South Asian admixture?

[TheForeigner]

What genetic evidence is there for South Asian admixture in Europeans? What is the frequency of it, what groups have it, how much do they have and is iit from Gypsies or some other source populaton?

How much are you talking about? I heard small amounts found with Eurogenes could be from Yamnaya admixture.

[StonyArabia]

Gypsy admixture would in the Balkans and parts of eastern-central Europe, if there is any South Asian admix its mostly likely from that source. The British might have South Asian admixture, but rather it's from the Indian colonial period and possibly assimilated Gypsies, British Gypsies like the Romanichals are pretty much British genetically with 10% South Asian, which it does not show on their phenotypes.

They lied you.

[TheForeigner]

Actually I am surprised of any South Asian admixture in other parts of Asia too. How did it get there?

M1 is not restricted to Africa. It is relatively common in the Mediterranean, peaking in Iberia. M1 also enjoys a well-established presence in the Middle East, from the South of the Arabian Peninsula to Anatolia and from the Levant to Iran. In addition, M1 haplotypes have occasionally been observed in the Caucasus and the Trans Caucasus, and without any accompanying L lineages.[3][10] M1 has also been detected in Central Asia, seemingly reaching as far as Tibet.

Perhaps among Gypsies.

I noticed Finns tend to score bits of south asian. It surely isn't from gypsies, but some older bronze age link.
