SI 6-The Question of Aryan Migration Through the Lens of Y-Chromosomal Haplogroup R1A - Dr. Chaubey

Dr. Gyaneshwar Chaubey presents his paper titled The Question of Aryan Migration through the lens of Y-Chromosomal Haplogroup R1a. Dr. Chaubey speaks of the under-representation of the genetic diversity of India in the studies that have concluded that the paternal Y chromosome is associated with the haplogroup R1. He emphasises the point that the phylogenetic structure of the R1a1 branch cannot be considered as a derivative of either Europeans or Central Asians. Dr. Chaubey also presents his results that the maternal gene-pool of Indians, including speakers of Indo-European and Dravidian languages, is nearly uniform.
