Do Europeans carry Indian(India) DNA?

Question

I read that Europeans have some Indian ancestors. Who exactly are the Europeans descended from?

Answer 1

They could be...

Europeans are generally thought to have come from Cro-Magnon ancestors, who migrated into Europe 40,000 years ago, and are often Blood Type "O" (Hunter/Gatherer)...

Many Indians (Indo-Aryans) may have never migrated out of their original region, and have a predominant Blood Type of "B"...

Answer 2

No, the other way around.  

Some people in India carry the ARYAN blood (the Germanic "pure" european blood)

The Aryans (supposedly pure Europeans) dispersed soutwards to Iran and India as well as other nearby regions.

the idea of the Aryan blood evolved into anti-Semitic ideas and therefore into the n**i mentality, the persecution of Jews and the Holocaust.

"""Aryan is the name that an ancient people of Iran called themselves. Descendants of the Aryans include speakers of the Persian language and of Hindi, a language of India. About three thousand years ago, both Iranians and Indians used the name Aryan to mean their shared ancestors, as well as "nobles.""""

"""The theory that the Aryans first came from Europe became especially accepted in Germany. It was widely believed that the "Vedic Aryans" were the same people as the Goths, Vandals and other ancient Germanic peoples who brought the Western Roman Empire to an end. This idea was often mixed with anti-Semitic ideas.""""

Answer 3

It is believed that the population that spoke the base language from which all the Indo-European languages evolved, lived in the area around the Black Sea and that some populations went westwards into Europe and others went southwards and eastwards into India.

As for you other question, Replacement Theory argues that Modern Humans originated in Africa and spread out from there, replacing other preexisting hominid populations.

If you accept that the first place they would have gone is the Middle East, then you answer is yes.

If as I think, you mean are modern European descended from modern Middle Easterners, I'd say not for most Europeans, although there has been historical population movements and interbreeding amongst those populations so that some some will have Middle Eastern ancestry .

Answer 4

human race share 99.9% of genes ( HUMAN GENOME PROJECT )

I don't care whats in your rest 0.1% of genes

Answer 5

The Roma (Gypsies) in Europe are of Indian/Pakistani ancestry.

The rest of Europe is Indo European, but the ancestors of that branch of that family didn't come from India, more like the Black sea area. The original Indo Europeans came from the Black sea, across the North of the middle East into Pakistan.

Then they expanded South into India and across Pakistan, into Afghanistan, and North and West into Europe, and as far as China too. You still get the odd blond Mongolian as a result.

Answer 6

When you get right down to it, all people outside Africa are descended from Mid Easterners.

The Mid East was the embarkation point for all humans to places outside Afica, starting with the Homo erectus & later the sapiens that populated the World out side Africa.

Look about 2/3 way down on the link I gave you & it will show the various migrations & to where they went when they left the Mid East.
