Some notes concerning the recent report of a pre-Neolithic young forager woman from Leang Panninge, South Sulawesi. Unfortunately, due to magazine fever many molecular paleoanthropology papers while presenting important specimens are shitilly written&illustrated. So we have to
wade through some of that to get points of interest:
1. The ancestral Asian split up into several far ranging groups by at least 50ky: i. The Tianyuan man-like Eastern group. ii Onge-Hòabìnhian group extending from at least at least the Andamans through Laos, Vietnam& Malayasia
iii. An early-diverging sister group of the Onge-Hòabìnhian clade were the hunter-gatherers of the Indian subcontinent from whom Indians on an average get a major fraction of our ancestry. iv. The Tibetan-Jomon group which once stretched over Asia from at least Nepal-Tibet to
Japan before the classical Koreanic-type east Asian invasion. v. A group probably branching close to the stem after the Tianyuan-like &Onge-like groups somehow reached America and contributed to the ancestry of some South Americans. Today other than the Indian HG-component, the
Onge-like group include the Philippines Negritos, Papuans& Australians. 2. The Onges &Hòabìnhians lack high Denisovan ancestry but the Papuans& Australians show evidence for at least two introgression events with Denisovans. The Philippines Negritos too had 1 or 2 Denisovan
admixtures. Thus, Onge-like peoples spreading over South East Asia encountered Denisovan races all the way from Philippines to Sahul (Pap+Aus)& annihilated them across the Indo-Pacific islands while mating with them on occasion. On their march at some point they also reached
South America. There they were absorbed within the Americans of North Asian ancestry. 3. Here's where the Leang Panninge woman comes in. She clearly has that Onge-like ancestry of the type seen in Sahul peoples & the Denisovan admixture ~50%. However, she also has 50% East Asian
from a sister lineage of Tianyuan. The authors say this can be approximated by Qihe a southern East Asian Neolithic chap from ~8.4 KYA. This suggests that not just Onge-like groups but also this more Tianyuan like group expanded into the Pacific mixing with the former. However,
this type of ~50-50 Qihe-Onge-like mixture is no longer present in Sulawesi or its surroundings. They seemed to have been wiped out in turn by the Austronesian expansion.

While the bharadvAja-s have the most celebrated sUkta to
water-cycle goddess sarasvatI; yet they mention the rivers the least. What is going on there? Was their residence farther away from a river? However, they do mention samudra more frequently than most others.

Sep 11 1683 CE: The battle of Vienna between the Army of Islam under the Osman vazir & his Xtian allies against the Xtian coalition of Poles, Germans & Austrians led by the king of Poland Jan Sobieski. The Mohds despite having weaker artillery came close to taking the city but
the Germans &Polish cavalry which interesting included some Mongol units proved took the day for the Xtians,even as the Crimean Mongol units on the Turkish side seemed to have mostly betrayed them. In part the Mohd. loss was probably due to the vazir wanting to take Vienna intact
While I have no dog in that battle, I had curious encounter with an educated man with diverse interests who did a relatively mundane job of landscaping/planting/composting work. Either he or his parents had come from Germany but he said that he counted among his ancestors Mongols

This is a question of phylogenetic radius akin to that faced in defining biological categories likes species or genus. If the center is an Indian cow then how far does the radius go? Are serially bison, yak, gaur and buffalo fine? What are the rules to resolve it? IMO we first go
with biology. The buffalo (not what Americans think a buffalo is) & the rest of the bovid TMK don't hybridize. Hence, the buffalo can be placed outside this radius. Then we come human social function. The saola, the gaur are typically wild & don't perform the same Homo-centric
function; likewise with the wild bison. Hence, they might be excluded. However, the yak closer to bison & banteng closer to gaur might still be valid because they are functionally equivalent to the cow. Hence, I think the Indian or the non-Indian cows should be considered

A comment on this newly discovered Kashmirian image: While the deity is being called durgA due to the lions, the deity should be more correctly understood as shrI=lakShmI, with the lions merely emphasizing her transfunctional role.
For comparison see earlier image of parallel iconography:

The great divergence between the deepstate & the American masses is that the former want to keep playing Great Game 2. This urge comes from superpower realism which holds that no overtly heathen power should arise that might even marginally rival the Occidental Xtian leukosphere
The only place where such a possibility exists in the modern world in the Indian subcontinent (Some might barge in saying: what about chIna? We say that even if chIna-s might have some heathen remnants, their power is not visibly or consciously heathen. More over the incident of
the chInese younger bro of Jesus has made the occident wary of shift in center of gravity; then there is Galtonism; then there is dysfertility). Hence, the biggest issue for the deep state is to degrade & for a subset ultimately dismantling H power in the subcontinent. This is

The karaNDavyUha a counter-religious saugata text states that after emitting the deva-s from various parts of his body avalokiteshvara told rudra who had emerged from his forehead (lalATAn maheshvaraH |) that at the start of the kaliyuga he would be known as the primal god who is
the creater & agent of existence in the troubled sentient beings (bhaviShyasi tvaM maheshvaraH kaliyuge pratipanne kaShTa-sattva-dhAtu-samutpanna Adideva AkhyAyase sraShTAraM kartAram ||). Those sentient beings are will become uneducated in the bauddhamata ( te sarva-sattvA bodhi
