@SpicyGaullism@Rtam86418021 Haplogroups are not so important as in knowing the origin of the haplogroup itself but rather the closest paternal matches From Your haplogroup subclade, chad lake bantus would only get other R1b chad lake bantus as their closest Haplogroup matches under their specific subclades.
@ArainGang@Afghan_DNA Indic and Iranic are linguistic terms, at one point in history everyone is Assimilated into something. The "original" Pashtuns would Mainly be the Sarbani, Under the Central Asian R1a clade and L1a clade, soon other tribal confederacies joined and became pashtun.
QpAdm results for academic Burusho samples from Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
The Burusho are unique in speaking Burushaski, a language isolate, in contrast to the Indo-European speaking majority of Pakistan.
@786abdul_ Tmrca is also Quite Late with this sample, Y-full states the tmrca for this Arain sample and for these Pamiri samples to be around 1000 BCE which corresponds to the Vedic Era, Where the Man lived is hard to point
@786abdul_ Very Very interesting, Arain having the closest Paternal matches be Wakhi Tajiks and Brahui definitely Points to a More Western origin, Supported by their genetics. We just need to figure out which ancestral group that may be, sadly Historical sources got destroyed mostly.
@Rashavandi@Afghan_DNA It can be considered a mega tribe, and under it many clans which can be their own tribes. They are a big tribe, and share same lineage as each other
@Anand_Venkatram @a_south_indian @PortfolioPasha I was asking because my friend is Atreya. He belongs to Jammu, Mentioned however that his paternal ancestors were originally from Maharashtra.
