Abstract
Dataset and analysis strategy
Iran and Turan
A west-to-east cline of decreasing Anatolian farmer–related ancestry
People of the BMAC were not a major source of ancestry for South Asians
Steppe pastoralist–derived ancestry arrived in Turan by 2100 BCE
An ancestry profile widespread during the Indus Valley Civilization
The Steppe and Forest Zone
Ancestry clines in Eurasia established after the advent of farming
A distinctive ancestry profile stretching from Eastern Europe to Kazakhstan in the Bronze Age
Bidirectional mobility along the Inner Asian Mountain Corridor
The genomic formation of human populations in South Asia
Three ancestry clines that succeeded each other in time in South Asia
The ASI and ANI arose as Indus Periphery Cline people mixed with groups to the north and east
Steppe ancestry in modern South Asians is primarily from males and disproportionately high in Brahmin and Bhumihar groups
