But Underhill has (unwittingly?) admitted something else, or am I wrong? He has given a date of 10,000 years ago. So 10,000 years ago we already had the North-South diversity in appearance within India - as per how the west classifies our appearance anyway.
So what if we did not look the same then, because that's when the ice-ages last occurred, isn't it? Of course it would be colder up north and warmer down south, hence the trivial differences in appearance.
It's no longer 1500 BCE, but 8000 BCE. And that date is not even marking an Aryan Invasion as per Underhill's own statement, because all kinds of presentday Indian features were already in the subcontinent those 10,000 years ago.
Paul Kekai Manansala isn't an Indian missionary, is he? He's got a Christian name, and all Christians I know swear by the AIT. So has he jumped ship because the ship is sinking or is he an atheist? I agree with his statements (what I understand of them), but I can't help being wary of his intentions.
Anyway, thanks Dhu.
