[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [qb] @ Djehuti Remind me, what are your views on the biological affinity of the ancient Indus Valley people? I've always imagined them to be primarily descended from the aboriginal people of the Indian subcontinent, or what some genetic studies have called "Ancestral South Indian" (ASI). In which case, they would have been quite dark-skinned, like Australasian or Negrito peoples. Or do you think they were closer to these prehistoric Iranians? [/qb][/QUOTE]Well without good genetic sampling of the Indus populations (they were a lot of them) along the Indus region, we can't be sure. But for a long while even before this study came out, I have suspected that the forebears of this culture i.e. Neolithic forebears who cultivated wheat came from Southwest Asia. I concluded this from certain archaeological resemblances as well as hg J2, thus they represent ANI people. Many people try to identify ANI with Indo-Aryans but as you're aware ANI predates any Aryan migration and dates at exactly the time of the neolithic. I'll have more info on this another thread that you yourself created. [/QB][/QUOTE]
