DNA of Pakistan & India: Who Lived Here Before Aryans?

Who were the First Indians, and how did they survive the greatest natural disaster in human history? We often think the history of the subcontinent begins with the Indus Valley Civilization (Harappa and Mohenjo Daro) or the arrival of the Aryans. But the real story of our DNA is thousands of years older. In this first episode of our special investigative series, we uncover the 74,000-year-old secret of human survival in South Asia. From the first human migration out of Africa along the Makran Coast to the devastating Toba Volcano eruption that plunged the world into a volcanic winter, discover how a small group of survivors defied the odds. These ancient hunter-gatherers, known to science as the Ancient Ancestral South Indians (AASI), carry the genetic legacy that still flows in the veins of people in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh today. Were the founders of Harappa the pure descendants of these first survivors, or is there another twist in our genetic history?
