As no "ASI" ancient DNA is available, the indigenous Andamanese Onge are used as an (imperfect) proxy of ASI (according to Reich et al., the Andamanese, though distinct from them, are the closest living population to the ASI). According to Reich et al., both ANI and ASI ancestry are found all over the subcontinent (in both northern and southern ...
The book discusses four prehistoric migrations in India. [18] [19] It posits that the Harappans were a mixture of Zagros agriculturists (from the modern-day Iran area) and First Indians, [20] a wave of migrants who came from Africa into Arabia and then reached India around 65,000 years ago.
Stone tools discovered at the prehistoric site of Attirampakkam in South India are among the earliest examples of Levallois technique outside of Africa. The transition to the Middle Paleolithic in South Asia has been uniquely informed by Attirampakkam, an open-air site with evidence of lithic industry spanning over a millennium. This quarry ...

Archaeogenetics is the study of ancient DNA using various molecular genetic methods and DNA resources. This form of genetic analysis can be applied to human, animal, and plant specimens. Ancient DNA can be extracted from various fossilized specimens including bones, eggshells, and artificially preserved tissues in human and animal specimens.
Ancient DNA (aDNA) is DNA isolated from ancient sources (typically specimens, but also environmental DNA). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Due to degradation processes (including cross-linking , deamination and fragmentation ) [ 3 ] ancient DNA is more degraded in comparison with contemporary genetic material. [ 4 ]
The Narmada Human, originally the Narmada Man, is a species of extinct human that lived in central India during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. [1] [2] From a skull cup discovered from the bank of the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh in 1982, the discoverer, Arun Sonakia classified it was an archaic human and gave the name Narmada Man, with the scientific name H. erectus narmadensis.

Recent archaeogenetic research based on DNA samples collected from the Harappan site of Rakhigarhi suggests that Western Asian migration to northern India occurred as early as 12,000 years ago, but that the rise of agriculture in India was a later phenomenon, probably due to cultural exchanges around 2,000 years later, rather than direct ...
