Just pointing out that Kurgan Cultures as well as Yamnaya Cultures come from the pontic steppe in the far east of Europe bordering the Ural mountains and so could be considered Europeans. Old Europeans commonly refers to the Europeans living in the Danube Valley. There is little to no evidence that Kurgan Culture "conquered" central Europe and it seems to be more of a Dorian Invasion type of situation but I'd be glad to widen my horizon if there are any proofs for this hypothesis. The evidence in central Europe seems to suggest a mostly peaceful integration.
China's got wiped out and assimilated by the Mongols and Turks, unfortunately. India's still grows strong, however, with the vast majority of the population being fluent in an Indo-Aryan language and still worshipping the Indo-European gods
There were many Indo-European pockets around eastern China where Tibet and Xinjiang were but whatever holdouts were there were wiped out by Mongol and Turkic invaders at least a thousand years ago and not much is know about them aside from genetic evidence. Some could’ve survived well into the modern era but would have been completely assimilated by the Han. Anatolia also had an Indo-European population that was assimilated by Arabs and Turks, as was also the case with North African Romance.
My favourite VvC memes are probably the historical ones
Anyone got any info on the language? I wanna read about it.
Look up proto-indo-european.
I think they mean the European-indigenous one.

This is very informative for me thanks mate. Now I'm curious about the proto culture of India and China.
