Ancient human genomes from Ladakh reveal Tibetan, South Asian, and Central Asian admixture over the last three millennia

2026-01-28

Abstract excerpt

The trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh occupies a strategic position at the crossroads of South Asia, the Tibetan Plateau, and Central Asia, with archaeological evidence pointing to long-term cultural exchanges across these regions. However, the human genetic history of Ladakh remains largely unexplored. We generated paleogenomic data from seven individuals recovered from two sites in Western Ladakh - the Old Lady S...
