      Lactose tolerance came from indo-europeans, not indo-aryans or indo-iranians, those were later people's descended from indo europeans who owed their lactose tolerance to the yamnaya of the ukranian steppe.

      look, think like an anthropologist. We've discovered the Yamnaya were almost exclusively horse hunters who evolved into horse herders, the refuse pits from the areas they came together in seasonally are pretty definitive, both on their diet and the appearance of bridle and bit marks on horse corpses, so we know roughly when domestication happened (Google that research). We know from reconstructing ancient genomes (from teeth) that wherever they went, once they had chariots to crush any neolithics, from east to west across Europe, that the Y chromosomes changed in a generation when they moved west, but the X chromosomes remained the same, exactly like horse herds work. Both the language and culture also seemed to change in a generation, previous languages in Europe did not influence the Indo-European languages at all, which they would have if they coexisted for generations in any area, which points to the first generation after I E arrival not speaking their mother's language. So, how do you pull THAT off without enslaving the locals and cutting off a lot of tongues and balls, after killing off anyone over 20?!?
      That's certainly not how wolf genes spread, the females disperse for wolves, but that IS how horse genes spread, via young males leaving their home looking for other males to combat for their females. Duh, Indo Europeans adopted a patriarchal societal structure similar to how a horse herd works, one breeding male controls all breeding females, all sons must leave and find their own herd to conquer by killing the dominant male somewhere else, or kill their own father, something the Hittites had a real problem with. One note, the Hittites were famously kin slayers, their ruling class recorded a lot of fratricide and patricide, and whatever Fathers killing Sons is called, it goes with that societal structure, and also backs my thesis. After centuries of being interdependent with horses, it's not a stretch.
      This wolf thing is sheer speculation, the animist beliefs we know from native Americans that do revere wolves, bears, etc, were likely there millennia before they became specialist horse hunters, tho how the hell would we know, all we can do is take what we DO know about IE mythology, from the vedas, Greek and Roman sources, and the Eddas, and work back. Sleipnir sums up I E horse worship, Odin's mythical steed, but the only mythologized wolf we know in I-E Mythology is Fenrir, which contradicts any theorizing about I-E wolf worship, and the Legendary, not Mythological, tale of the founding of Rome, but that is easily dismissed. Where was a wet nurse when Rome's founders were born? No wet nurse points to a band of I-E males expanding around the already established Etruscans from the Alps to Rome, with few women and the horses out of season for lactating, which supports my line of reasoning. Personally, I think the actual wet nurse was a dog, but was switched to a wolf to glamorize it, or they captured a big wolf to get enough milk. And notice the wolf in question has NO magical properties, it's just a wild animal. Not strong evidence for wolf worship by Indo Europeans, just the opposite, so what IS the evidence FOR wolf worship?
      Personally, I think anyone trying to protect their herd of horses on the steppes, even before the herds were fully domesticated but after they became specialists in horse hunting, is NOT going to be a fan of wolves at all. That animist belief wouldn't last long once specialist herding of any ungulate started, imho. As a Historian and Anthropologist.

      It would be interesting to look into the word's
      like "Bela veverica" which is a white squirrel in Russian. How did they know a word for " veverica"? Russians migrated from the Balkans, where they could see brown squirrel When ice started to melt and running away from the invaders from the east which were trilled with civilisation along Danube river, ie. Vinca civilisation from 8500 to 3500 BC. The original people , in particular males disapeared in mass,so only 30% of them survived. They ran away ,some all the way to India , where they participated in development of Hindu valley civilization . They learned sanscrit and eventually returned home via Persia.
      Its modern technics used ,like DNA, C14, paleo linguistic, satellite images in UV and other frequencies , etc , which help us in interpreting our antient past. No doubts there were previous civilisations well developed before the big floods 11700 BC.
      For example ,studying old Hindu Vedas written in Sunscrit, they found a Planc constant exressed in figures that Planc calculated only in the 1920s. There are
      many other examples that aren't answered, which become more clear when we agree that we are not the smartest humans . It was and still is that human greediness and cruelties are prevailing.
      It's only humans that kill for pleasure .

    A very important correction.
    This is something which needs to be emphasized properly as it not only creates a lot of confusion among the people that lack a background in lingusics, it also gives them a room to question the whole concept of indo european language family.
    The concept of a thing called indo european language family is NOT based on the SIMILARITIES seen among the verius languges from india to europe but their SYSTEMATIC SOUND FOR SOUND MORPHEME FOR MORPHEME PHONE FOR PHONE REGULAT SYSTEMATIC AND PREDICTABLE CORRESPONDENCE
    its VERY VERY important to make the distinction between RANDOM SIMILARITIES and REGULAT SYSTEMATIC AND PREDICTABLE CORRESPONDENCE
    its not that latin, greek, english, Sanskrit, russian, Persian have some SIMILAR sounding words
    NO
    These languages have a REGULAT SYSTEMATIC AND PREDICTABLE CORRESPONDENCE that can be demonstrated SOUND FOR SOUND MORPHEME FOR MORPHEME
    All of this has to do with the fact that most people don't know the difference between a loanword and a cognate
    You can take any word from any language and fit it into any other language. Thats not what we are dealing with her.

    Russian "mat' " for "mother" you've mentioned was actually even closer to indo-european origin, as there are still words used which have a root "mater' ", like "materinsky".
    The same with daughter, which is today "doch", but we still say "docherniy" so obviously it was "docher' " some time ago and it's still traceable.

    24:14 It doesn't show that really. Archaeological evidence (in several distinct locales) shows that the earliest wheels come from old Neolithic Europe, central Europe (in Germany or an adjacent country before 3400 BC) prior to the influence of WSH on that region. It appears more likely that the Indo-Europeans learned about wheels from people to their West and then applied their own terminology to the technology. It is likely that Sredny Stog had wagons by that time too but we haven't found them. What we also know for sure is that the people using wagons in central Europe did not have horses and that Sredny Stog/Yamnaya were the first to ride horses. Maybe Sredny Stog had wagons (it seems likely) but we cannot say with any certainty that they invented them and didn't borrow them from the West. However we know that Central Europeans had wagons before Yamnaya existed

    Thank you. Very much appreciated. I am not an academic, and left school in England when I was aged 15. I am an elderly lady now.
    However, I was gifted in reading and writing, and learned far more after leaving school (through work and reading, discussing etc).
    Your video here has lined up with with conclusions I came to. I suspect the Scandinavians chiefly came from Khazaria and Anatolia, with some admix from other European tribes. You have also added to my knowledge, so my thank you is sincere.
    Subbed now.
    From my studies I saw that ancient Iranian and ancient Irish Celt were the most similar writing. I later read that academics had already noticed that.
    Of course though, SumARIA, Aryan (Iran). The later eventually became separate from the former, and my studies also showed how at least some of my pre Roman Briton tribes, Irish Celt, England settled Belgae and probably Pict, had emanated from the Fertile Crescent (probably Europe before that).
    I used a wall map and traced my tribes back. I wasn't able to establish a specific connection with Princess Scota (Akhenatens's daughter Merataten) or her large entourage when she travelled to Eire, to marry the King of Tara.
    However, there was extensive travelling even millenia ago, using the tides as well as sails and of course oars. Egyptians imported blue wode from Scotland. There is a painting of the god Happi covered in that type off blue, so he possibly used wode. He also covered himself in green.
    The Scandinavian Picts gradually came in via Iceland to the top of Scotland. However, some believe they also spent generations in the Fertile Crescent, and again prior to that originated from Europe. I read the Anatolians of the time were tall, fair and had blue and green eyes. Natural sand mummies, and their horses were found around Iran. Men, women and horses wearing armour.
    Maybe the same type of people as the people who became the natural mummies of the Tarim Basin. China prevented archaeologists continuing their work when it was found the remains and artefacts were much older than the Han. The CCP then proceeded to plant trees upon the rest of the remains, and because it is now desert they have to irrigate the area. Rather similarly as they have done with the ancient pyramids in what is now China.
    Of course, China was tiny millenia ago.

Unless, that is, the Uralic and Indio-Europeans were once one, or lived side by side for a very long time. It seems, however, that it is the Eastern (Satem) group of the IndoEuropeans (like Persian) that share the affinity with Uralic, not the Western (Kentum) group.

    If you’re searching for “Proto-IndoEuropean” language, the closest surviving remnant of it would be Armenian, although it is also a language that has highest number of words from Sumerian. In particular, pay attention to Hurrian civilisation and mythology; study the culture that built Portasar (aka Gyobekle Tepe). It was here on Armenian Plateau ( to the Southwest of Caucasus) that you’ll find oldest evidence of horseback riding, wheels, shoes, etc - in fact so old that they don’t comply with the mainstream historiography, and validate more of a Graham Hancock narrative.
    Linguistic archeology, or the fact that words in widely dispersed languages (English, French, Slavic, Greek, Armenian, Pharsi, Urdu, Hindi etc) are still so intimately related, compounded by striking similarities in narratives conveyed through indigenous mythologies (and not exogenous religions), suggest not only a common origin of this once closely knit small group of people, but also a very different history of mankind.

Furthermore, the Yamnayan language is seen to be closest to an Iranian language. The Yamnayan word for 'ask' is the same in Kurdish (an Iranic ethnicity) as 'prssk'.

      I am really not interested in europens Russians or Iranians or todays central asians and we are native dravidians and I know indian hindhu culture is unique it has nothing to do with Europeans but 11 years ago a Hollywood film director who won an Oscar award nomination for making a science fiction movie called 6th sense published a report after his gentical study on thiyyas that thiyyas are came from central asia near thian sha mountains and their ancestors are indo sythrians suddenly the Indian government blocked thiyyar Wikipedia pages so I also thought he is making a propaganda or it's because of his infiriority complex I also didn't believe him but then some books also published here saying that thiyya worshipping of theyyam and their ancestors worshipping is loosely connected with anciant greek religion with buddhisam mixed with hindhuism and in india it is only present in a small pocket of kerala called north malabar and some of them may came from there and thiyyas more than 1000 year old oral folk songs clearly says they came from an island some people sed it is greece and some people sed it Sri Lanka so when I checked Sri Lankan history they clearly says it that thiyyas are indo sythrians and they called thiyya as deva people and some of them also done toddy taping thiyyas heavily practised kalaripayattu and ayurveda too thiyyas are the one who developed and spread the kalaripayattu in kerala if you believe in records not folk storys and thiyyas are the only Indian hindhu warrior caste which formed 3 European colonial nations army regiments with its own caste name that prooves it's a warrior section and all royal armys in kerala before Indian indipence had thiyya chgavar soldiers in their force and when I searched I seen an english documentary which shows once anciant Greeks also practiced medisin with Marshal art skills and they havily an ancestor worshiping tribe and they moved to fight with royal force in greece and thiyyas also practice ayurveda with kalaripayattu and still doing ancestor worshiping also then recently last month an Indian government institution lab called center for cellular science and molecular biology in Hyderabad published a report that thiyyas ancestors came from central asia and today they have 5-15% anciant central asian geans and rest is 70 natives and others so I again searched the linguistics similaritys of the thiyyas with their ancestors worshipping theyyam folk songs it clearly says that thiyya meens 'divyan' or divine man and they spread from 8 divine families in north kerala and the linguistics steady also clearly leads to tian Sha mountain areas but still most people don't belive this government also band all wiki pages of thiyya caste and their history to localise history more deeper may be it's an hypothesis theory like indo aryan invation theory by whites to claim hindhu history and vedas like this many out side tribe came here and assimilated with locals and their culture if a greek person able to give an answer it would be much better and 100% all rivers and places in vedas are in indian subcontinent only aryan migration is a reality

      18:25 Rock art at 18:25 is not Indo-European too. The Altamira Cave paintings date back to at least 13,000 BC, so some 8,000 years before the appearance of the Yamnaya culture.

    Russian for mother is also “mater”. “Mat” is a later shortened version. Both are still used.

    • @frenchimp
      @frenchimp Год назад +1

      What you say is misleading. Russian for mother is мать. However мать is the nominative-accusative singular. The other cases have an extended radical матер-, for instance the nominative plural is ма́тери.
      The proto-slavic word is *mati. However it is true that the form *mater underlies part of the declension.

      Perhaps some of us are unaware that so called nonblack people have only been on the planet for six to ten thousand years according to science and the Americas have been populated for more than twenty thousand years and that Indians are the indigenous people of the Americas ie Black people according to science and the paintings on the walls of the structures throughout the Americas. What has been hidden from view by white surpremacist scholarship is the fact that a particular group of Black people called Israelites are responsible for everything associated with civilization throughout history wherever we find modernity. If you are not Black you are not a so-called Aztec. The Aztecs were and are Israelites ie Black people just like their cousins the so-called Inca and Maya and Olmec. How can we ascribe any advanced civilization to nonblack people when we know that a particular group of Black people seem to be the only people capable of inventing civilization and culture as can be seen in our day when we consider the fact that everyone copies cosplays and worships them and they copy NO ONE. This means that they are the originators of civilization and culture and that everyone else is pretending to be them.ie Black people.👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🌽🪶💜

      "The Horse, the Wheel, and Language:
      How Bronze-Age Riders From the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World" by
      Anthony, David W., more recent than Mallory. IMO, while more technical and academic than Mallory, has the advantage of incorporating the results of Soviet archaeology, in particular the discussion of Sintashta, an archeological site in the Urals, which goes a long way to filling in the gaps in our understanding of the Indo-European expansion into Iran and India 😀 😀😀
