"Michel Danino reviewed nine genetic studies using large samples from 1999 to 2006 and conclusively found no evidence of invasion. ‘Just like the imaginary Aryan invasion or migration left no trace in Indian literature, in the archaeological and anthropological record, it is invisible at the genetic level…genetics is joining other disciplines in helping clean the cobwebs of colonial historiography. If some have a vested interest in patching together the said cobwebs, so they may keep cluttering our history textbooks, they are only delaying the inevitable.’"
