One thing I've always wondered about is that if various races invaded India and nothing went out from India, then why must their concentration reflect more or less the geographical distribution of races in the world. In the north and north-west you have more caucasian features. In the east you have mongoloid characteristics and in the south more African features. India has a small geographical area and the population should have become homogeneous by now which it has not. Maybe some of the differentiation occurred in India and the differentiated races then moved out radially.
