Table 2 Age estimates (in ka) of haplogroup M in different regions of South Asia: (1) using the raw modern geographic distribution and (2) considering the most probable origin of each major haplogroup and including only basal lineages of each region
From: A genetic chronology for the Indian Subcontinent points to heavily sex-biased dispersals
