An international group of scientists from 19 countries, including geneticists, anthropologists and archaeologists, conducted a large-scale study of the DNA of ancient people, the results of which were presented in the scientific journal Science.
After analyzing the genome of 524 ancient people, scientists have confirmed the hypothesis of migration of people who speak Indo-European languages to India from the steppe regions of Eurasia. Among the people inhabiting the territory of India several millennia ago, speakers of Indo-European languages were found.
The study says that the discovery of the ancient Aryans in northern India in the second half of the second millennium BC. speaks of the migration of ancient people from the steppe Eurasia (including Siberia).
Natives of their Siberian territories among the Indians have become the elite of society. It turned out that the Brahmins (representatives of the highest caste) have a greater proportion of the genes of Siberian settlers than in other groups of the population.
It is currently unknown what caused this migration. Independent researchers have two versions. One version is a sharp cold snap, and the other is the flooding of the northern territories. There is a hypothesis that there was once a continent on the territory of the Arctic Ocean, but it sank, and the population was forced to leave these places, moving in a southerly direction.
According to other historians, the migrants had well-developed astrology, alchemy, theurgy, so it is quite logical that these people became brahmanas (priests) in India. They also served as spiritual guides in higher caste families. If we take into account this information, then the statement of an international group of scientists about the migration of Aryans to the territory of India may well be justified.
