Genetic data and linguistic evidence support Aryan migration theory from "summary" of Early Indians by Tony Joseph
The Aryan migration theory is supported by both genetic data and linguistic evidence. Genetic studies have shown a movement of people from Central Asia into the Indian subcontinent around 2000 BCE. This migration is believed to have brought Indo-European languages to the region. Linguistic evidence also supports this theory, as many words in Sanskrit and other Indo-European languages have similarities with languages spoken in Central Asia. The genetic data comes from analysis of ancient DNA samples taken from skeletons found in the Indian subcontinent. These samples show a genetic shift in the population around 2000 BCE, which coincides with the timing of the Aryan migration. The genetic data also suggests that the migrants mixed with the local...
