Ugh. Look, Siglo, IE has no "history" of its own. "IE culture
and history" as in the cultures and histories of later peoples
who spoke IE languages -- ie. the attested record of the
IE language family. The "culture" of IE itself is pretty much
a meatless topic. Nonetheless, that's different yet again
from _genetics_. Where does it say "IE genetics"? So again,
Siglo, why are you obsessing over the trichal genetics of the
theorized speakers of a prehistoric language?? This is totally,
totally, totally off-topic.
