The new reports on prehistoric Scandinavians and on the prehistoric central and eastern European farmers show that older interpretations may actually the opposite of what had been believed.
On the other hand, the report on prehistoric India suggests that basic biological divisions go deep into prehistoric times: "Members of one ancient population share DNA patterns with modern Middle Easterners, central Asians and Europeans . . . [and] . . . the other population shows no strong connection to any modern mainland group," a division which some interpret as a prehistoric origin of "current caste and ethnic divisions" which predate the founding populations.
Have a look at the three short articles mentioned above.
If you want, also have a look at the materials on the class Scandinavia and India pages.
Questions:
What do you think about prehistorians drawing those sorts of conclusions from fossil and DNA evidence?
Why?
