Reconstructing Indian population history.

Nature - 24 Sept 2009

Reich David, Thangaraj Kumarasamy, Patterson Nick, Price Alkes L, Singh Lalji

Abstract excerpt

India has been underrepresented in genome-wide surveys of human variation. We analyse 25 diverse groups in India to provide strong evidence for two ancient populations, genetically divergent, that are ancestral to most Indians today. One, the 'Ancestral North Indians' (ANI), is genetically close to Middle Easterners, Central Asians, and Europeans, whereas the other, the 'Ancestral South Indians' (ASI), is as...
