Thanks to David Reich and others like him we know for a fact the invasion theory is true due to genetic evidence. Modern Europeans really are descended from asian warriors, the battle-axe culture[1] (or corded ware culture if you want it to sound boring), who exterminated the old indigenous Europeans about 4000 years ago.

Thank you for putting the record straight. All Europeans were descended from India/Asia, yet they fight Indian culture.

yea I am not debating aryan invasion theory( can of worms) only mentioning the fact that tribe being called 'aryan' doesn't imply they are mueller's 'aryans'. Sanskrit word arya has nothing to do with aryan invasion theory.

I read over that article, but where does it discuss extermination? I see statements like this: Professor Anthony suggests that the spread of Yamnaya culture may have been facilitated by a kind of protection racket, in which the Yamnaya warriors would offer settled communities protection from gang activity, in exchange for their vassalage. and Did this conquest take the form of a single, unstoppable wave? Certainly not. This was a process effected in a piecemeal fashion, over the course of millennia... The article mentions a massive influx into the gene pool but I would think this does not rule out, say, subjugation of an existing population and interbreeding.

  Yes, killing the men, or at least eliminating their mating opportunities, and raping the women. If there is an alternative hypothesis with greater explanatory power that fits the facts I’d love to hear it. How else could the indigenous y haplogroups dissappear altogether?

your comment appears to emphasize "invasion" .. resolution by war or by cultural means, is a charged topic; lets not start a war about that :p

  near total displacement of indigenous y chromosome lineages is a pretty strong signal
