Layers in the sand: The genetic imprint of migration, culture, and Indus craft in the Thar desert

2025-09-20

Abstract excerpt

The Thar Desert of northwest India, despite its harsh ecology, has sustained settlement of ancient crafts and pastoral communities. Their persistence provides a unique opportunity to study how migration, ecology, and culture have shaped genetic diversity. We analyzed genome-wide SNP data from 176 individuals across eight occupational communities along with global, Indian populations and diverse ancient genomes. Po...
