The Curious Case of Bengalis

[mriosip]

View attachment 4304751

This is a South Asian genetic PCA plot, with a focus on specifically Indians, Sri Lankans and Bengalis. You appear here on the basis of DNA.

If you look at the picture, you will notice that Bengalis are pulled away from other Indians (especially Dravidians, since Gujaratis and Punjabis are North Indians) and Sri Lankans. This is because they have significant East Asian admixture from a Tibetan source that Indians (both South Indians and North Indians) and Sri Lankans lack.

In other words, the only reason that Bengalis aren't clustering with Indians and Sri Lankans is because they have East Asian DNA. If it weren't for that admixture, they'd cluster exactly with Indians and Sri Lankans.

I'm not coping. I just can't see the point you're trying to make. By the same logic Punjab's and Pashtuns are Dravidians pulled apart by another admixture.

You are definitely coping because you're trying to argue against genetic evidence, JFL. Also, it does apply to some Punjabis; but not all. Unlike Bengalis, whom it all applies to (except for Bengali Brahmins, because Brahmins came from elsewhere). This is about South Asian ethnic groups, not other groups. Not sure why you're bringing others up, might as well bring up Dutch and English people at this point if you're going to keep reaching.

So if you removed east Asian component we would be Dravidian? That's total cope you can find many Bengalis who have sub-5% to nil east Asian they still have less ASI than Dravidians.

Then what's it replaced with if it's less AASI? The Sinhalese language is an Indo-Aryan language and it's closest language in the mainland is Bengali (Eastern Indo-Aryan languages), you can see on the genetic map (Sri Lankans) they're close to Dravidians. It's not mutually exclusive that you can be an Indo-Aryan speaker and have mostly Dravidian ancestry.

I'm not denying what you posted. I'm saying your conclusion that if we didn't have east Asian ancestry (I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Bengalis who don't) that would make us Dravidian. That's completely false.

By Dravidian you seem to conflate with South Indian. Yes we are closer to them (water) but even without east Asian input we are closer to ANI. You also have to differentiate Bengalis in the West and East.

Wth is dravidian? Bengalis belong to Indo European speaking people.

Like I said you're just creating a theory out your ass and I could pull the same for others if I wanted to based on the same chart but I'm not dishonest like you. Literally nobody else in the world says Bengalis are Dravidians with east Asian admixture JFL.

Precisely. That's why we have Punjabis who are genetically Dravidian as well, but they speak an Indo-Aryan language (Punjabi).

Bruh wtf is this? Punjabis aren't genetically Dravidians even if they share similar AASI ancestry. Wtf is this?

Idk why you're lumping in everyone with Dravidians today.

@JohnDoe

I didn't create it out of thin air, bud. I created it on basis of the genetic evidence that's right in front of you.

Also, ANI/ASI are ancient components, so no, you wouldn't be closer to ANI. You're closer to ASI and this PCA plot reflects that.

You're Indo-Aryan linguistically, but ethnically mainly Dravidian + some East Asian. Your phenotypes (on average) show this, too.

Not sure why you are accusing me of being dishonest; I said I'd provide proof that you'd be the same as Dravidians if it weren't for your East Asian admixture. And then I did exactly that. Where's the dishonesty here?

@JohnDoe

 

[LXR]

Personally, I can see the difference between East Asians and Africans as well. I may not be able to pinpoint them correctly, but I'm not going to say that they look alike unlike other ignorant people do. And yes, South Asia is very diverse from a genetic perspective; it's the second-most genetically diverse place, next to sub-Saharan Africa.

Yeah, South Asia is diverse but unfortunately no one bothers to learn more about it

Uh, yes some of us are definitely genetically Dravidian. Just look at the PCA plot, some samples cluster exactly with Dravidian populations. That's because Punjabis are genetically diverse. Some are AASI-shifted.

In Punjab there's Christians that have more AASI than the other 3 religions, there was another caste I'm forgetting the name of but I believe they did street sweeping or something like that and they have more AASI on average compared to the average Punjabi

The 40-50% AASI is the same range of AASI as Dravidians, that's why you'd be clustering with them. And even AI is repeating what I said about the component that makes you not cluster with Indians and Sri Lankans even though you have the same levels of AASI as them.

It's the same for Bengalis - you can go region to region to find different levels of AASI. It will differ.

Anyway AASI ≠ Dravidian. Having more might overlap but not necessarily.

Did you read correctly? 40-50% ASI and 35-45% ANI. I already said there is regional variation - I'm from the north east anyway. The hindus are in the West.

i'd give anything to go back to the days of you and justinzayns ramblings about this shit

 

[SecularIslamist]

I really don't know the point you're trying to argue here. I'm not denying what you're saying factually - but you are distorting facts to say "Bengalis are Dravidians without east Asian admixture". That's just completely false.

Then leaning on higher ASI genetic component relative to others like as if that's a defining factor.

It said 40-50% AASI, not ASI. There's a difference between ASI and ANI; we don't use those terms here. ASI stands for Ancestral South Indian whereas AASI stands for Ancient Ancestral South Indian.

See what AI has to say:

"The difference is that AASI (Ancient Ancestral South Indian) refers to the ancient indigenous people of the Indian subcontinent, while ASI (Ancestral South Indian) is a more recent genetic component derived from the AASI that also includes other genetic influences."

It's because of high levels of AASI that lands Bengalis on the Dravidian side of the PCA plot. And it's because the East Asian admixture that you're pulled upward.

What is the name of your region? I can look for some samples and I'll show them to you here.

I said "because of East Asian admixture, you're not clustering with Dravidians." That's it. Without the EA admixture, you'd be clustering with Dravidians. What you make of that is on you.

And like I just clarified, it's not ASI but AASI, they are two different populations.

But AASI is so influential that it pulls you away from Europeans the more you have it. It's really foreign to the genome of Europeans. That's why even Gulf Arabs cluster closer to Europeans than Punjabis do, because they (Gulf Arabs) don't have any AASI even though they look like they might have it. But that's a different discussion, this wasn't about "who's more European." I already clarified what this thread was about.

It's because of high levels of AASI that lands Bengalis on the Dravidian side of the PCA plot. And it's because the East Asian admixture that you're pulled upward.

ASI or AASI none of these are equivalent to Dravidian despite shared ancestry.

Again I'll ask - without east Asian influence do Bengalis just suddenly become dravidian?

What is the name of your region? I can look for some samples and I'll show them to you here.

Nobody said that AASI = Dravidians. But Dravidians have high AASI, and Bengalis have similar levels of this.

And no, you don't become Dravidian by not having the East Admixture, you're still Indo-Aryan linguistically. But you would cluster with Dravidians genetically. Dravidians, like Bengalis, also have West Eurasian ancestry (or ANI as you call it).

I'll check for Sylheti and Chittagong samples, gimme a sec. To get a more precise breakdown of the hunter-gatherer/farmer components. Gimme a sec.

Lmao I'm literally listening podcasts on biology not necessarily from a genetic / racial perspective (more investment / tech based).

The difference is I don't drone on about genetics and even care about it as much as people on here because it's just another cope. If we were Dravidians I'd be the first to admit it. We look Indian more than any other group outside India so why wouldn't I admit this?

Yeah I googled level of AASI / ANI. Do you ever use Google? Nothing proves what you say anyway.

Yeah beside rare disease and cancer, this will be one of the next big things billionaires focus their money on. I think GLP1 drugs like Ozempic are the first in a line of many targeting de-aging or anti aging. Added hundreds of billions to market cap of Eli Lily and Novo.

I can remember a podcast talking about this. Guys like George Church, Drew Endy and Andrew Hessel are good at explaining the impacts and trends of biotech on aging. Not necessarily from investment perspective though.
