He wrote on the Hyperborean/Arctic origins of the Vedas and acknowledged that Hinduism was brought to India by people migrating south but disagreed on the theory that there was a concerted huge movement of people that largely displaced/subjugated the indigenous population of the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent (which through genetic studies we now know to be somewhat true). The fact that he wasn't aware of the extent of the migration into India doesn't really have any bearing upon the fact that he was right about most other things though. He expressly notes at one point that after a certain point the southern Dravidians were just as much Hindu as those who were descended from the northern migrants.

He definitely would have disagreed on the idea of one particular race being 'super-human' 'alien' etc with other races not being that because it goes against the whole premise of Advaita. In some sense the Aryans/Indo-Europeans/Indo-Iranians were privileged in that they were the original recipients of the Sruti much as Arabs benefited from being the first to hear Muhammad's revelations, but being the first to benefit from that sort of thing itself does not make those races super-human.

meme answer: yes

serious answer: the original proto-indo-europeans were the Hyperboreans, all the Indo-European cultures can claim to be part of that heritage but since the original group is dissolved nobody has a singular claim to them.
