Key Notes
Jiang identifies the Yamnaya as the people behind the Proto-Indo-Europeans and says DNA evidence shows dairy and lactose tolerance were central to their diet and bodies.
Jiang says the long debate over Proto-Indo-European spread has shifted from cultural diffusion toward violent conquest and genocide because recent DNA evidence shows many prior genes disappeared.
Jiang describes European ancestry before and after 3000 BCE as a shift from farmer and hunter-gatherer mixture to the arrival of Yamnaya genes.
Jiang says the once-mocked Gimbutas thesis has now been confirmed by DNA evidence.
