....i dont understand what your saying people in India still speak the dozens of languages that they already had.
If our language is like their language (or has influences) then their language is like ours- (or has influences!) and i was just pointing out that as Europe was settled in first- it is likely that India derived from Europe and not vice versa.

Why would that make it wrong? Languages develop- some faster than others- especially those further away from the source.

Ok, I shouldn't have used that word. I meant that Europe was the first place nomads from Africa traveled to (pre-civilisation)- and this is generally accepted by historians- meaning India would be derived from Europe.

This isn't true. Skin pigmentation was a process that would have developed gradually over thousands of years. Albinos are born white- it is a freak condition and incredibly rare. A black albino is still genetically black for example, even though they look white- so your theory falls flat.

This has nothing to do with albinism. Just because you can find correlation between two sets of data doesn't mean there is a link.

Ever heard the joke on correlation statistics? There is correlation between a dcrease in pirates and an increase in global warming- CLEAR correlation! But that doesn't mean there's a link between the two
