Re: Evoluation and History of Human Populations in South Asia

He asks for information. He gets the information he
asks for. He then asks for the same information again,
over and over again. He makes no attempt to understand
but rather to repeat dogma.
I'm not a linguist but I try to understand by reading
Wikipedia and links to Wikipedia. He should do the
same.
I know Wikipedia isn't perfect or even a true academic
source, but it's a start.
He should pay attention to various people's
interpretation and how these arrive at their
conclusions. When you and Arnaud bounce new ideas off
one another --instead of insulting one another-- and
others and other break in and offer solutions, we
progress through dialectical learning. I've seen both
of you accept new views after reflection.
His problem, I fear, is that he has no grasp of
philosophy or science --only the technocratical idea
that there is only unchanging truth and those to whom
he owes allegiance own that truth.
Such ideas are dangerous.
When you and I discuss politics and differ, we laugh.
When dogmatics differ, they hate. But eventually their
karma runs over their dogma,
