If you don't understand human genetics how do you know enough to understand the migrations of human Y DNA?
By following and find patterns in human genealogy, family tree etc. By following the migration of a lineage from a place of origin to a current location. Comparing it with other genealogies and again finding patterns. By studying human Y-DNA you can describe the movement of specific haplogroups from A to B. Patterns, it's all about the patterns!
That has nothing to do with Indo Europeans. It's like if 5,000 years from now there was a debate on where Islam began and someone said Europe because that's where the most advanced people were living in the 1500-2000's.
Lol, since when is Islam an advanced religion? Only such a backward place like Arabia could produce such a religion.
When you say test do you mean DNA? If so, there was one mtDNA sample taken from Maykop, last year, and that's it so far.
Well, culturally Maykop is linked to the Sumerians (Uruk) and Leyla-tepe
Goga, everything can't come from west Asia. I used to be very ethnocentric and I can see many of my old traits in you.
Also, you should not come to such big conclusions without being an academic and without a lot of evidence. I remember I used to make my conclusions before I even saw evidence then forced the evidence to favor my theory. It seems that's what you're doing. You should look at the evidence and let it speak for it self. Be ready to change your opinion as the evidence reveals it self.
Saying a certain haplogroup, language, or culture originated in a certain region doesn't make it superior in any way to another. I used to be 100% against anyone saying anything in Europe could possible come from west Asia, because I felt that somehow made Europe inferior. I feel you're the same way with west Asia as I was with Europe.
Instead of repeating the same west Asian-origin theory you should look over all the evidence and wait and simply discuss ideas instread of putting your whole-heart for one theory.
WIth ALL due respect, I'm not you and you're not me. We are both different individuals!
And yes,
not everything is from West Asia, but most of the things in Europe ARE actually from West Asia. Maykop culture was located in West Asia and influenced by Mesopotamian cultures, religion Christianity is from SouthWest Asia, agriculture, metallurgy, algebra, policy (politics) are from West Asia etc, etc. Some folks like it or not, Europe has always been a backyard of West Asia!
And you're missing the point completely. For me it doesn't have anything to do with superiority, but the truth, the reality. I know that a conception 'reality' is a human construction, think about ontology & epistemology. But some things you just can't change. You just can't deny the
place of origin of some cultures and races. No matter what some say, earth, land, people are material, they exist because you think you can 'touch' it. You CAN'T change your inner self if you change history just by words. You can only change presence if you have a time machine...
I don't care about superior-inferior nonsenses. There is no such thing as a superior 'culture', because there is always something better in other cultures. We humans witnessed many great civilizations. Not only in Europe or West Asia, but also in India and China. It's all about human perception. Many believe that thousands of years non-stop Chinese civilization is the most superior one to any other civilization!
It's not about me vs. the universe, but I do care about the truth and reality that truly existed! My parents gave me brains, so I do let my brains work for me and think...
