🔄FROM THE ARCHIVE: DNA obtained from an ancient woman’s remains have established a genetic link between modern-day Indians and the Indus Valley Civilization’s people.
Two new genetic studies published this week offer some rare insights into the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the earliest human civilizations. The work helps illuminate where these people, who created one of the cradles of civilization, came from. Just as importantly, it also reveals where they went.
Located at the crossroads of historic trade routes, the region has been settled by a number of groups through time. But where the first civilization to arise there came from was a mystery. However, after screening 61 skeleton samples excavated from an Indus burial site outside of New Delhi, the researchers stumbled on one with a small amount of DNA still preserved. It belonged to a woman who lived around 4,000 years ago. After discovering the rare find, the researchers painstakingly sequenced the DNA sample to obtain a full genomic picture.
