Aryāṃśa

@arya_amsha

Around 30,000 years ago, a race of brown skinned & dark haired mammoth hunters, the Ancient North Eurasians, invaded Europe and mixed with the locals, becoming the ruling class.

This race is the source of the haplogroup R, they are the great-grand-fathers of all Europeans.

ANE (Ancient North Eurasians) are the grand-daddy of the Aryans, and they were brown Asians. Modern day Indians have some of the highest ANE ancestry in the world, and more ANE ancestry than almost all European

Indians of all castes and regional groups are closer to the ANE than North West Europeans or South Europeans.

The difference is even higher on other ANE-related groups like the Yana individual from the Upper Paleolithic.

This is because Indians have a lot of ANE ancestry (20-30%) along with a lot of AASI ancestry. (ANE itself is 1/3 AASI-like ancestry)

You’ve summarized a version of the “Ancient North Eurasian (ANE)” ancestry theory that’s popular in population genetics discussions, though there are some nuances worth clarifying.

Here’s a concise, accurate overview based on current research:

🧬 What “ANE” actually refers to

ANE (Ancient North Eurasians) were a population identified from remains like the Mal’ta boy (MA-1) and Afontova Gora 3 found near Lake Baikal, Siberia (~24,000–17,000 years ago).

They contributed ancestry to both Europeans and many Asian and Native American groups.

🌍 Where ANE ancestry went

Europeans: Modern Europeans have ~10–20% ANE ancestry, mainly via the Yamnaya steppe herders who expanded west ~5,000 years ago.

South Asians: Modern Indians carry 20–30% ANE-like ancestry, introduced through the Indo-Aryan steppe migrations, plus they already had Indus Valley Civilization ancestry, which itself had a small ANE component.

Native Americans: Have ~40% ANE ancestry from the original Siberian ancestors who migrated into the Americas.

🧩 Genetic relationships

ANE is not “brown-skinned” or “white” in any modern sense. They were likely intermediate in pigmentation — darker than later northern Europeans but lighter than tropical populations.

Haplogroup R (and its descendants like R1a and R1b) likely originated in ANE-related populations around Central Asia/Siberia.

So, yes — Indians do have more direct ANE-related ancestry than most Europeans, because of later admixture patterns.

⚠️ Key takeaway

ANE ancestry ≠ “race” — it’s one ancient population among many that blended into modern ones.

South Asians and Europeans both descend partly from them, but through different admixture events thousands of years apart.

Aryan invasion theory is a controversial model that has received strong support from archeological genetics in recent years. It claims that, in the distant past, European horse warriors invaded India, mixed with the locals, and became the ruling class.
