   Good idea, keep wing nut politics out of science.   
      
   The new dates are for non-complex cultures that preceeded the indus complex   
   cultures.  These are not the same culture.   
      
   This pattern is the rule in all cases of complex cultures the globe over,   
   They were preceeded by less complex ones.   
      
   The new date in the article is for the less complex of 8 k years ago.  The   
   same kind for the middle east start at 10 k if not before.   
      
   This indus culture and those which preceeded it have absolutely nothing to   
   do with india today. Any connection to it is broken.  	   
      
   People of egypt have a more valid claim for cultural connections to ancient   
   egyptian cultures then any possible claim india can ever make.   
      
   Pakistan can make an equally valid claim it is part   
   of their history, no?  That is even more the case because much of the indus   
   cultures are found in pakistan.   
      
   Indeed, keepp self glory wing nut politics out of science.
