Over at my other weblog, genetics post some readers might have an interest in. I think in the near future I’ll be talking more about the genetics of Southeast Asians and how they were influenced by Indians. Long story short: there’s a significant Indian genetic impact in many areas of Southeast Asia that can’t be ascribed to colonialism. Rather, the spread of Indian culture in the region was probably catalyzed by Indians….
I would not call Pala dynasty as “paramount hegemonic power”.
Razib,
Join genica, we’ve been doing a lot of modelling lately using Davidskis G25 to understand ancestral components in frontier regions and would appreciate your input
