Fantasy? Then how come genetics is now starting to confirm steppe ancestry in Indians?

the recent harvard preprint only had evidence for steppe women settling with indus men
this was not noted in the paper itself but only on twitter
you can imagine the ridiculousness of claims that women drove out dravidians and then installed a patriarchy
i hope they do publish cause it would mark the low point of western science future historians can point to as the beginning of the fall
in any case they have no evidence of steppe languages only inferences and we have strong evidence of sanskrit in india 3000 BC well before the fake aryan invasion claims of 1500 BC
