South Asia, located on the crossroads of Western Eurasia and Eastern Eurasia, accounts for about 39.49% of Asia's population, [1] and over 24% of the world's population. [2] It is home to a vast array of people who belong to diverse ethnic groups, who migrated to the region during different periods of time. [3]

The presence of Himalayas in northern and eastern borders of South Asia have limited migrations from Eastern Eurasia into Indian subcontinent in the past. Hence most of the male-mediated migrations into South Asia occurred from Western Eurasia into the region, as seen in the Y-chromosome DNA Haplogroup variations of populations in the region. [4]

The major paternal lineages of South Asian populations, represented by Y chromosomes, are haplogroups R1a1 , R2 , H , L , and J2 , [5] as well as O-M175 in some parts (northeastern region) of the Indian subcontinent. [6] Haplogroup R is the most observed Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup among the populations of South Asia, [4] followed by H, L, and J, in the listed order. [4] These four haplogroups together constitute nearly 80% of all male Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups found in various populations of the region. [4]

The Y-chromosome DNA Haplogroups R1a1, R2, L, and J2, which are found in higher frequencies among various populations of the Indian subcontinent, are also observed among various populations of Europe, Central Asia, and Middle East. [7] Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups found in South Asia show strong affinity towards West Eurasian uniparental male line of ancestry while the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups found in most of the populations of the region show an admixture of West Eurasian and indigenous ancient South Asian uniparental female lines of ancestries in contrast. [4]

Some researchers have argued that Y-DNA Haplogroup R1a1 (M17) is of autochthonous South Asian origin. [8] However, proposals for a Eurasian Steppe origin for R1a1 are also quite common and supported by several more recent studies. [9] The spread of R1a1 in Indian subcontinent is associated with Indo-Aryan migrations into the region from South Central Asia that occurred around 3,500-4,000 years before present. [4] .The R1a-Z93 paternal genetic in Romani people was also discovered. [10] Indian-Brahmin origin of paternal haplogroup R1a1*. [11]

The Haplogroup R2 is mostly restricted to various populations of the Indian subcontinent, in addition to some populations of South Central Asia and parts of Middle East where it is observed in low frequencies. [4] R2 has high frequency among the speakers of the Dravidian languages of South India and it spread throughout the Indian subcontinent during the spread of agriculture associated with the Neolithic Revolution, before the spread of R1a1 in the region. [4]

The Haplogroup H (also known as the "Indian marker" [4] ), which is a direct descendant of the Upper Paleolithic Eurasian Haplogroup HIJK, is mostly restricted to South Asian populations of the Indian subcontinent, [4] in addition to some populations of South Central Asia and eastern Iranian plateau, where it is found in low frequencies. [5] It originated somewhere in the Middle East or South Central Asia and travelled to Indian subcontinent and adjoining areas of the eastern Iranian plateau around 40,000-50,000 years before present. [4]

The Haplogroup L, which is thought to have originated near Pamir mountains of present-day Tajikistan in South Central Asia, [4] travelled throughout Indian subcontinent during the Neolithic period, and it is associated with the spread of the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) in South Asia, which existed around 3,300-5,300 years before present. [4] It is also observed among many populations of the Iranian plateau. The spread of the Haplogroup J2 from Iranian plateau into Indian subcontinent also occurred during the Neolithic period, alongside L. [4]

The Haplogroup O-M175, which is a major haplogroup observed among the populations of East and Southeast Asia, is found among many Austroasiatic and Tibeto-Burman speakers of northeastern regions of the Indian subcontinent. [6]

Listed below are some notable groups and populations from South Asia by human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups based on various relevant studies.

The samples are taken from individuals identified with specific linguistic designations (IE=Indo-European, Dr=Dravidian, AA=Austro-Asiatic, ST=Sino-Tibetan) and individual linguistic groups, the third column (n) gives the sample size studied, and the other columns give the percentage of the respective haplogroups.

Majority of the Indo-European (IE) speakers of South Asia speak Indo-Aryan languages, followed by Iranian languages, both of which belong to Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. [13] [14] They form around 75% of the South Asian populations. [13]

The Dravidian (Dr) speakers of South Asia are mostly clustered in South India and Balochistan. [15] They form around 20% of the South Asian populations. [15]

The Sino-Tibetan (ST) speakers in northeastern parts of the Indian subcontinent speak various languages belonging to Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. [16]

The Austroasiatic (AA) speakers of South Asia are scattered in parts of East India and Bangladesh.

Note: The converted frequencies from some old studies conducted in 2000s may lead to unsubstantial frequencies below. Table below has been sorted in alphabetical order based on the name of the population.

Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia is the study of the genetics and archaeogenetics of the ethnic groups of South Asia. It aims at uncovering these groups' genetic histories. The geographic position of the Indian subcontinent makes its biodiversity important for the study of the early dispersal of anatomically modern humans across Asia.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Haplogroup J-M172</span> Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup

In human genetics, Haplogroup J-M172 or J2 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup which is a subclade (branch) of haplogroup J-M304. Haplogroup J-M172 is common in modern populations in Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Southern Europe, Northwestern Iran and North Africa. It is thought that J-M172 may have originated between the Caucasus, Anatolia and/or Western Iran.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Haplogroup J (Y-DNA)</span> Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup

Haplogroup J-M304, also known as J, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is believed to have evolved in Western Asia. The clade spread from there during the Neolithic, primarily into North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Socotra Archipelago, the Caucasus, Europe, Anatolia, Central Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Haplogroup H (Y-DNA)</span> Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup

Haplogroup H (Y-DNA), also known as H-L901/M2939, is a Y-chromosome haplogroup.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Haplogroup L-M20</span> Human Y chromosome DNA grouping common in South Asia and the Mediterranean

Haplogroup L-M20 is a human Y-DNA haplogroup, which is defined by SNPs M11, M20, M61 and M185. As a secondary descendant of haplogroup K and a primary branch of haplogroup LT, haplogroup L currently has the alternative phylogenetic name of K1a, and is a sibling of haplogroup T.

Haplogroup P also known as P-F5850 or K2b2 is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup in human genetics. P-F5850 is a branch of K2b, which is a branch of Haplogroup K2 (K-M526).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Haplogroup R1</span> Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup

Haplogroup R1, or R-M173, is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. A primary subclade of Haplogroup R (R-M207), it is defined by the SNP M173. The other primary subclade of Haplogroup R is Haplogroup R2 (R-M479).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup</span> Human DNA groupings

In human genetics, a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup is a haplogroup defined by mutations in the non-recombining portions of DNA from the male-specific Y chromosome. Many people within a haplogroup share similar numbers of short tandem repeats (STRs) and types of mutations called single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Haplogroup R, or R-M207, is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is both numerous and widespread amongst modern populations.

Haplogroup R2a, or haplogroup R-M124, is a Y-chromosome haplogroup characterized by genetic markers M124, P249, P267, L266, and is mainly found in South Asia as well as in Central Asia, Caucasus, Southwest Asia, and the Arab countries with low frequencies.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Burusho people</span> Ethnolinguistic group of Kashmir, South Asia

The Burusho, or Brusho, also known as the Botraj, are an ethnolinguistic group indigenous to the Yasin, Hunza, Nagar, and other valleys of Gilgit–Baltistan in northern Pakistan, with a tiny minority of around 350 Burusho people residing in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Their language, Burushaski, has been classified as a language isolate.

The various ethnolinguistic groups found in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and/or South Asia demonstrate differing rates of particular Y-DNA haplogroups.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Haplogroup R1a</span> Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup

Haplogroup R1a, or haplogroup R-M420, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup which is distributed in a large region in Eurasia, extending from Scandinavia and Central Europe to Central Asia, southern Siberia and South Asia.

Y-DNA haplogroups in populations of Europe are haplogroups of the male Y-chromosome found in European populations.

Listed here are notable ethnic groups and populations from Western Asia, Egypt and South Caucasus by human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups based on relevant studies. The samples are taken from individuals identified with the ethnic and linguistic designations in the first two columns, the third column gives the sample size studied, and the other columns give the percentage of the particular haplogroup. Some old studies conducted in the early 2000s regarded several haplogroups as one haplogroup, e.g. I, G and sometimes J were haplogroup 2, so conversion sometimes may lead to unsubstantial frequencies below.

The study of the genetics and archaeogenetics of the Gujarati people of India aims at uncovering these people's genetic history. According to the 1000 Genomes Project, "Gujarati" is a general term used to describe people who trace their ancestry to the region of Gujarat, located in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent, and who speak the Gujarati language, an Indo-European language. They have some genetic commonalities as well as differences with other ethnic groups of India.
