🌍 50,000 years of India's evolutionary history 🇮🇳🧬
New genomic research sequencing 2,762 individuals across India reveals:
✨ A major migration out of Africa ~50,000 years ago
🦴 1–2% ancestry from Neanderthals & Denisovans
🔗 Strong founder effects & endogamy raising recessive disease risk
🧩 >160,000 novel variants unique to India, some linked to immunity & drug response
These findings highlight why India's genetic diversity must be central to global precision medicine 💊🔬
