WGS analysis of ~2,700 Indians (largest to date) cell.com/cell/fulltext/… @CellCellPress - Most variation traced back to a single out-of-Africa event 50,000 years ago, with subsequent gene flow from Neanderthals & Denosivans. - All had a 4th degree relative or closer within the dataset (!) - Most Indians today are enriched for genetic variation from sources similar to: Andamanese hunter-gatherers, ancient Iranian farmers, and Steppe pastoralist groups - Lots of founder events / endogamy increase homozygosity, contributing to enrichment for autosomal recessive disease - Indians have a larger burden of population-specific Neanderthal ancestry vs others, contributing to adaptation & disease (largely related to immunity)
