students of Sanskrit? Even fewer know both Greek and Sanskrit...
Agreed...there are many similar words in German and Sanskrit ... Sanskrit is taught in German universities. Even Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler recognized common ancestry. Obviously their ideology was stupid, but even they understood this
The story and content of This video is summarized Iranian culture and reflects has a huge similarities in other cultures from Greeks to Indian , Caucasus and later to Arabs and turks . At the end we are all the same people which makes this wonderful world to be more fascinating.
@@mimirotatito786 But race is a bogus concept that aims to establish cultural superiority. In reality, there is no such thing as "race" in the sense you mean it. The only "race" is the human race.
I am really not interested in europens Russians or Iranians or todays central asians and we are native dravidians and I know indian hindhu culture is unique it has nothing to do with Europeans but 11 years ago a Hollywood film director who won an Oscar award nomination for making a science fiction movie called 6th sense published a report after his gentical study on thiyyas that thiyyas are came from central asia near thian sha mountains and their ancestors are indo sythrians suddenly the Indian government blocked thiyyar Wikipedia pages so I also thought he is making a propaganda or it's because of his infiriority complex I also didn't believe him but then some books also published here saying that thiyya worshipping of theyyam and their ancestors worshipping is loosely connected with anciant greek religion with buddhisam mixed with hindhuism and in india it is only present in a small pocket of kerala called north malabar and some of them may came from there and thiyyas more than 1000 year old oral folk songs clearly says they came from an island some people sed it is greece and some people sed it Sri Lanka so when I checked Sri Lankan history they clearly says it that thiyyas are indo sythrians and they called thiyya as deva people and some of them also done toddy taping thiyyas heavily practised kalaripayattu and ayurveda too thiyyas are the one who developed and spread the kalaripayattu in kerala if you believe in records not folk storys and thiyyas are the only Indian hindhu warrior caste which formed 3 European colonial nations army regiments with its own caste name that prooves it's a warrior section and all royal armys in kerala before Indian indipence had thiyya chgavar soldiers in their force and when I searched I seen an english documentary which shows once anciant Greeks also practiced medisin with Marshal art skills and they havily an ancestor worshiping tribe and they moved to fight with royal force in greece and thiyyas also practice ayurveda with kalaripayattu and still doing ancestor worshiping also then recently last month an Indian government institution lab called center for cellular science and molecular biology in Hyderabad published a report that thiyyas ancestors came from central asia and today they have 5-15% anciant central asian geans and rest is 70 natives and others so I again searched the linguistics similaritys of the thiyyas with their ancestors worshipping theyyam folk songs it clearly says that thiyya meens 'divyan' or divine man and they spread from 8 divine families in north kerala and the linguistics steady also clearly leads to tian Sha mountain areas but still most people don't belive this government also band all wiki pages of thiyya caste and their history to localise history more deeper may be it's an hypothesis theory like indo aryan invation theory by whites to claim hindhu history and vedas like this many out side tribe came here and assimilated with locals and their culture if a greek person able to give an answer it would be much better and 100% all rivers and places in vedas are in indian subcontinent only aryan migration is a reality
Additionally it seems that the Nazis were very much inspired by the idea of a universal mother language they referred to as the "Aryan" language. Accepting the hypothesis is kind of like saying that the Nazis were on to something.
Nice! I've been tryna wrap my head around a small community spreading through an entire continent. What made them so unique? Why did they make technological breakthroughs before others (who perhaps wouldn't have for a long time, without contact with them)? Etc, etc. So many questions. A fascinating, obscured topic (due to politics, mostly, but also due to historians and archaeologists loving to stick with what they know... ie, outdated textbooks), yet a crucial topic, as it seems to be the cornerstone of pretty much our entire global civilization.
@@dracodistortion9447 well, yeah, but that just brings us back to my other question: how did they, and not others, developed such technological prowess? They spread everywhere because everywhere they went, they could conquer or assimilate.
I can understand how the people of the steppe developed a horse culture but without trees I cannot figure out how they developed the wheel and the wagon/house to put on top.
SO thousands of years ago someone jumped on the back of horse until then used for food and other stuff BUT he rode it, felt the wind in their hair, jumped it and spread their culture vastly. WHOA, no helmets, no mom, no supervision.
This was probably the same type of person who first dared to grab a cow or goat's utter...imagine looking at those horns and hooves before you went for that. Brother probably thought "Better you than me."
my husband grew up in hills of south central mexico. his maternal grandma always told them "we are aztec". every waking morning of his life there was to the sight and sound of his mother grinding on the metate, EXACTLY the same as the grinding stone you showed.
1.5 million people still continue to speak some form of Nahuatl in Mexico & El Salvador, making it one of the most widely spoken aboriginal languages in the Americas.
The grinding stone example is not specifically like the kind Proto-Indo-Europeans would have used, but just what I had video for. The idea is the same however. Great to hear stories like this
Perhaps some of us are unaware that so called nonblack people have only been on the planet for six to ten thousand years according to science and the Americas have been populated for more than twenty thousand years and that Indians are the indigenous people of the Americas ie Black people according to science and the paintings on the walls of the structures throughout the Americas. What has been hidden from view by white surpremacist scholarship is the fact that a particular group of Black people called Israelites are responsible for everything associated with civilization throughout history wherever we find modernity. If you are not Black you are not a so-called Aztec. The Aztecs were and are Israelites ie Black people just like their cousins the so-called Inca and Maya and Olmec. How can we ascribe any advanced civilization to nonblack people when we know that a particular group of Black people seem to be the only people capable of inventing civilization and culture as can be seen in our day when we consider the fact that everyone copies cosplays and worships them and they copy NO ONE. This means that they are the originators of civilization and culture and that everyone else is pretending to be them.ie Black people.👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🌽🪶💜
One thing I find a little confusing, but why would a population or culture want to bring back and breed with another culture that they see as weaker? In theory, wouldn’t that make themselves a weaker population?
This is the most fascinating video about Indo-European languages, cultures and migrations I have seen so far. You managed to bring together and summarize so much precious information. It must be watched and rewatched several times for the picture to gradually emerge from the fog & haze of times past. Cheers from France (teaching a linguistics course, I will recommend this to my students).
Or they just left getting sick of the old People in control, kind of like today. I mean, how would the Elders Expel them??? LOL. in a Time with Knifes and Speers. In a True Survival Situation you first get rid of the old, who can´t have kids.
Back when the dinosaurs walked? Yes Ireland and India are genetically and linguistically and mythologically related but the age of dinosaurs isn’t related at all
