Detailed explanation-1: -The most prominent of these groups spoke Indo-European languages and were called Aryans, or “noble people” in the Sanskrit language.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Proto-Indo-Europeans likely lived during the late Neolithic, or roughly the 4th millennium BC. Mainstream scholarship places them in the Pontic–Caspian steppe zone in Eurasia (present-day Ukraine and southern Russia).
Detailed explanation-3: -Scholars debate when exactly these massive migrations began-some say as early as 8000-5000 BCE, while others put it fairly late, after 3000 BCE-but it’s clear that by the third millennium (3000-2000 BCE) the Indo-Europeans were on the move.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Indo-Europeans were a people group originating in the plains of Eastern Europe, north of the Black and Caspian Seas in present day Ukraine and southern Russia. They are descendants of the Yamnaya culture.
