>>26411I had idea that White population origined in the Middle East, Caucasus or Greater Iran in ~50 000 years ago and soon split into Europeans, Levantines, Caucasians and largely extinct North Eurasians (who were partly ancestors of American Indians, Europeans and Indoeuropean R1a is from them). I don't know about Veddoid Indians, but studies suggest they are closer to Whites than Asians or Aboriginals-Papuans.
