Tony Joseph’s “Early Indians”: An Appreciation
<p>Several reviewers have hailed Tony Joseph’s “Early Indians” (Juggernaut Books, December 2018), as an important book. It adds indisputable evidence from genetics, archaeology and linguistic data to prove that the Indus Valley civilisation gave physical structure to modern Indian society. In contrast, the Aryans put their stamp on their language and religion. He presents a concise story of the origins of early Indians with remarkable clarity.</p>
<p>Though archaeological evidence of human settlements in India dates back to 120,000 years, evidence from population genetics fixes the earliest date as 65,000 years. That is because the genetic evidence reveals only those humans who were successful in leaving behind a lineage that still exists.</p>
