Not much of it since it is Western tuning - so no need to hear much. Western logarithmic tuning is inherently limited. Sure you can do a lot with the limitations. So when I played piano - I studied an overview of all genres of music. Then I also played all other genres of music in other bands. Then I realized that Pythagorean tuning was the real truth. That was high school. So then - I played free jazz for a few years - as free improv with a street musician. But I was listening to nonwestern music mainly live. Then.... I researched the topic for my master's thesis. It's called "sound-current nondualism and music theory and radical ecology." That was still not the real truth.

voidisyinyang Posted July 11, 2017 Quote Y chromosomal lineages have a correlation with ethno-linguistic groups, but the correlation is imperfect. R1b and R1a seems correlated with Indo-European groups, but both these are found in high proportions in groups which are putatively mostly “pre-Indo-European” in origin (e.g., Basques, Sardinians, and South Indian tribals and non-Brahmin Dravidian speaking groups). https://gnxp.nofe.me/2017/06/24/indian/ emphasis in original. Quote We still don’t know who the antecedents for the Indo-Aryans were. Probably they were a compound of different steppe groups, and also other populations which were mixed in (by analogy, in Europe it is obvious now that there was some mixture with the local European farmers and hunter-gatherers as Europeans expanded their frontier westward; http://www.brownpundits.com/2017/06/20/indian-genetics-the-never-ending-argument/ Quote I am at this point somewhat fatigued by Indian population genetics. The real results are going to be ancient DNA, and I’m waiting on that. But people keep asking me about an article in Swarajya, Genetics Might Be Settling The Aryan Migration Debate, But Not How Left-Liberals Believ e. Quote Something happened 4-5,000 years ago. One could imagine simultaneous expansions in India and Central Asia/Eastern Europe. Or, one could imagine an expansion from a common ancestor around that time. The latter seems more parsimonious. Quote it is not clear what was the extent of East Asian ancestry in Central Asian populations prior to these events. Actually the historical and ancient DNA evidence both point to the fact that East Asian ancestry arrived in the last two thousand years. The spread of the first Gokturk Empire, and then the documented shift in the centuries around 1000 A.D. from Iranian to Turkic in what was Turan, signals the shift toward an East Asian genetic influx. Alexander the Great and other Greeks ventured into Central Asia. The people were described as Iranian looking (when Europeans encountered Turkic people like Khazars they did note their distinctive physical appearance). We have ancient DNA from the Altai, and those individuals initially seemed overwhelmingly West Eurasian. Now that we have Scythian ancient DNA we see that they mixed with East Asians only on the far east of their range. I'm quoting Rhazid Khan: Quote R1a is too widespread to be explained by a simple Indo-Aryan migration in my opinion. So Proto-Aryan takes a nose-dive.

Nungali Posted July 11, 2017 Aurobindo's Aryan person For Aurobindo, an "Aryan" was not a person who belonged to a particular race, but a person who "accepted a particular type of self-culture, of inward and outward practice, of ideality, of aspiration." woop woop woop ! I guess he wasnt some type of nationalist colonial racist Speaking of nationalist colonial racist .. I also recommend looking into something you dissed earlier ; the 'cast system ' http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/caste-system-created-by-british/story-0V783QPHGi5XzBB4yjdWuM.html The original concept was of specialized professions. ( note, not originally ;caste ' ) The four main professional guilds of priests and learned (athravan), nobles and warriors (rathestaran), farmers (vasteryosan), and artisans (hutokhshan), with members of each profession working in freedom and dignity. Farmers had their own land free from dispute. Also instituted was the tradition of the wearing the sacred thread or belt as an mark that the wearer had been initiated into the guilds (see (Sad-dar - 'Hundred Doors' chapter 10, and chapter 39.18-19, Dadestan-i Denig - 'Religious Decisions'). The Hindu Vedas list four similar professions called varnas (from var, to enclose, cf. Av. vara meaning enclosure): the priests and learned (brahman), nobles and warriors (khshtriya), merchants and farmers (vaishyas), labourers and artisans (sudra). Each varna has its own dharma or system and rules (also called laws) which included an initiation ceremony called the upanayana (meaning bringing within). The Hindu initiation ceremony like the Zoroastrian initiation ceremony is also called a thread ceremony. Hinduism calls the initiate a dvijas meaning twice born signifying that the initiate is "born again" into spiritual life. Zoroastrianism uses the term navjote meaning new life. The Hindu initiation is conducted during a person's teen or early adult years. The Zoroastrian age for initiation was the age or reason, deemed by tradition to be fifteen years of age. Significant in the separation of 'Indian' and 'Iranian' ( from a previous joining ) traditions , variations in this guild system( and other things ) suggest different approaches to society and governance . One was sexaul equality . The initiation ceremony in Hinduism is now limited to men of the first three castes, while the initiation ceremony in Zoroastrianism is available to all women and men. In Zoroastrianism, the initiation ceremony developed into an initiation into the faith and a coming-of-age ceremony for all Zoroastrians - rather than an initiation into a 'caste ' . Priest graduation ceremony . The Mobed (member of a family of hereditary priests) Soroushpur, current chairman of the Council of Zoroastrian Priests, has done research on ancient Zoroastrian documents and claimed to have found clear evidence of women clergy in ancient times before Muslim invasions.

voidisyinyang Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Nungali - you need to read the links I posted. The latest DNA analysis has caused a big upset in India. The caste system clearly shows white skin preference for the Brahmin caste. Aurobindo was Dravidian and the DNA evidence shows that West Asians have no South Indian affiliation. This means it is possible that South Indians indeed are mainly African - paleolithic - as many look African. But more likely it is that South Indians migrated from West Asia at a much older time period. So there is new "ancient" DNA analysis that will resolve that question. But in regards to the Aryan "invasion" of India - it mainly occurred around 1200 BCE and at that time a strict caste system with no inter marriage between castes was introduced. Also you apparently like the "Indo-European" or Indo-Aryan" or whatever "culture" - but just as "Arya" means Noble - it is in contrast to slaves. So this indicates a very hierarchical system using slavery - and nothing to be emulated. Edited July 11, 2017 by voidisyinyang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voidisyinyang Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Quote I do not know of a single unambiguous citation from the earliest of the Vedic scripture (which predates the oldest Avestan Gathas by half a millennium, give or take a century) that uses the term Arya for family or tribe – e.g. like the Rg Veda talks about the Bharatas, Pakhtas, Bhalanas etc. The term Arya is squarely used to define a linguistic culture and knowledge of or adherence to a specific canonical tradition, not as a tribal ethnonym. So one speaks and behaves like an Arya, if one’s educated in Sanskrit speech (vAk) and adheres to the orthodox Vedic ritual (vrata). ... Going by that definition, even the Persians and Greeks were non-Aryans for the Indians – and the Mahabharata epic (probably composed originally, as Jaya, sometime around 900 BCE, with later additions up to 3rd century BCE) says so very explicitly. It terms the pArasikAH (Persians), yavanAH (Ionians/Greeks), chInAH (Chinese) etc as barbarians irrespective of their skin-tone or “racial” classification. http://www.brownpundits.com/2017/06/23/on-the-aryan-debate-the-linguistics-pov/ So much for the Graeco-Aryan Hypothesis. haha. Proto-Aryan? Non-existent. Quote The idea of noble Aryan invaders of the hoary past who brought civilization to barbarians clearly resonated with the 20th century Fascist regimes* too, who imbibed a half-arsed notion of Aryan-ness ... the Iranian Pahlaviyan Shahdom along with the Third Reich, who changed the name of the country to Iran in the 1930s (from Old Persian Airiyanam-khshathra lit. dominion of the Aryans). and Quote Razib Khan says: June 24, 2017 at 1:42 am south indian brahmins are 3/4 like north indian brahmins and 1/4 like other south indians, in particular the non-dalit/tribals (i looked at their genes). Quote Regarding IA superstrate in Mitanni there’s very little linguistic evidence to conclude much – some IA names in treaties and words used in horse-training manuals. I believe the current understanding (e.g. Witzel) that Indo-Aryans formed the older vanguard of a general southward (both SE and SW) migration of IIr culture. What we now identify as “Iranic” came a little later – the oldest attested Iranian variety (Avestan, an Eastern dialect) lags Vedic Sanskrit by around 5 centuries. Further Vedic seems more conservative in its IE-ness (grammar, syntax) compared to Avestan. So a direct West->East migration of IIr speakers is fairly unlikely.

The Indo-Europeans merged with these earlier populations and these various genetic strands then merged into a distinctive Indian genetic complex, easily distinguishable from other major population groups, even as it displays (like all large populations, but even more pronounced in India because of a strong tradition of caste/Jati based endogamy in the last 2000 years) a good deal of internal structure. http://gnxp.nofe.me/ Quote , it does turn out that Hitler’s paternal lineage is not associated with the Indo-European migrations. That is, unlike me, Adolf Hitler does not descend from the All-father, but rather one of the men who were conquered and assimilated by the steppe pastoralists. But E1b1b is an interesting lineage. First, it is very common in much of Africa, especially the north. Second, it is common among the Natufian people according to Lazaridis et al.

I seem to remember some guy saying that early in the thread Quote The West Eurasian ancestry of the Uygurs is not overwhelmingly Northern European-like. Weirdly the graphs below suggest it is somewhat less Northern European than the West Eurasian ancestry contributing to the Hazara! Though that may be an artifact of some sort. The point is that as suggested by many scholars it seems highly likely that the Indo-European population of the Tarim basin was a composition, and that Tocharians and Indo-Iranians were both present. And, probably did not appear at the same time. https://www.unz.com/gnxp/indo-europeans-red-in-tooth-claw/ Quote It turns out that the earliest steppe dwellers were not particularly pale of mien going by their genetic architecture on pigmentation loci. My objection has no basis, because the modern European phenotype is very new, and likely post-dates the arrival of Indo-Europeans to India. Additionally, there is suggestive evidence of a steppe connection, such as the widespread presence of the “European” allele for lactase persistence in Northwest India. This allele is new, and swept up in frequency very recently. Its presence in Northwest India almost certainly indicates non-trivial demographic connections. Quote two quick points 1) the gods of the vedas are now minor gods, while the major gods in sanatana dharma were then marginal (e.g., vishnu). so you have a transformation of the pantheon. 2) devotionalism like vaishnavism on the populist level and the ascendency of advaita on the elite level transformed the substance of the vedic religion. one way to characterize it is that brahmanical religion was transformed by the challenge of sramanic movements like buddhism. an analogy might be the difference between the temple judaism of the sadducees and the jewish religion of the pharisees. some people go further and assert that much of puranic hinduism consists of the sublimation of indo-aryan religion into the religious substrate of pre-aryan india, with the eventual victor of the cultural-religious traditions of the latter. i think this is too neat a formulation, because i think there’s a fair amount of evidence that the indo-aryans were already substantially transmuted by the bacteria-margiana culture before they arrived in india…. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2012/02/the-race-question-are-bonobos-human/#.WWR6r1GQwqQ Quote We know that the Uyghur are a new population, which emerged in the past 2,000 years due to admixture between a resident West Eurasian population, and Turkic groups. We know this both through genetics (decay of linkage disequilibrium) and history. There is also a great deal of circumstantial evidence that the West Eurasian forebears of the Uyghurs, the Tocharians, were long distance migrants from the west. So who were the indigenes of the Tarim? It may be that due to the local ecology the center of Eurasia has long been relatively underpopulated in relation to the peripheries, with the emergence of new lifestyles (e.g., oasis agriculture, nomadism) resulting in the ethnogenesis of groups which arose recently to occupy the midway position between Europeans and East Asians. This does not mean that I believe that before 5,000 BC the gene flow between East Asia and Western Eurasia was zero. Rather, I think there are lots of data which imply that it was simply very low (the East Asian admixture among Tatars in Russia, and the West Eurasian admixture among Mongols, both show evidence of being relatively recent, due to the rise of horsemanship).

The discussion then turns to the Chinese millets, Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica, peaches (Amygdalus persica) and apricots (Armeniaca vulgaris), tracing their movement from the fifth millennium to the second millennium BC when the Panicum miliaceum reaches Europe and Setaria italica Northern India, with peaches and apricots present in Kashmir and Swat. Finally, the translocation of japonica rice from China to India that gave rise to indica rice is considered, possibly dating to the second millennium BC. The routes these crops travelled include those to the north via the Inner Asia Mountain Corridor, across Middle Asia, where there is good evidence for wheat, barley and the Chinese millets. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0959683616650268 http://dispatchesfromturtleisland.blogspot.com/2017/02/harappan-y-dna-leak.html More on the "rumors" - so if it is R2 - that would be very fascinating - Edited July 11, 2017 by voidisyinyang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Answers a lot of questions, doesn't it? Thanks Brian. More lines of thought to research. I'm sure I will find my true ancestry with all this help I'm getting.
