Indian Ethnicities with High Steppe Ancestry
Ror: The Ror, a community primarily from Haryana and parts of Punjab in Northwest India, have been identified as having the highest steppe ancestry among Indian populations. Studies indicate they possess a significant proportion of Steppe_MLBA ancestry, estimated at around 20–30%, and show close genetic affinity to West Eurasian populations, likely due to genetic continuity from Bronze Age migrations. Their genetic profile aligns closely with ancient individuals from the Swat Valley, suggesting a strong connection to early Indo-Aryan populations.
Jat: The Jat, another prominent group from Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan, also exhibit high steppe ancestry, slightly lower than the Ror but still significant, with estimates of Steppe_MLBA ancestry ranging from 15–25%. Their genetic makeup includes a notable R1a1 haplogroup frequency, associated with Indo-Aryan migrations. Jats are often mentioned alongside Ror for their elevated West Eurasian affinity.
Brahmin (Northern): Brahmin groups, particularly from northern India (e.g., Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab), show elevated steppe ancestry, especially in male lineages, with R1a1 haplogroup frequencies reaching up to 40–50% in some communities.
