A key gradient formed in southwestern Asia beginning in the Neolithic and continuing into the Bronze Age, with more Anatolian farmer-related ancestry in the west and more Iranian farmer-related ancestry in the east. This cline extended to the desert oases of Central Asia and was the primary source of ancestry in peoples of the Bronze Age Bactria Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC). This supports the idea that the archaeologically documented dispersal of domesticates was accompanied by the spread of people from multiple centers of domestication.</p> <p id="P11">The main population of the BMAC carried no ancestry from Steppe pastoralists and did not contribute substantially to later South Asians. However, Steppe pastoralist ancestry appeared in outlier individuals at BMAC sites by the turn of the second millennium BCE around the same time as it appeared on the southern Steppe. Using data from ancient individuals from the Swat Valley of northernmost South Asia, we show that Steppe ancestry then integrated further south in the first half of the second millennium BCE, contributing up to 30% of the ancestry of modern groups in South Asia. The Steppe ancestry in South Asia has the same profile as that in Bronze Age Eastern Europe, tracking a movement of people that affected both regions and that likely spread the unique shared features shared between Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic languages.</p> <p id="P12">The primary ancestral population of modern South Asians is a mixture of people related to early Holocene populations of Iran and South Asia that we detect in outlier individuals from two sites in cultural contact with the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), making it plausible that it was characteristic of the IVC. After the IVC’s decline, this population mixed with northwestern groups with Steppe ancestry to form the “Ancestral North Indians” (ANI) and with southeastern groups to form the “Ancestral South Indians” (ASI) whose direct descendants live today in tribal groups in southern India. Mixtures of these two post-IVC groups--the ANI and ASI--drive the main gradient of genetic variation in South Asia today.</p></section><section id="S3"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Conclusion:</h3> <p id="P13">Earlier work recorded massive population movement from the Steppe into Europe early in the 3<sup>rd</sup> millennium BCE, likely spreading Indo-European languages.

The extent to which these changes were associated with movements of people has been a mystery in Central Asia and South Asia in part because of a paucity of ancient DNA. We report genome-wide data from 523 individuals from Central Asia and northernmost South Asia from the Mesolithic period onward (<a href="#R1" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R1">1</a>), and co-analyze them with previously published ancient DNA from across Eurasia and with data from diverse present-day people.</p> <p id="P15">In Central Asia, we studied the extent to which the spread of farming and herding practices from the Iranian plateau to the desert oases south of the Steppe was accompanied by movements of people or adoption of ideas from neighboring groups (<a href="#R2" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R2">2</a>–<a href="#R4" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R4">4</a>). For the urban communities of the Bactria Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) in the Bronze Age, we assessed whether the people buried in its cemeteries descended directly from earlier smaller scale food producers, and also documented their genetic heterogeneity (<a href="#R5" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R5">5</a>). Further to the north and east, we showed that the Early Bronze Age spreads of crops and domesticated animals between southwest Asia and eastern Eurasia along the Inner Asian Mountain Corridor (<a href="#R6" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R6">6</a>) was accompanied by movements of people. Finally, we examined when descendants of the Yamnaya, who spread across the Eurasian Steppe beginning around 3300 BCE (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a>–<a href="#R9" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R9">9</a>), began to appear in Central Asia south of the Steppe.</p> <p id="P16">In northernmost South Asia, we report a time transect of more than one hundred individuals beginning ~1200 BCE, which we co-analyze along with modern data from hundreds of present-day South Asian groups, as well as ancient DNA from neighboring regions (<a href="#R10" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R10">10</a>). Previous analyses place the majority of present-day South Asians along a genetic cline (<a href="#R11" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R11">11</a>) that can be modeled as having arisen from mixture of two highly divergent populations after 4000 years ago: the Ancestral North Indians (<em>ANI</em>) who harbor large proportions of ancestry related to West Eurasians, and the Ancestral South Indians <em>(ASI)</em> who are much less closely related to West Eurasians (<a href="#R12" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R12">12</a>). We leveraged ancient DNA to place constraints on the genetic structure of the <em>ANI</em> and <em>ASI</em> and, in conjunction with other lines of evidence, to make inferences about when and where they formed. By modeling modern South Asians along with ancient individuals from sites in cultural contact with the IVC, we inferred a likely genetic signature for people of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) which reached its maturity in northwestern South Asia 2600–1900 CE. We also examined when Steppe pastoralist-derived ancestry (<a href="#R9" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R9">9</a>) mixed with groups in South Asia, and placed constraints on whether Steppe-related ancestry or Iranian-related ancestry is more plausibly associated with the spread of Indo-European languages in South Asia.</p></section><section id="S5"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Dataset and Analysis Strategy</h2> <p id="P17">We generated whole-genome ancient DNA data from 523 previously unsampled ancient individuals and increased the quality of data from 19 previously sequenced individuals. The individuals derive from three broad geographical regions: 182 from Iran and the southern part of Central Asia that we call Turan (present-day Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan), 209 from the Steppe and northern forest zone mostly in present-day Kazakhstan and Russia, and 132 from northern Pakistan. The ancient individuals are from 1) Mesolithic, Copper, Bronze and Iron Age Iran and Turan (12000–1 BCE from 19 sites) including the Bactria Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC); 2) early ceramic-using hunter-gatherers from the western Siberian forest zone who we show represent a point along an early Holocene cline of North Eurasians and who emerge as a valuable source population for modeling the ancestry of Central and South Asians (6400–3900 BCE from 2 sites); 3) Copper Age and Bronze Age pastoralists from the central Steppe, including from Bronze Age Kazakhstan (3400–800 BCE from 56 sites); and 4) northernmost South Asia, specifically Late Bronze Age, Iron Age and historical settlements in the Swat and Chitral districts of present-day Pakistan (~1200 BCE - 1700 CE from 12 sites) (<a href="#F1" class="usa-link">Fig. 1</a>, <a href="#SD2" class="usa-link">Table S1</a>, (<a href="#R1" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R1">1</a>, <a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>)).

We further clustered individuals that were genetically indistinguishable within these groupings, and labeled outliers with ancestry that was significantly different from others at the same site and time period (<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>). For our primary analyses, we did not include individuals that were the sole representatives of their ancestry profiles, thereby reducing the chance that our conclusions were being driven by single individuals with contaminated DNA or misattributed archaeological context. This also ensured that each major analysis grouping was represented by many more SNPs that our minimum cutoff of 15,000 per individual. Thus, all but one analysis cluster included at least one individual covered by >200,000 SNPs, sufficient to support high resolution analysis of population history (<a href="#R19" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R19">19</a>) (the exception is a pair of genetically similar outliers from the site of Gonur who are not the focus of any main analyses). We use <em>Italic</em> font to refer to genetic groupings and plain font to indicate archaeological cultures or sites.</p> <p id="P19">To make inferences about population structure, we began by carrying out principal component analysis (PCA) projecting ancient individuals onto the patterns of genetic variation in present-day Eurasians, a procedure that allowed us to obtain meaningful constraints on ancestry even of ancient individuals with limited coverage because each SNP from each individual can be compared to a large reference data set (<a href="#R34" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R34">34</a>–<a href="#R36" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R36">36</a>). This revealed three major clusters strongly correlating to the geographic regions of the Forest Zone/Steppe, Iran/Turan, and South Asia (<a href="#F1" class="usa-link">Fig. 1</a>), a pattern we replicate in ADMIXTURE unsupervised clustering (<a href="#R37" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R37">37</a>). To test if groups of ancient individuals were heterogeneous in their ancestry, we used <em>f</em><sub><em>4</em></sub>-statistics to measure whether different partitions of these groups into two subgroups differed in their degree of allele sharing to a third group (using a distantly related outgroup as a baseline). We also used <em>f</em><sub><em>3</em></sub>-statistics to test for admixture (<a href="#R33" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R33">33</a>). To model the ancestry of each group, we used <em>qpAdm,</em> which evaluates whether a tested group is consistent with deriving from a pre-specified number of source populations (relative to a set of outgroups), and if so estimates proportions of ancestry (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a>). We first used <em>qpAdm</em> to attempt to model groups from the Copper Age and afterward as a mixture of seven “distal” sources related deeply to pre-Copper Age or distantly related modern populations for which we have data (<a href="#BX1" class="usa-link">Box 1</a>). In this paper we use the term ‘farmers’ to refer to people who either cultivated crops, or herded animals, or both; this definition covers not only large settled communities but also smaller and probably less sedentary communities like the early herders of the Zagros Mountains of western Iran from the site of Ganj Dareh. The latter kept domesticated animals but did not cultivate crops, and are a key reference population for this study as they had a distinctive ancestry profile that spread widely after the Neolithic (<a href="#R9" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R9">9</a>, <a href="#R24" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R24">24</a>, <a href="#R38" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R38">38</a>). We also identified “proximal” models for each group as mixtures of temporally preceding groups (<a href="#R10" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R10">10</a>). We implemented an algorithm, <em>DATES,</em> for estimating the age of population mixtures by measuring the average size of segments of ancestry derive from the admixing populations, an approach whose reliability we verified by computer simulation (<a href="#R10" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R10">10</a>) and that is an improvement relative to methods not optimized for analysis of ancient DNA (<a href="#R33" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R33">33</a>, <a href="#R39" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R39">39</a>) (the approach’s robustness reflects the fact that it relies for its molecular clock on the accurately measured rate of meiotic recombination in humans (<a href="#R40" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R40">40</a>)). In <a href="#BX2" class="usa-link">Box 2</a>, we summarize the findings of these analyses (we use the same headings in <a href="#BX2" class="usa-link">Box 2</a> and the main text to allow cross-referencing), while the <a href="#SD1" class="usa-link">Online Data Visualizer</a> (<a href="#R1" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R1">1</a>) allows an interactive exploration of the data.</p> <section class="bt xbox font-sm" id="BX1"><h3 class="obj_head">Box 1.

This shows that North Eurasian-related ancestry impacted Turan well before the spread of descendants of Yamnaya Steppe pastoralists into the region. We can exclude the possibility that the Yamnaya were the source of this North Eurasian-related ancestry, as they had more <em>EEHG-</em>than <em>WSHG-</em>related ancestry, and also carried high frequencies of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup type U5a as well as Y chromosome haplogroup types R1b or R1a not represented in Iran and Turan in this period ((<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>), Table S93-S94).</p></section><section id="S8"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">People of the BMAC Were Not a Major Source of Ancestry for South Asians</h3> <p id="P21">From Bronze Age Iran and Turan, we obtained genome-wide data for 84 ancient individuals (3000–1400 BCE) who lived in four urban sites of the Bactria Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) and its immediate successors.

We infer three primary genetic sources: early Iranian farmer-related ancestry (~60–65%), and smaller proportions of Anatolian farmer- (~20–25%) and <em>WSHG</em>-related ancestry (~10%). Unlike preceding Copper Age individuals from Turan, people of the <em>BMAC</em> cluster also harbored an additional 2–5% ancestry related (deeply in time) to Andamanese Hunter-Gatherers (<em>AHG</em>). This evidence of north-to-south gene flow from South Asia is consistent with the archaeological evidence of cultural contacts between the Indus Valley Civilization and the BMAC and the existence of an IVC trading colony in northern Afghanistan (although we lack ancient DNA from that site) (<a href="#R45" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R45">45</a>), and stands in contrast to our <em>qpAdm</em> analyses showing that a reciprocal north-to-south spread is undetectable. Specifically, our analyses reject the <em>BMAC</em> and the people who lived before them in Turan as plausible major sources of ancestry for diverse ancient and modern South Asians by showing that their ratio of Anatolian farmer-related to Iranian farmer-related ancestry is too high for them to be a plausible source for South Asians (p<0.0001, χ<sup>2</sup> test; (<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>), <a href="#SD1" class="usa-link">Fig S50</a>–<a href="#SD1" class="usa-link">S51</a>).

However, that study only had access to 2 samples from this period compared to the 36 we report with this study, and it lacked ancient DNA from individuals from the BMAC period or from any ancient South Asians.

Without ancient DNA from individuals buried in IVC cultural contexts, we cannot make a definitive statement that the genetic gradient represented by these 11 outlier individuals, which we call the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em>, was also an ancestry profile common in the IVC. Nevertheless, our result provides six circumstantial lines of evidence for this hypothesis. (i) These individuals had no detectable Anatolian farmer-related ancestry suggesting they descend from groups further east along the Anatolia-to-Iran cline of decreasing Anatolian farmer-related ancestry than any individuals we sampled from this period. (ii) All 11 outliers had elevated proportions of <em>AHG-</em>related ancestry, and two carried Y chromosome haplogroup H1a1d2 which today is primarily found in southern India.

While we do not have ancient DNA data from either of the two statistically reconstructed source populations for the <em>Modern Indian Cline,</em> the <em>ASI</em> or the <em>ANI</em>, in what follows we co-analyze our ancient DNA data in conjunction with modern data to characterize the exact ancestry of the <em>ASI</em>, and to provide constraints on the <em>ANI</em>.</p></section><section id="S17"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">The ASI and ANI Arose as Indus Periphery Cline People Mixed with Groups to the North & East</h3> <p id="P34">To gain insight into the formation of the <em>ASI,</em> we extrapolated to the least West Eurasian-related theoretical extreme of the <em>Modern Indian Cline</em> by setting the <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> ancestry proportion to zero in our model. We estimate a minimum of 55% ancestry from people on the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> (by representing the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> by the individual on it with the most Iranian farmer-related ancestry, which we call <em>Indus_Periphery_West</em>), and modeling the reminder of the ancestry as deriving from an <em>AHG-</em>related group (<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>). We find that several tribal groups from southern India are consistent with ~0% <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> ancestry (<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>). The fact that these individuals match the most extreme possible position for the <em>ASI</em> not only reveals that nearly direct descendants of the <em>ASI</em> live today in South Asia, but also allows us to make a precise statement about the ancestry profile of the <em>ASI</em>. In particular, the fact that they harbor substantial Iranian farmer-related ancestry (via the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em>), disproves earlier suggestions that the <em>ASI</em> might not have any ancestry related to West Eurasians (<a href="#R11" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R11">11</a>). Using the <em>DATES</em> software, we estimate an average of 107 ± 11 generations since admixture of the Iranian farmer-related and <em>AHG-</em>related groups in one of these groups: <em>Palliyar</em>. This corresponds to a 95% confidence interval of 1700–400 BCE assuming 28 years per generation (<a href="#R53" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R53">53</a>). Thus, the <em>ASI</em> were note fully formed at the time of the IVC, and instead must have continued to form through mixture after its decline as material culture typical of the IVC spread eastward (<a href="#R54" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R54">54</a>) and <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> ancestry mixed with people of less West Eurasian relatedness.</p> <p id="P35">We also obtained additional evidence for a late (Bronze Age) formation of the <em>ASI</em> by building an admixture graph using <em>qpGraph,</em> co-modeling <em>Palliyar</em> and <em>Juang</em> (an Austroasiatic-speaking group in India with low West Eurasian-relatedness) (<a href="#F5" class="usa-link">Fig. 5</a>). The graph fits the component of South Asian ancestry with no West Eurasian relatedness (<em>AASI -</em> “Ancestral Ancient South Asians”) as an Asian lineage that split off around the time that East Asian, Andaman Islander, and Australian aboriginal ancestors separated from each other, consistent with the hypothesis that eastern and southern Asian lineages derives from an eastward spread that in a short span gave rise to lineages leading to <em>AASI</em>, East Asians, Andamanese Hunter Gatherers, and <em>Australians</em> (<a href="#R55" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R55">55</a>) (<a href="#F5" class="usa-link">Fig. 5</a>). The <em>Juang</em> cannot be fit through a mixture of <em>ASI</em> ancestry and ancestry related to Austroasiatic language speakers, and instead can only be fit by modeling additional ancestry from <em>AASI,</em> showing that at the time Austroasiatic groups formed in South Asia, groups with less Iranian farming-related ancestry than in the <em>ASI</em> were also present. Austroasiatic languages are hypothesized to have spread into South Asia in the 3<sup>rd</sup> millennium BCE (based on hill cultivation systems hypothesized to be associated with the spread of Austroasiatic languages (<a href="#R42" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R42">42</a>), and thus the ancestry profile of the Juang provides an independent line of evidence for a late (Bronze Age and plausibly post-IVC) formation of the <em>ASI</em>.</p> <figure class="fig xbox font-sm" id="F5"><h4 class="obj_head">Fig. 5.

However, the admixture graph does highlight several key findings of the study, including the deep separation of the <em>AASI</em> from other Eurasian lineages, and the fact that some Austroasiatic-speaking groups in South Asia (e.g. Juang) harbor ancestry from a South Asian group with a higher ratio of <em>AASI-</em>related to Iranian farmer-related ancestry than any groups on the <em>Modern Indian Cline</em>, thus revealing that groups with substantial Iranian farmer-related ancestry were not ubiquitous in peninsular South Asia in the 3<sup>rd</sup> millennium BCE when Austroasiatic languages likely spread across the subcontinent.</p></figcaption></figure><p id="P36">To shed light on the formation of the statistically reconstructed <em>ANI</em>, we return to the Swat Valley time transect that formed the <em>Steppe Cline</em> after 2000 BCE. The <em>Modern Indian Cline</em> intersects the <em>Steppe Cline</em> at a position close to the position of the <em>Kalash,</em> the group in northwest South Asia with the highest <em>ANI</em> ancestry proportion (<a href="#R56" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R56">56</a>) (<a href="#F4" class="usa-link">Fig. 4</a>). The <em>DATES-</em>based estimate of admixture in the <em>Kalash</em> is 110 ± 12 generations (<a href="#R56" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R56">56</a>), suggesting a post-IVC date of formation of the <em>ANI</em> paralleling the post-IVC date of formation of the <em>ASI</em>. Further evidence for a post-IVC integration of Steppe ancestry into South Asia comes from ancient individuals on the <em>Steppe Cline</em> (along which the <em>ANI</em> could theoretically have formed) whose admixture date for Steppe ancestry is also post-IVC. Specifically, we estimate the date of admixture into the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age individuals from the Swat District of northernmost South Asia to be on average 26 generations before the date that they lived, corresponding to a 95% confidence interval of ~1900–1500 BCE. This time scale for the arrival of Steppe ancestry in the region is consistent with our observation of 6 outlier individuals in Turan who lived between ~2000–1500 BCE and who carry this ancestry in mixed form (<a href="#F2" class="usa-link">Fig. 2</a>), and with our finding that the R1a Y chromosome associated with <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> ancestry in South Asia is also present in the Swat District Late Bronze and Iron Age individuals (2 copies).</p> <p id="P37">Taken together, these results show neither of the two primary source populations of the <em>Modern Indian Cline,</em> the <em>ANI</em> and <em>ASI,</em> was fully formed before the turn of the 2<sup>nd</sup> millennium BCE.</p></section><section id="S18"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Steppe Ancestry in South Asia is Primarily from Males and Disproportionately High in Brahmins</h3> <p id="P38">In the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age individuals of the Swat Valley, we detect a significantly lower proportion of Steppe admixture on the Y chromosome (only 5% of the 44 Y chromosomes of the R1a-Z93 subtype that occurs at 100% frequency in the <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> males) compared to 20% on the autosomes (Z = −3.9 for a deficiency from males under the simplifying assumption that all the Y chromosomes are unrelated to each other since admixture and thus statistically independent), documenting how Steppe ancestry was incorporated into these groups largely through females (<a href="#F4" class="usa-link">Fig. 4</a>). However, sex bias varied in different parts of South Asia, as in present-day South Asians we observe a reverse pattern of excess <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA-</em>related ancestry on the Y chromosome compared to the autosomes (Z = 2.7 for an excess from males) (<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>, <a href="#R57" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R57">57</a>) (<a href="#F4" class="usa-link">Fig. 4</a>). Thus, the introduction of lineages from Steppe pastoralists into the ancestors of present-day South Asians was mediated mostly by males. This bias is similar in direction to what has been documented for the introduction of Steppe ancestry into Iberia in far western Europe, although the bias is less extreme than reported in that case (<a href="#R58" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R58">58</a>).</p> <p id="P39">Our analysis of Steppe ancestry also identified 6 groups with a highly significantly elevated ratio of <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA-</em>to-<em>Indus_Periphery_West-</em>related ancestry compared to the expectation for the model at the Z < −4.5 level. The strongest two signals were in <em>Brahmin_Tiwari</em> (Z = −7.9) and <em>Bhumihar_Bihar</em> (Z = −7.0). More generally, there is a notable enrichment in groups that consider themselves to be of traditionally priestly status: 5 of the 6 groups with Z < −4.5 were <em>Brahmins</em> or <em>Bhumihars</em> even though they comprise only 7–11% of the 140 groups analyzed (p<10<sup>−12</sup> by a χ<sup>2</sup> test assuming all the groups evolved independently). We caution that this is not a formal test as there is an unknown degree of shared ancestry among groups since they formed by mixture, and because our decisions about which groups to include in the analysis was not made in a blinded way; for example, we excluded four “Catholic Brahmin” groups with strong evidence of substantial shared ancestry in the last millennium (<a href="#R10" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R10">10</a>) which makes them not statistically independent (<a href="#SD2" class="usa-link">Table S5</a>, <a href="#F4" class="usa-link">Fig. 4</a> (<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>)). Nevertheless, the fact that traditional custodians of liturgy in Sanskrit (Brahmins) tend to have more Steppe ancestry than is predicted by a simple <em>ASI-ANI</em> mixture model provides an independent line of evidence, beyond the distinctive ancestry profile shared between South Asia and Bronze Eastern Europe mirroring the shared features of Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian languages (<a href="#R59" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R59">59</a>), for a Steppe origin for South Asia’s Indo-European languages prior to ~2000 BCE.</p></section></section><section id="S19"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Discussion</h2> <p id="P40">Our analysis reveals that the ancestry of the greater South Asian region in the Holocene was characterized by at least three genetic gradients. Prior to ~2000 BCE, there was the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> consisting of people with different proportions of Iranian farmer- and <em>AASI-</em>related ancestry, which we hypothesize was a characteristic feature of many IVC people. The <em>ASI</em> formed after 2000 BCE as a mixture of a point along this cline with South Asians with higher proportions of <em>AASI-</em>related ancestry. Between about 2000 and 1000 BCE, people of largely <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> ancestry expanded toward South Asia, mixing with people along the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> to form the <em>Steppe Cline.</em> Multiple points along the <em>Steppe Cline</em> are represented by individuals of the Swat Valley time transect and statistically we find that the <em>ANI,</em> one of the two primary source population of South Asia, can fit along the <em>Steppe Cline</em>. After 2000 BCE, mixtures of mixed populations—the <em>ASI</em> and <em>ANI</em>—mixed themselves to form the <em>Modern Indian Cline,</em> which is represented today in diverse groups in South Asia (<a href="#F4" class="usa-link">Fig. 4</a>).</p> <p id="P41">Our finding based on admixture linkage disequilibrium ((<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13">13</a>), <a href="#SD1" class="usa-link">Fig S59</a>) that the mixture that formed the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> occurred by ~5400–3700 BCE—at least a millennium before the formation of the mature IVC—raises two possibilities. One is that Iranian farmer-related ancestry in this group was characteristic of the Indus Valley hunter-gatherers in the same way as it was characteristic of northern Caucasus and Iranian plateau hunter-gatherers. The presence of such ancestry in hunter-gatherers from Belt and Hotu Caves in northeastern Iran increases the plausibility that this ancestry could have existed in hunter-gatherers further east. An alternative is that this ancestry reflects movement into South Asia from the Iranian plateau of people accompanying the eastward spread of wheat and barley agriculture and goat and sheep herding as early as the 7<sup>th</sup> millennium BCE and forming early farmer settlements such as those at Mehrgarh in the hills flanking the Indus Valley (<a href="#R60" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R60">60</a>, <a href="#R61" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R61">61</a>). However, this is in tension with the observation that the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> people had little if any Anatolian farmer-related ancestry, which is strongly correlated with the eastward spread of crop-based agriculture in our dataset. Thus, while our analysis supports the idea that eastward spread of Anatolian farmer-related ancestry was associated with the spread of farming to the Iranian plateau and Turan, our results do not support large-scale movements of ancestry from the Near East into South Asia following ~6000 BCE (the time after which all ancient individuals from Iran in our data have Anatolian farmer-related ancestry even though South Asians have very little). Languages in pre-state societies usually spread through movements of people (<a href="#R62" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R62">62</a>), and thus the absence of much Anatolian farmer-related ancestry in the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> suggests that the Indo-European languages spoken in South Asia today are unlikely to owe their origin to the spread of farming from West Asia.</p> <p id="P42">Our results not only provide negative evidence against an Iranian plateau origin for Indo-European languages in South Asia, but also positive evidence for the theory that these languages spread from the Steppe. While ancient DNA has documented westward movements of Steppe pastoralist ancestry providing a likely conduit for the spread of many Indo-European languages to Europe (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a>, <a href="#R8" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R8">8</a>), the chain-of-transmission into South Asia has been unclear because of a lack of relevant ancient DNA. Our observation of the spread of <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> ancestry into South Asia in the first half of the 2<sup>nd</sup> millennium BCE provides this evidence, and is particularly striking as it provides a plausible genetic explanation for the linguistic similarities between the Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian sub-families of Indo-European, which despite their vast geographic separation, share the Satem innovation and Ruki sound laws (<a href="#R63" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R63">63</a>). If the spread of people from the Steppe in this period was a conduit for the spread of South Asian Indo-European languages, then it is striking that there are so few material culture similarities between the central Steppe and South Asia in the Middle to Late Bronze Age (i.e. after the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE). Indeed, the material culture differences are so substantial that some archaeologists recognize no evidence of a connection. However, lack of material culture connections does not provide evidence against spread of genes, as has been demonstrated in the case of the Beaker Complex, which originated largely in western Europe, but in Central Europe was associated with skeletons that harbored ~50% ancestry related to Yamnaya Steppe pastoralists (<a href="#R18" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R18">18</a>). Thus, in Europe we have an unambiguous example of people with ancestry from the Steppe making profound demographic impacts on the regions into which they spread while adopting important aspects of local material culture. Our findings document a similar phenomenon in South Asia, with the locally acculturated population harboring up to ~20% <em>Western_Steppe_EMBA-</em>derived ancestry according to our modeling (via <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> groups) (<a href="#F3" class="usa-link">Fig. 3</a>). Our analysis also provides a second line of evidence for a linkage between Steppe ancestry and Indo-European languages. Steppe ancestry enrichment in groups that view themselves as being of traditionally priestly status is striking as some of these groups including Brahmins are traditional custodians of literature composed in early Sanskrit. A possible explanation is that the influx of <em>Central_Steppe_MLBA</em> ancestry into South Asia in the mid-2nd millennium BCE created a meta-population with varied proportions of Steppe ancestry, with people of more Steppe ancestry (or admixing less with <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> groups) tending to be more strongly associated with Indo-European culture. Due to strong endogamy, which kept groups generally isolated from neighbors for thousands of years (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a>), some of this population substructure persists in South Asia among present-day custodians of Indo-European texts.</p> <p id="P43">Our findings also shed light on the origin of its second-largest language group in South Asia, Dravidian. The strong correlation between <em>ASI</em> ancestry and present-day Dravidian languages suggests that the <em>ASI,</em> which we have shown formed as groups with ancestry typical of the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> moved south and east after the decline of the IVC to mix with groups with more <em>AASI</em> ancestry, most likely spoke an early Dravidian language. A possible scenario combining genetic data with archaeology and linguistics is that proto-Dravidian was spread by peoples of the IVC along with the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> ancestry component of the <em>ASI</em>. Non-genetic support for an IVC origin for Dravidian languages includes the present-day geographic distribution of these languages (in southern India and southwestern Pakistan), and a suggestion that some symbols on ancient Indus Valley seals denote Dravidian words or names (<a href="#R64" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R64">64</a>, <a href="#R65" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R65">65</a>). An alternative possibility is that proto-Dravidian was spread by the approximately half of the <em>ASI’s</em> ancestry that was not from the <em>Indus Periphery Cline,</em> and instead derived from the south and the east (peninsular South Asia). The southern scenario is consistent with reconstructions of Proto-Dravidian terms for flora and fauna unique to peninsular India (<a href="#R66" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R66">66</a>, <a href="#R67" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R67">67</a>).</p> <p id="P44">We finally highlight a remarkable parallel between the prehistory of South Asia and Europe. In both regions there were exchanges between people related to Southwest Asian people and local people; mixtures of these groups led to the <em>Indus Periphery Cline</em> in South Asia and the <em>European Cline</em> in Europe. In both subcontinents, people arriving in the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> millennia BCE who descended from mixtures of people related to Yamnaya Steppe pastoralists and European farmers mixed further with local populations: in South Asia forming the <em>ANI,</em> and in Europe forming groups like that of the Beaker Complex. In both cases, mixtures of these mixed populations—those with Steppe pastoralist-related admixture and those without—drive the modern ancestry clines in both regions (<a href="#F3" class="usa-link">Fig. 3</a>). However, there are also profound differences between the Bronze Age and Neolithic spreads of ancestry across the two subcontinents. One is that the maximum proportion of local ancestry is higher in South Asia (<em>AASI</em> ancestry of up to ~60%) than Europe (<em>WEHG</em> ancestry of up to ~30%) (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a>), which could reflect stronger ecological or cultural barriers to the spreads of people in South Asia than in Europe, allowing the previously established groups more time to adapt and mix with incoming groups. A second difference is the smaller proportion of Steppe pastoralist-related ancestry in South Asia than in Europe, its later arrival by ~500–1000 years, and a lower male sex bias in the admixture, factors that help to explain the continued persistence of a large fraction of non-Indo-European speakers amongst people of present-day South Asia today. The situation in South Asia is somewhat reminiscent of Mediterranean Europe where the proportion of Steppe ancestry is considerably lower than that of northern and central Europe (<a href="#F3" class="usa-link">Fig. 3</a>), and where many non-Indo European languages are attested in classical times (<a href="#R68" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R68">68</a>). Further studies of ancient DNA from South Asia and the linguistically related Iranian world will extend and add nuance to the model presented here.</p></section><section id="S20"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Materials and Methods</h2> <section id="S21"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Ancient DNA Laboratory Work.</h3> <p id="P45">For the skeletal elements that we were not able to transport from field sites, we drilled directly into bone, for the most part focusing on inner ear portions of petrous bones using a method for sampling from the cranial base (CBD) (<a href="#R70" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R70">70</a>).

We enriched all libraries both for sequences overlapping mitochondrial DNA (<a href="#R76" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R76">76</a>), and for sequences overlapping about 1.24 million nuclear targets. We carried out two rounds of enrichment for these targets (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a>, <a href="#R19" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R19">19</a>, <a href="#R20" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R20">20</a>) either in two independent capture experiments or together. After indexing the enrichment products in a way that assigned a unique index and combination to each library (<a href="#R77" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R77">77</a>), we sequenced the enriched products on an Illumina NextSeq500 instrument using v.2 150 cycle kits for 2×76 cycles and 2×7 cycles (2×8 for single-stranded libraries), and sequenced up to the point that the expected number of additional SNPs covered per 100 additional read pairs sequenced was less than about 1. We also shotgun sequenced double-stranded libraries to assess the fraction of sequences that mapped to the human genome.</p> <p id="P47">To analyze the data, we began by sorting the read pairs by searching for the expected identification indices and barcodes for each library, allowing up to one mismatch from the expected sequence in each case. We removed adapters and merged together sequences requiring a 15 base pair overlap (allowing up to one mismatch), taking the highest quality base in the merged segment to represent the allele. We mapped the resulting sequences to the <em>hg19</em> human reference (GRCh37, the version used for the 1000 Genomes project (<a href="#R78" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R78">78</a>)) using the <em>samse</em> command of BWA (<a href="#R79" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R79">79</a>) (version 0.6.1). We removed duplicate sequences (mapping to the same position in the genome and having the same barcode pair), and merged libraries corresponding to the same sample (merging across samples when the genetic data revealed multiple samples from the same individual). For each individual, we restricted to sequences passing filters (not overlapping known insertion/deletion polymorphisms, and having a minimum mapping quality 10), and trimmed two nucleotides from the end of each sequence to reduce deamination artifacts. We also further restricted to sequence data with a minimum base quality of 20. To represent each individual at each SNP position, we randomly selected a single sequence (if one was available).</p> <p id="P48">For Darra-i-Kur, we analyzed a single-stranded DNA library (L5082) at the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA) in Leipzig, Germany, generated as part of a previous study (<a href="#R80" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R80">80</a>). The previous study only analyzed mitochondrial DNA, and for the current study, we enriched the library for sequences overlapping the same panel of about 1.2 million nuclear targets using two rounds of hybridization capture (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7">7</a>, <a href="#R19" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R19">19</a>, <a href="#R20" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R20">20</a>). We sequenced the enriched libraries on 2 lanes of an Illumina HiSeq2500 platform in a double index configuration (2×76 cycles) (<a href="#R77" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R77">77</a>), and we determined alleles using <em>FreeIbis</em> (<a href="#R81" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R81">81</a>). We merged overlapping paired-end and trimmed using <em>leeHom</em> (<a href="#R82" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R82">82</a>). We used BWA to align the sequences to the human reference genome <em>hg19</em> (GRCh37) (<a href="#R79" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R79">79</a>). We retained sequences showing a perfect match to the expected index combination for downstream analyses.</p> <p id="P49">We assessed evidence for ancient DNA authenticity by measuring the rate of damage in the first nucleotide, flagging individuals as potentially contaminated if they had less than a 3% cytosine-to-thymine substitution rate in the first nucleotide for a UDG-treated library and less than a 10% substitution rate for a non-UDG-treated library. We used <em>contamMix</em> to test for contamination based on polymorphism in mitochondrial DNA (<a href="#R83" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R83">83</a>), and ANGSD to test for contamination based on polymorphism on the X chromosome in males (<a href="#R84" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R84">84</a>).</p></section><section id="S22"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Radiocarbon dating.</h3> <p id="P50">We generated 269 radiocarbon (<sup>14</sup>C) dates on bone using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) (<a href="#SD2" class="usa-link">Table S3</a>). Most of these (n=242) were generated at the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) Radiocarbon Laboratory, and here we excerpt a description of the sample preparation methodology at PSU (the methods used at the other laboratories are publicly available and we refer readers to the literature for those methodologies). Possible contaminants (conservants and adhesives) were removed by sonicating all bone samples in successive washes of ACS grade methanol, acetone, and dichloromethane for 30 minutes each at room temperature, followed by three washes in Nanopure water to rinse. Bone collagen for <sup>14</sup>C was extracted and purified using a modified Longin method with ultrafiltration (>30kDa gelatin; (<a href="#R85" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R85">85</a>)). If collagen yields were low and amino acids poorly preserved we used a modified XAD process (XAD Amino Acids; (<a href="#R86" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R86">86</a>)). For quality assurance we measured carbon and nitrogen concentrations and C/N ratios of all extracted and purified collagen/amino acid samples with a Costech elemental analyzer (ECS 4010). We evaluated quality based on % crude gelatin yield, %C, %N and C/N ratios before AMS <sup>14</sup>C dating. C/N ratios for all directly radiocarbon samples fell between 2.9 and 3.6, indicating excellent preservation (<a href="#R87" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R87">87</a>). Collagen/amino acid samples (~2.1 mg) were then combusted for 3 h at 900°C in vacuum-sealed quartz tubes with CuO and Ag wires.

Graphite samples were pressed into targets in Al boats and loaded on a target wheel with OX-1 (oxalic acid) standards, known-age bone secondaries, and a <sup>14</sup>C-free Pleistocene whale blank. All 14C measurements were made on a modified National Electronics Corporation compact spectrometer with a 0.5 MV accelerator (NEC 1.5SDH-1). The <sup>14</sup>C ages were corrected for mass-dependent fractionation with measured δ<sup>13</sup>C values (<a href="#R89" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R89">89</a>) and compared with samples of Pleistocene whale bone (backgrounds, 48,000 14C BP), late Holocene bison bone (~1,850 14C BP), late 1800s CE cow bone, and OX-2 oxalic acid standards. All calibrated <sup>14</sup>C ages were calculated using OxCal version 4.3 (Ramsey and Lee 2013) using the IntCal13 northern hemisphere curve (<a href="#R90" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R90">90</a>), and we quote 95% confidence intervals (2-sigma ranges).</p></section><section id="S23"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Principal component analysis (PCA)</h3> <p id="P51">We carried out PCA using the <em>smartpca</em> package of <em>EIGENSOFT</em> 7.2.1 (<a href="#R36" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R36">36</a>).

We used the inbreed:YES parameter to compute <em>f</em><sub><em>3</em></sub>-statistics as a test for admixture with an ancient population as a target, with all ancient genomes as sources. Using the f4Mode:YES parameter in <em>qpDstat,</em> we also computed two sets of <em>f</em><sub><em>4</em></sub>-symmetry statistics to evaluate if pairs of populations are consistent with forming a clade relative to a comparison population. The first is a “Two-population comparison” statistic where we compare all possible pairs of ancient groups (the <em>Test</em> populations) to a panel of populations that encompasses diverse pre-Copper Age and more widespread genetic variation. Thus, we compute a statistic of the form <em>f</em><sub><em>4</em></sub>(<em>Test 1, Test 2; Pre-Copper Age, Mbuti</em>). The second is a “Pre-Copper Age affinity” statistic that compares each ancient group in turn against all possible pairs of Pre-Copper Age populations, using statistics of the form <em>f</em><sub><em>4</em></sub>(<em>Pre-Copper Age 1</em>, <em>Pre-Copper Age 2</em>; <em>Test</em>, <em>Mbuti</em>).</p></section><section id="S26"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Modeling admixture history</h3> <p id="P54">We used <em>qpAdm</em> (<a href="#R33" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R33">33</a>) in the ADMIXTOOLS software package to estimate the proportions of ancestry in a <em>Test</em> population deriving from a mixture of <em>N</em> ‘reference’ populations by leveraging (but not explicitly modeling) shared genetic drift with a set of ‘Outgroup’ populations.

We jointly modeled these estimates using a bivariate normal model (forcing the three proportions to sum to 100%) and estimated the mean and covariance of the two parameters using maximum likelihood. With this inferred matrix, we tested whether the cline could be modeled by a mixture of two primary source populations. First, we tested if the covariance matrix is consistent with being singular, implying that knowledge of the proportion of ancestry from one of the mixing components was consistent with being fully predictive of the other two, as expected for two-way mixture. Second, if we were able to establish that this was the case, we examined the difference between the expected and observed ratios of the ancestry proportions of the analyzed groups within this generative model by fitting all the groups simultaneously.
