Franklin… I would wonder since brown eyed DNA is dominant over blue eyes that the great majority of upper Europeans were indeed blue eyed? And then over the centuries with the minor mixing with brown eyes, we are seeing a lot of Whites now with brown eyes?

The Irish name Éire is not derived from Arya but from the name of the Gaelic goddess Eriu ( see Wikipedia : Éire).

Of all the Indo-European peoples only the Iranians and Indians called themselves Arya. To use this name for all IE peoples is as incorrect as to call them all “Celts” or “Slavs”.

It is doubtful whether the original Indo-Europeans were all blond and blue-eyed,though some probably were.

The undivided Indo-Europeans are identified with the Kurgan culture in the region North of the Black See.( Kurgan : “burial mound”)

The fact that there is a kinship between Semitic languages and Indo-European and that the oldest testimonies of IE are found in Hittite in Turkey does raise the possibility that the original homeland of the IE peoples was in Turkey. They probably crossed the Caucasus to settle North of the Black See and not via Iran as your map suggests (there are some elements of North Caucasian in IE).

Europeans are not the direct descendants of the invading Indo-Europeans but in various proportions a mixture of Cro-Magnons, Alpines, Mediterraneans and Indo-Europeans. To call Europeans “Aryans” therefore would be a double mistake.
