title: Human evolution: the southern route to Asia.
abstract: Research on human origins has tended to focus on the origins of western Eurasians; only recently have genetic studies examined south and east Asian populations in depth. Recent work suggests that the supposed Aryan invasion of India 3,000-4,000 years ago was much less significant than is generally believed.
