there is increasing evidence that there was:
a) no 'aryan' invasion, rather the genetic trail (see bradshawfoundation.org) shows that the exodus was from india westwards circa 35000 BCE
b) more than one exodus from india, one of the latest was the roma migrating to europe around 500 CE
c) a lot of indian ideas migrating both westward (via bahrain etc) to europe and eastward (via malaya etc) that became part of their local culture
it is not at all surprising that indian mathematics was far ahead of the rest of the world, as the vedic fire altars of 3000 BCE and thereabouts are so precise and mathematical (as described in the sulbasutras. see subhash kak's work on the falcon-shaped fire altars of the rig veda period)

The journey map is quite weird. They cross into India after passing the deserts, but go to S. India, never coming to lush green Ganga plain. Second, if migration was from N to S America, how come horses were left behind. How come they crossed over to Australia but dogs were left behind? If flora and fauna in different regions could be evolved, why not humans?
Mind boggling snafus.
1. they may not have known there was the gangetic plain to the east. how would they? they had no maps.
2. they had been walking along the edge of the land including the arabian peninsula, which at the time was not a desert, but quite lush.
3. the indian west coast (malabar and konkan) is now extremely lush, and it is possible it was then too. why wouldn't the visitors just walk down the edge of the water.
4. i don't know about the dogs or the horses, and anyway i am not sure that makes any difference. for clarity, however, dingos in australia are descended from south indian dogs (although it happened much later, say 4000 years ago)
5. humans did evolve, that's how they mutated into whites and mongoloids
6. it is bradshawfoundation.com, oppenheimer's work
