New Book Explores Ancestral Origins of People of the Indian Subcontinent Based on Their DNA

Mirroring a multifaceted subject matter, the book "Before India: Exploring Your Ancestry with DNA" is a fascinating, well-researched amalgamation of genres—part genealogical guide, part ethnic history, part science exposé—that draws a holistic picture of ancestry by combining these varied insights.

While this easy-to-read text is a perfect launching point for people whose ancestry ties them to the Indian subcontinent, any reader will benefit from suggestions on how to trace a  lineage to an ancestral group going back thousands of years.

The book includes a research study of the ancestral origins of several key ethnic communities in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, along with some communities of Indian and Pakistani origin in Singapore, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom.
