They spread out all over Europe and ##QUESTION_6## to India, Persia and Mesopotamia. Thus we find that nearly all the people of Europe and northern India and Persia and Mesopotamia, although they differ so much ##QUESTION_7## each other now, are really descendants from the same ##QUESTION_8##, the Aryans.

Science means knowledge, but not all knowledge is science. I know from my own eyesight that our dog Chippy likes papaya; I know from a book that Akbar was the ##QUESTION_1## of Babar, and ##QUESTION_2## in 1605; and I know ##QUESTION_3## the radio that India did not do well in the ##QUESTION_4## Test matches. We can call these ##QUESTION_5## of knowledge, ##QUESTION_6##, but they are not science. Science ##QUESTION_7## with facts, but not with facts which have ##QUESTION_8## to do with each other, like the facts about our dog, cricket and the Moghul ruler; those facts are not related ##QUESTION_9## , and so have nothing ##QUESTION_10## with science. Science starts with observation.
