A Relook at the Rakhigarhi ancestor I6113


In my previous post, I analyzed the so-called 'Indus Periphery' samples from the data published in Narasimhan et al 2019. 

My conclusion was that the IVCp samples can be best modeled distally as 

Ganj_Dareh + Ancient North Eurasian (Tarim_Basin or West Siberian HG) + Onge + Levant_PPN or Anatolian Farmer.

IVC periphery models

In this post, I shall do an in depth analysis of the genome of the lone Rakhigarhi sample (Id: I6113, female) dated to around 2000 BCE, published in Shinde et al 2019.
