The big secret of history is that there was far more mixing between disparate cultures than is currently let on. There are many reasons that this is not widely accepted into the historical cannon, the main one being that some cultures most esteemed figures and events were catalyzed or can be completely attributed to another group of people/culture.
General examples being, some sea faring civilization A far in the past sailed 2000 miles, mixed with some other civilization B, which catalyzed notable events there, which are now attributed to that civilizations B greatness. In schools the children are taught of those events, but evidence supporting a root in civilization A is suppressed or even destroyed.

- singularity2001 5y agoThe beauty of your statement is that it will become more and more provable through fine grained DNA analysis. The history of Neolithic Europe has been determined by recent (<10 years) results of multiple waves (almost) repopulating the old hunter gatherer stocks. There may grow a new school of linguists who deeply incorporate these waves with layers of language. Interestingly the arrival of horses, chariots and advanced metallurgy in China did not leave much of an impression on the gene pool, at least not detected (detectable?) by current data/methods.
