Based on what I’ve read before, you believe Y-DNA H in India is associated with the Iranian agriculturalists, correct?

Do you think it could possibly be AASI instead, and what makes you lean towards one belief over the other?

20% is R1a, so that's steppe

as for the rest, perhaps H is AASI, but C definitely is (found in patels)

What is the chart implying about the migration path of R1b1a1a2? Did it reach Western Europe via North Africa?

The Lake Chad results are fascinating. On reading the abstract of the paper you have linked here, the dates for the Eurasian migration into Central Africa seem quite broad - 5500 BC to 2700 BC. Why is that ?

Were they Indo-Europeans ? Is there a lost African branch of the Indo-Europeans?

I was surprised to see that Japan is so widely separated from China on the haplogroup tree. What are it's haplogroup neighbors and what does that say about the origins of the Japanese people?
