I'm neither of those three and I'm mostly interested in the neolithic so unfortunately I don't have a take on the second human migration out of Africa. Sorry
That was a cool read!!!!
He was checking to see if you were a Nazi after your comment about Aryans which is definitely not what the Nazis meant by it, being fully up their own ass with pseudoscience.
Funnily enough, being massive racists, the almost-correct work behind the initial Kurgan hypothesis was rejected in Europe in the 1880's in favor of pretending it came from Northern Europe for reasons that are obvious to people who know their history of "scientific" racism.
Even funnier, it would be research conducted in the Soviet Union (having access to all the steppes in the question about steppe tribes) that would form the backbone of the modern understanding.
Sorry then I'm mistaken. However modern Nazis, at least the Swedish ones, love going on about the Aryans and by saying Aryans, they mean the proto Indo Europeans. At least the ones in my country. They even made posters in the 90s with the typical horse chariots with text that says something similar to "your ancestors, the Aryans, conquered India and Europe" or something to that effect. I have limited knowledge of what the 1940s german Nazis thought so I trust what you say. However is it not true those OG Nazis at least connected the Aryans to proto Indo European and the actual historical Aryans of the hindu Vedas? In that case they still meant the proto Indo Europeans but were wrong about where they originated.
But don't worry I'm not a nazi. I have no belief that any ethnic origin is superior to another. I would even want to shame the proto Indo Europeans because they could not possibly have spread and conquered that far without insane amounts of rape and murder, which I don't condone.
