How much Kangju, Wusun and Sarmatian ancestry do Tajiks- Pamiris, Yaghnobis have?

[Dr_Maul]

Any Indus Valley sample? They were South Asians after all.

IRN_Shahr Sokhta BA2 from Southeast Iran is considered as an "indus valley peripheral culture" and is genetically fully south asian, you can try those

[Dr_Maul]

When did these Hindu people eventually assimilate? Could it not be explained by the usual slow genetic flow?

Idk, probably into the local "peasant" population during that time, the admixture isn't particularly large, around 0-4% in Central-West Iranians (This is reflected in 23andme as well, which often shows this amount of South Asian too.). Some regions of Iran have higher, especially around the gulf area.

Going by the study I sent, as well as this one (https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S...74(21)00839-4) which says Kurds didn't receive admixture since bronze age either, I made this model using Kurdish and Iranian Zoroastrian to represent purer Medieval Iranians



This pretty much matches the study's model as well as what 23andme shows for most Iranians

Already use it. But I don't think it's 100% South Indian 'cause Iranians can get quite a bit of it.

As far as I know it is pure South Asian, and Iranians don't score more than 5% usually (except for some individuals especially in the south, as well as baloches, east iranians/iranics etc)

You can also try Shahr_Sokhta_BA3 and this Shahr_Sokhta_BA2:18728 individual. They are even more AASI-shifted than Shahr_Sokhta_BA2 average:

Not sure if they are 100% South Indian or not, but they seem to very close to them:

Yes thats what I am referring to. and I think it is reflected a little bit, in terms of H and others although most of Indians haplogroup isn't particularly different from the region in the first place (Steppe and Iran neolithic)

It says Pakistani like which could anything really. Regarding haplotypes , surely south Asians have a unique ydna marker ? I know they are rich in R1a and others but surely it can't be the exact same clades as Iranians And central Asians ?

There are many shared clades. But H for example is pure South Asian and is found in 1-3% across Iran and especially in Xinjiang and Uzbekistan which shows definite Gypsy / South Asian admix. Haplogroup L too.

Btw the Tajik_Badakhshan samples are actually from Gorno-Badakhshan, Tajikistan, not from Badakhshan in Far Northern Afghanistan.

Do you know who added it? It was added just a week or so ago.

[Zanzibar]

Not sure if it was David or Lucas who added it. But the original samples came from the user in Anthrogenica: https://anthrogenica.com/showthread....l=1#post796199
