Rajesh,

Higher diversity means more variation in the genetic sequence among individuals of the population. Any population with greater diversity for any given gene sequence is more likely to be an original source group - whereas - any population with comparatively lesser diversity is more likely to be a derived group (from the source group).
If a small group of humans left Earth to set up a colony on Mars, then a thousand years down the road we could still easily tell which planet was the original human home. Earth's human population would be very diverse - whereas - Mars' population would reflect only the limited diversity of the original few colonists
Since Both mtDNA and y chromosome lack a corresponding homologous pair, I don't think these regions undergo recombinant translocation in the same way that autosomes do. Their variation is solely due to mutations which accumulate over time. The sequences used to track diversity are in the noncoding regions (introns, junk sequences, repeats, etc) of DNA, eliminating the effects of selective pressure on the actual genes.
This new evidence extrapolates into prehistory the well-known civilizational gradient between India/China and the joker settlements of Europe. The population and cultural trajectories are overwhelimingly East to West and they have always been that way. There is simply no question of some euro pinecone laying the foundation of Dharma in India and it sister region of SE Asia........
