Scientists Reveal The Real Genetic Origin Of Nepal — It's Not What You Think

Scientists are revealing a much more complicated genetic history of Nepal than the simple idea that the country is just a mixture of Tibet and India. In this video, we explore the ancient DNA and population genetics behind Nepal's diverse communities, including the Sherpa, Tamang, Gurung, Newar, Rai, Magar, Terai populations, and the Raute. Ancient genomes from Mustang and Manang reveal a deep connection to populations related to the Tibetan Plateau, while genetic evidence from the middle hills and southern lowlands reveals multiple migration routes and layers of South Asian and East Asian ancestry. #Nepal #NepalDNA #Genetics #AncientDNA #NepalHistory #Sherpa #TibetanAncestry #Himalayas #HumanEvolution #PopulationGenetics #AncientHistory #DNA #Denisovan #SouthAsianHistory #AsianHistory
