Modern South Asians are descendants of a combination of Western Eurasian ancestries (notably "Iran Neolithic Farmers" and "Western Steppe Herder" components) with an indigenous South Asian component (termed Ancient Ancestral South Indians, short "AASI") closest to the non–West Eurasian part extracted from South Asian samples; distantly related to the Andamanese peoples, as well as to East ...
Kshatriya found that the genetic makeup of Sri Lankan Tamils shows an overlap of about 55.2% (± 9.47%) with that of Sinhalese people while the Sinhalese had the greatest contribution from South Indian Tamils (69.86% +/- 0.61), followed by Bengalis from the East India (25.41% +/- 0.51). With both the Sri Lankan Tamils and Sinhalese in the ...
One exception to this are the Chibcha speakers of Colombia, whose ancestry comes from both North and South America. [31] In 2014, the autosomal DNA of a 12,500+ year old infant from Montana was sequenced. [32] The DNA was taken from a skeleton referred to as Anzick-1, found in close association with several Clovis artifacts.
Vasant Shinde - Kolkata 2024-05-18. Vasant Shinde is an Indian archaeologist, who has done excavations at Rakhigarhi from 2011 to 2016. [web 1] He was the first author on the long-awaited 2019 paper "An Ancient Harappan Genome Lacks Ancestry from Steppe Pastoralists or Iranian Farmers," [1] on DNA-research on a single skeleton from Rakhigarhi which shows that the people of the Indus Valley ...
The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.
