What DNA Says About Aryan Invasion Theory -2

Intrusion into NW Europe from east is compatible with a Eurasian steppe homeland for R. A recent paper summarizing finds is ...

According to the paper, there are two classes of R1a1 in India,

1. Recent, ~1500BC migration from steppes into NW India, called the Indo-European haplotype

All 15 Indian R1a1 haplotypes contain 88 mutations, that is 0.235 mutations per marker. It is significantly less than 0.296 mutations per marker in the Russianhaplotypes and corresponds to 3,675 years from a common ancestor. This is almost 1,150 years “younger” compared to the Russian one.

...

Excavations of some sites of Andronovo culture showed that eight inhabitants out of nine shared R1a1 haplogroup and haplotypes as follows, dating between 5,500 and 1,800 years bp:



13-25-16-11-11-14-X-Y-Z-14-11-32



In this example, alleles which have not been deciphered are replaced with letters. One can see that the ancient R1a1 haplotype closely resembles the Russian (as well as the other R1a1) ancestral haplotypes.

2. Older, with shared ancestor 5000-3000 BC found only in S India; specifically, tribes of Andhra. This is shared with people who live in China. The homeland is not yet determined for this haplotype.
