How old is civilization in India?
Around 7,000 years old if memory serves.

I believe 10,000+ years is more accurate, if the following is true:

Have you heard of this Byrd? This was almost 10 years ago, is there any news from this?

DNA gene pool?
I'm not sure if that can be well answered since national boundaries are political ones.

Any help you can offer filling in the gaps would be appreciated.
Here is a world map of genetic markers traced through time. What I am most interested in is the change that occured 10,000 years ago. If we look at the key we can see that 7 different genetic markers have been identified around 10,000 years ago. (+/-) 5,000 years but who's counting?
The end of the last ice age.
INWT - How many different races are identified in the bible?
Byrd
"race" is a political division... so it's hard to say. They would probably have seen the Egyptians and Palestinians as different races.
INWT - Genetic marker LLY22 - Aryans is the Aryan race which originated around K2 on the Tibetan Plateau
Next we have genetic marker M172 and M304 which seem to originate around Mecca (Where the holy meteor fell). The Abrahamic line then travels up through Israel, Greece and Italy as well as other regions around the mediteranean.
Next we have genetic marker M17 which travels to the area of Northern Iran.
Now let's look at Asia
Genetic marker M122 goes up through China while genetic marker M4 goes through Indo-China
Lastly we have South America
Genetic marker M3 goes through South America.
Aren't these basically the regions of the world where we find major civilizations and religions (+/-) 750 miles?
Byrd -
The Norse didn't really develop a "Civilization" (they had cheifdoms/thaneships but no great cities with a king over everything.
Byrd -
During what time period?
Byrd -
It's a stretch to call the Tlingit/Inuit a civilization (meaning place with large cities)) Ditto New Zealand -- again a nation of tribes.
Byrd -
Civilizations begin around India about 5,000 BC (which you don't mark)
Byrd -
In Egypt and Assyria/sumeria (north of the 10,000 year travel) they begin around 3,000-3500 BC
Olmecs (South America) around 1,000 BC
Romans and Greeks about 700 BC (before then they're mainly tribal)
Tibetan Empire doesn't begin until 700 AD.
INWT - Aren't the mythologies of the people basically similar?
Not even close.
Byrd -
These markers can come from slaves (who bred with masters or other people of a distant land (slave trade was very popular) -- and reflect a lineage of a family that bred with many others. That doesn't say a thing about their beliefs (and a slave certainly wouldn't be allowed to transmit beliefs or share their beliefs.)

I disagree that the large human grouping are sub-species. And I don't really care if people call them "races" or give those large groupings some other name.
However, I have to agree that pretending that those groupings don't exist is just disingenuous.
The characteristics attributed to subspecies generally have evolved as a result of geographical distribution or isolation.- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maybe building giant stone structures that aligned with the stars just wasn't thier choice of a worthwhile activity. Their mythologies align just fine.

Again I think this pertains more to your question about over what time period did these migrations occur.
I wonder what Joseph Campbell has to say on the matter.

Hmmm, something to consider.
Perhaps there are some who are held in bondage.

The genetic markers say where people moved but now how or who. Where'd the map come from that you showed? I'm not finding much on these markers and I'd like to read more.

INWT,
interesting thread so far.
Before i delve into this i have to ask . . . . what is the source of the graphic in the original post?
Hello,
My name is KVDP and I have been contributing to the Wikipedia since 2003. My particular focus is on environmental technology and climate change-related topics.
Note that I made 2 website, notably: kvdp.blogspot.com... and healingweb.blogspot.com...

The question was about great civilizations developing in the path, so ... no, no huge cities there. But the myths of the Norse really aren't that similar to the myths of the Hindus. We do see certain hero figures and certain stories traveling in those genetic lines (cultural transmission).

One has to ask how accurate are the facts and did someone prior put their spin on it.

we're on the same page then.
i'm going to guess at some point the map image was connected to a specific article on wiki.
(by the way, your last post linked to the image URL of the map and not an article.)
is there perhaps a deleted article on wiki that might have what we're looking for?
