Post 3. Where do white people come from?
As recently as 6000 years ago, a bit of “Neolithic chewing gum” was discovered in Denmark which some chemical-testing indicated came from a brown-skinned person with blue eyes; Europe seems to have been populated by people who were neither black nor white.
However, 5000 years ago, a race of milk-drinking horse people called “Yamnaya” entered Europe. The density of Yamnaya genes corresponds roughly to the propensity for blond hair; white people today are known for their unique ability to process milk. These Yamnaya seem to have been the first true whites.
The Yamnaya did some fussing about in India, contributing greatly to the genetic makeup of India’s upper noble-castes. This has given the Yamnaya the nickname “Aryans,” which means nobles in the traditional Indian language of Sanskrit.
The Yamnaya influence has given some high caste Indian politicians such as Rahul Gandhi a “white” appearance.
