      Because the vast swathe of Indo-Europeans seem to have all originated from somewhere in this region … If you’re white, then a good chunk of your ancestors had something to do with the culture that expanded our of that region in the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age. Do you prefer the term Indo-European?
