XYQ12 :
Please learn the basic genetics before making these claims. A lower percentage of Iranian-related or Steppe-related ancestry in one person does not, by itself, prove more recent mixing, nor does it prove that every generation in that person’s family had progressively lower percentages in the past. An individual’s ancestry result is not a genetic record of every parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, or earlier ancestor.
A lower percentage also does not scientifically translate into “lower caste.” Caste is a historical and social classification, not a genetic percentage scale in which having more or less AASI-related, Iranian-related, or Steppe-related ancestry automatically determines someone’s caste. If you claim that a specific ancestry percentage makes someone Dalit or Shudra, then provide the Sanskrit text, chapter, and verse that actually establishes such a DNA-percentage rule.
My individual ancestry percentage also does not tell you the exact ancestry percentages of my entire family line. My grandparents, great-grandparents, and earlier ancestors could have had higher or lower proportions of AASI-related, Iranian-related, or Steppe-related ancestry than I ultimately inherited. I inherited only portions of their DNA through successive generations, with recombination reshuffling the DNA that gets passed down. Therefore, you cannot take my present-day percentage and project it backward as though every ancestor in my family had the same percentage, or use my percentage alone to determine when particular ancestry entered my family.
Most importantly, ancestry percentages are not caste percentages. Having a lower or higher percentage of one ancient ancestry component does not, by itself, make someone a higher or lower caste.
