<div> Genetic History of the Kirati Tribes:&nbsp;<span>Kirati in Relationship with the Indus-Harappan and East Asian Population Structure</span> <br> </div>

<div> The native population of Nepali culture and languages is known as Kirati, for example, Limbu, Rai, Sunuwar, and Yakha, which belongs to Tibeto-Burman. But what is found in their blood? Until yesterday, it was not known where their ancestors came from. Today, scientific research has examined the DNA of the Kiratis and has determined the appearance of their ancestors to a great extent. The body of the Kiratis contains a mixture of blood from the inhabitants of two large geographical regions: 1. 60-70% East-Asian blood (DNA of inhabitants of Tibet, China, Burma region) 2. 30-40% South Asian blood (DNA from residents of India, Nepal, Bangladesh region)&nbsp; </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> Modern genetic research shows that a significant part of the DNA of the Kirati tribes of Nepal is closely related to the people of the Indus Valley Civilization (Harappan civilization), which existed about 4,000 years ago. This relationship is thought to be older than the massive demographic shift from Central Asia to South Asia-often referred to as "Aryan arrival". Because of this, the DNA of the Kiratis and many of the indigenous groups of South Asia is associated with a much older population. Their genetic history seems to be older than that of many of the present-day communities of North India.&nbsp; </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> The Kiratis are genetically descendants of the ancient inhabitants of South Asia, but culturally and linguistically they are closely linked to East Asian (Tibeto-Burmese) groups. That is a beautiful illustration of the ability to have the biological history and cultural/linguistic history of a community not the same. </div>
