Facial reconstruction of Indus Valley people

[thejkhan]

A team of 15 scientists and academics from UK, South Korea and some other countries were involved in creating the facial reconstructions of these 2 Indus Valley individuals.

Which modern population do they most resemble?

I think genetically they would be closest to native people of Balochistan or Sindh province in Pakistan.

From which period are they? Neolithic?

 

[Riverman]

At first look I would have said Mesopotamians-Syrians.

they were an admixture, 87 % Iran neolithic + 13 % South Asia HG

they were an admixture, 87 % Iran neolithic + 13 % South Asia HG

But I don't think they have hooked noses

There is no Sumerian sample available today but early Neolithic samples from the eastern Fertile Crescent in the Zagros Mountains:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27417496/

It is likely that those people where a part of the Sumerian ancestry.

They had a broad and also long face, flat, narrow forehead. A slim, long, hooked nose. They had broad lips, a large mouth. Brown eyes, brown skin, wavy to curly hair.

What I can say just now is that they have little in common one to another! I'm not sure all details of reconstruction are reliable, even if I rely on the allover work. Nothing too close to today Baluchis, at first sight.
