Hi Varsha darling, no I haven't watched the episode. Will see if I can look it up on youtube. I do know, of the many theories of how the early human might have migrated out of Africa and their possible route, one was through to be the sea route as oppose to a land one, and was hypothesized that the early humans might have just crossed the Indian Ocean to get to India - can't remember exactly the context, if there was any specific DNA evidence for the theory that put the Tamil population closer to the African ancestor by a degree or so. Although, I think the sea route was mostly discarded because at that time crossing a big ocean was thought to be tougher task with pre-historic boats and unsophisticated tools, not to mention that being on an open sea is much more dangerous and life threatening than on a land.
