TL;DR: A comprehensive statistical analysis of data on 58 DNA markers (mitochondrial [mt], Y-chromosomal, and autosomal) and sequence data of the mtHVS1 from a large number of ethnically diverse populations of India was performed by.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided in support of the hypothesis that the Austro-Asiatic speakers are the most ancient inhabitants of India and the earlier finding that some of the western Eurasian haplogroups found in India may have been present in India prior to the entry of Aryan speakers.

TL;DR: This indicates that Indian populations were founded by a small number of females, possibly arriving on one of the early waves of out-of-Africa migration of modern humans; ethnic differentiationern Chinaoccurred subsequently through demographic expan-sions and geographic dispersal.

TL;DR: Analysis of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck and pre‐malignant severe dysplastic tissues from Indian patient populations for microsatellite instability suggests that the underlying mechanism generating this type of instability is different from those reported for colorectal tumors.

TL;DR: There is extensive sharing of mtDNA haplotypes among all the tribal populations studied, indicating that there was a small female founding population in India and that the Aryan-speakers pushed them to their present habitat.
