Is it possible for someones sexual preferences to change?

People say its not possible but my cousin said he used to only be attracted to adult women, but he started masturbating to loli hentai (basically anime girls that look like children), he developed a preference for girls that look like that. He says he doesnt feel attracted to adult women that much anymore unless they have childlike features. Is this true or is he making it up?

Do people with an iq of 90 get insulted for their intelligence in real life?

I suspect my iq is 90 and there's been a lot of situations where people have thought i was stupid, especially my father, he sometimes asks me to do something and then I make mistakes, he asks me to look at something and I dont see it even if its in front of me, etc. One time he asked me a question (cant really remember what it was, but it was a "what would you do in this situation?" type of question) and i froze up and didnt know what to answer and he called me stupid. Does this often happen to people with an IQ of 90? Or maybe my IQ is lower than that?

I think its possible who composed the rigveda were like modern north indians

If you look at genetic samples from 1500-1000 bc, the only ones indicative of indo aryans are these samples, they cluster with modern north indians (the last one with pashtuns) and the second one is from Uzbekistan in 1500 BC. They all have 20-30% steppe, the last one 50%. These samples all have maternal steppe ancestry. But its difficult to believe aryans would have been much different from these samples. The only other sample that is possibly Indo Aryan is Sinauli, but this sample is low quality, so it cant be modeled correctly.

Steppe ancestry in Vedic Aryans

The earliest parts of the Rigveda were apparently composed in Afghanistan, so it is unlikely that Aryans would have been very mixed by this point, since Indians dont have much BMAC ancestry, its unlikely that the Aryans at the time had much either. IVC ancestry was also probably rare in Afghanistan. Furthermore, there are outliers in Mesopotamia and Israel that have minor Sintashta ancestry (around 25%), and the Mitanni made hymns to Vedic gods, I believe they also introduced animals native to south asia to the middle east but I could be wrong.

So based on this, the people who composed the rigveda were probably 60-80% steppe, at least initially.

There are also samples from Iron Age Swat Valley from around the same time and these samples are 20-30% Steppe but their Steppe ancestry is maternal. There are about a hundred samples from this region I think. All of them have minor steppe. Perhaps aryans cremated their dead and so this is why there are no samples with any high steppe. Regardless, Im not sure if Aryans would've been similar to this group.

There is a leaked sample from Sinauli in India which was modeled as 80% sintashta, however, we dont know if it was really that much since its a low quality sample.

There is also a lack of non Indo European influence in Vedic Sanskrit compared to Classical Sanskrit which suggests that local Indian languages had more influence on later Sanskrit.

Do you have a creepy uncle?

My uncle is 60 and has a sexual preference for 12-13 year old girls, we were on the subway and he saw a girl that age wearing a school uniform and he flirted with her and tried to get her phone number, we were at the beach a year ago and he saw this group of girls who looked 13 or 14 and he was flirting with them and they walked away and then he chased them around the beach, he said he started feeling attracted to girls that age when he was 17-18, before that he wasnt interested in them, I like him as a person but I think his behavior is inappropriate, has anyone else have a similar experience with their uncle or any male family member?

When and where was the rigveda composed?

I read that the earliest parts of the rigveda was composed in Afghanistan is this true? They claim that the saraswati river in india was dried up so the saraswati river mentioned in the rigveda was referring to the Helmand river in Afghanistan. Also what date would it have been composed? What date did aryans migrate to India / Punjab?
