Bengalis are not totally Burmese in their East Asian ancestry
Posted on Categories Genetics2 Comments on Bengalis are not totally Burmese in their East Asian ancestryThough Burmese are a good donor for the Tibeto-Burman in Burmese, it seems pretty clear now that I have Tibetan samples that the Bangladeshi samples are a bit more Tibetan-skewed than these Burmese samples. It may be that the early admixture into Bengal was from a Burmese population that had admixed less with the Austro-Asiatic substrate of Burma.
Note that this confirms the Austro-Asiatic populations have a totally different (more southern) East Asian ancestry source.

Tibeto-Burman admixture into Bengalis
Posted on Categories GeneticsDoing some reading about the Tibetans for a post for my Substack, and I decide to look around and find some Tibetan genotypes. I went back to a question that has come up before, who contributed the East Asian ancestry into Bengalis? Austro-Asiatics or Tibeto-Burmans?
It’s clearly Tibeto-Burmans.
