[quote="kuruvikal"][quote]II. North & South Bharatiyas Share mtDNA, Which Is Distinct From That of Europeans
Extensive sequencing and statistical analysis of a part of mtDNA which has sustained mutations (the mitochondrial hypervariable region I, HVR I), [/quote]
normally dealing with
temporal ranges on the order of 35,000+ years ago -- the Hindutva groups begin publicly claiming that the paper provides "proof' that any
migrations of Indo-European speaking people ever occurred in S. Asia
(in early historical times).
These claims have become increasingly common since a paper by Kivisild et al. appeared on mitochondrial DNA in 1999, which first gave rise to such claims. (They even trotted this paper out at the California
hearings on Dec. 2.) The fact that the temporal error bars in Kivisild
et al. are longer than the distance that separates us from the
composers of the RV (!), making the data in the paper useless in
discussing historical rather than deep prehistorical events,
