    1. Why are Punjabi and Sikh separated? Sikhism is a religion, and almost all Sikhs happen to be Punjabi, which is an ethnolinguistic group.

      How are the sherpas and other Nepalis so genetically distinct? Haven’t they lived together to centuries?

      Geographically it checks out.

      Some cultures like the Kalash claim to be descended from Alexander the Great’s army. Don’t think there’s been much research on this but the Greek civilizations in the region definitely shaped genetics.

    4. I’m assuming the „European“ is more about the common Indo-European heritage rather than anything else? Because otherwise these slices seem awfully large.

      Tripuri is interesting. They’re basically eastern Asian Bengali speakers?

      I can’t wait for the Romanis to also claim a slice of their „rightful“ land of Punjab 😍🥰

      The west Asian and European portions seem extremely exaggerated to me and what even is the hard line between South and East Asian don’t they just flow into each other

      Why don’t you use the terms that are most commonly used in research? This creates a lot of confusion.

      This map exactly matches the highly unscientific mental observations I made while traveling in India and staring back at people who were staring at me.

    10. When I did an ancestry test, this is what my results said – you are 100% Indian 😐

      Why are there random caste groups interspersed in this map? Dalits are not some northern indian ethnic group

      Indo-European aka “European Hunter Gatherer” groups are NOT European. This is an anachronism because the current label “European” is an Enlightenment-era concept. Moreover, current Europeans are nothing like those EHG groups, because they share a lot more ancestry than just that. In fact, South Europeans have a lot more Anatolian Neolithic Farmer ancestry than EHG, and even Northwest Europeans are largely half ANF. Equating direct European heritage of Romani people with ancient Indo Europeans under one cluster is also wrong.

      Calling Iranian Neolithic related ancestry “West Asian” is just as problematic.

      This is a terrible, terrible map, and a great proof that Wikipedia is not trustworthy when it comes to matters like this.
