Didn’t Razib do some actual genetic work on this? Reddit boards are prone to a lot of fancy and fantasy.

In the first Image
The side Image of Indus Valley Civilization is Quite misleading.with 75% Ancient Iranian

The Ancient Iranian are Brown Hunter Gatherers very different from Modern Iranians (Aryans).

I think this is from a Cell Paper which I linked before. Indosauraus was dismissive because it did not fit his preconceived opinion that Indus Valley was Indo Aryan.

Just a clarification.
These are based on Ancient DNA. Long before Indian Muslims became a thing.
The Image Caption is totally false.

Thats why one need a reference

Off topic, but very topical

The Trump administration makes universities an offer they can’t refuse: screen out applicants who demonstrate “hostility to American values”—or else.

“Hostility to American culture” is code for hostility to Israel. As I said elsewhere this is the rationale for curtailing H-1B and other immigration restrictions. In the last decade or more new immigrants, specially brown ones have been Pro Palestinian.

Excerpts
And those are indistinguishable from Zionist values. We’ve already seen this show at other universities like Harvard, Columbia, and the City University of New York, which have cracked down on protests against genocide and have adopted more intense antisemitism training after Trump threats to their federal funding. And so they turn to the Anti-Defamation League and other Zionist organizations to try to explain away genocide.

One is a limit on foreign student enrollment, capped at 15 percent with no more than 5 percent from any given country. And the other is a strong preference, including tuition waivers in some cases, for students “pursuing hard science programs.” (Hard science students are not very politically active. Even in Sri Lanka Science Students rarely participated in Protests)
