Dr. Whoever is not well versed on his/her history. To this date, no one has found one iota of evidence supporting the existence of Aryans as a distinct ethnic group. The work "Arya" comes from the root "Ar" meaning "to create with skill." The Latin "art" ultimately comes from the same root. The word "Arya" is an adjective meaning "noble," "kind," or "devoted." The extension of "Arya" to the "Aryans" and the birth of the Aryan Invasion Theory in order to explain the rich archaeological heritage of India was born of European racism. One cannot brutalize a population while admitting that their culture is richer and older. Therefore, the culture of that region had to come from somewhere else, and it had to have a European source. Dr. Whoever is half correct. The whole truth is that there is no evidence for a distinct ethnic race called the Aryans.
