The ancient Aryan language that was spoken in India is related to the languages of Europe. What does this suggest about where the Aryans first lived?

The statement suggests that the Aryans originated in India, but in reality, they originate from the steppes of Eurasia.

Explanation:

The Aryans were an ancient group of people that formed as such in the Eurasian steppes, mostly in the close area north of the Black and Caspian Seas. Because the populations were growing but the resources were very limited, these warlike people groups started to migrate in order to find other suitable places for living.

The migrations went in numerous directions, with the majority moving toward the south in what is now Iran, southeast in the Indian subcontinent, and west toward Europe. These migrations resulted in spreading out of a gene pool, culture, and language with the same basis over a very large area. The Aryans lived in India and their descendants still do, and so is their language, but this is the case in Europe as well. Over thousands of years though, the isolation between the groups has resulted in the divergence of the language and creation of numerous different languages, but they all belong to the same group and have the same origin.
