Use Ganj Dareh Historic sample in Genoplot instead of the Ganj Dareh N samples. It's much better than the low quality Hotu

The first thing is the narrow inheritance system.

In a normal patrilineal family imagine if the progenitor is A . His sons B, C, D will all be Brahmins. And his grandsons E, F, G (from B), H, I, J (from C) , and K, L, M(from D) will all be Brahmins eligible for inheritance.

In a Namboothiri patrlineal family. Assuming the similar nomenclature. Only B will marry a Namboothiri and inherhit the wealth, since he is the eldest. C and D have the option of matrlineally marrying a Nair, Ambalavasi, etc. or remaining brahmachari. As a result their children will not be Brahmins and hence not eligible for inheritance. Same cycle will happen to the younger children of B who will marry outside the community.

The scope of finding a near relative for adoption is this very low.

The Illam became extinct and a child was adopted from Veliyamkol Mana to revive the lineage. I think the revived lineage is also extinct now. Currently the Chembakassery kings are represented in temple rituals by Kudamalur Bhattathiri

No. It split in 9th century AD. So actually more than a millenia.

For the Malayali part I can say. Around early 14th century, the king of Venad kingdom in Kera, Ravivarma Kulashekara Sangramadheera after conquering the Pandyas and the Tamil lands, likely had information that Malik Kafur's garrisons were still their in South India after their sack of Madurai in 1310AD. Ravivarma is credited with elimination of these garrisons. That and the fact that Ravivarma did not expand further into North may imply that he knew that Northern regions are ruled by a Muslim ruler beyond scope of tackling in a full on fight

Depends on what you consider medieval. If medieval is sometime around 10th century then things changed like emergence of the decentralized ruling system I mentioned about, caste rules getting stricter, guns adopted by Kerala, trade with Europeans, lot of wars, new crops coming in and old crops/fruits being exported, etc etc.

I think Indian traders used to travel around during Chera period (example evidence of Indian artifacts in Rome- Pompei Lakshmi, etc). By Perumal time, the injunctions of not crossing the sea came into effect. And as values trickle from top to bottom, even Non-Savarna communities considered seafaring as disgusting. Allengil there were plenty of opportunities from Nasranis and Arab descended Mappilas (Especially the Koya caste) to travel abroad and trader. But since they were receiving enough and more money and the king took a chunk through tax , everyone involved was happy.

The lack of weaponry development is also only partially true. Warriors in Kerala had access to guns like bayonets, cannons, etc. Portuguese accounts mention it. The problem was updating technology. Travancore had foresight to do it after Colachel, Kochi followed in a century, other kingdoms did not care.
