Blast from the past: The Poltavka outlier

The Rakhigarhi ancient DNA paper is coming soon. Very soon.
Yep, you’ve probably read this sort of thing many times in the last few years, including here. But this time, by all accounts, it’s really happening. For the latest Indian press teaser on the topic check out: We Are All Harappans.
At least I don’t have to write up a blog post for the occasion, because I already wrote one over two years ago, and it’s still current, more or less. Click on the screen cap below to teleport yourselves back to January 2016. And make sure to peruse the comments under the article. Hilarious stuff.

Of course, since then I’ve written many more posts dealing with South Asian population history, including some that are based on recently published ancient DNA from the region. Here are my picks:
On the doorstep of India
The mystery of the Sintashta people
Yamnaya isn’t from Iran just like R1a isn’t from India
Indian confirmation bias
The protohistoric Swat Valley “Indo-Aryans” might not be exactly what we think they are
The Out-of-India Theory (OIT) challenge: can we hear a viable argument for once?
