ANI and  ASI have been estimated to have diverged from a common ancestor as much as 60,000 years ago, but the date of the  ANI-ASI mixture is unknown. Here we analyze data from about 60 South Asian groups to estimate that <b>major ANI-ASI  mixture occurred 1,200-4,000 years ago. Some mixture may also be older\u2014beyond the time we can query using  admixture linkage disequilibrium\u2014since it is universal throughout the subcontinent<\/b>: present in every group speaking  Indo-European or Dravidian languages, in all caste levels, and in primitive tribes.
