Hutton believed that the earliest occupants of India were probably the Negrito race who, however, have left little trace in India. They are followed by the Proto-Austroloid. Next came an early branch of the Mediterranean race speaking an agglutinative tongue from which the present Austro-asiatic languages are derived. These are credited with a crude knowledge of agriculture and a megalithic cult. From Eastern Europe came a later wave of Mediterranean immigration, more advanced than the earlier hords, equipped with knowledge of metals and who developed the city states.
Hutton believed that the broad headed elements in the population of India can be traced back to the Armenodi branch of the Alpine race. They spoke a Dravidian language. Hutton has written, “This civilization was flooded in the West during the third millennium B.C. by immigration from the Iranian plateau and the Pamirs, of a Brachycephalic race perhaps an Indo-European language of the Pisacha or Dardic family”.
The Mongolian element came from the East and moved towards the South. The Indo-Aryan race came to India in 1500 B.C. Hence, the population of India, according to Hutton, consists of the following races, (1) Negrito, (2) Proto-Austroloid, (3) Mediterranean: (a) East Mediterranean, (b) Mediterranean, (4) Armenoid branch of Alpine, (5) Mongoloid, (b) Indo-Aryan.
