Hint of Rakhigarhi DNA news to come

The Times of India reports:
Scientists are anxiously awaiting complete re sults of the DNA tests of samples taken from Rakhigarhi. "We took DNA samples from skeletons recovered from the archeological dig as well as residents of Rakhigarhi village of today. The initial results have thrown up scientific evidence proving that even as the civilization faded away , some people adapted to the changes and continued to live here," the official added, requesting anonymity as the full results of the research project are not out yet.

Now it is time for Sanscrut scholars at the esteemed institute at Pune to start correlating findings to Vedic era.

Should they wait until the findings are actually revealed?

But they can do research on the clues given before we find a prestigious journal to publish these data and the meantime Dravidian languages can be correlated to Sumerian who lived in lower Iraqi marshes and Elamites who lived high ground close by.Then everyone can be happy with new genetic results

I find the clues so far pretty Delphic.

I can imagine four possible verdicts on the DNA: 1)It's Ancestral North Indian (ANI), (2)It's ASI, (3)It's a mix of ANI and ASI, or (4) something else. If you really have inside knowledge, can you point to an option? You said earlier that it points to Out of India. If so, wouldn't that mean option 1?

If you're talking to me - I don't have inside knowledge. "Some people continued to live here" suggests a comparison has been made with a genetic profile of modern Punjab. However, a cursory search for a profile of modern Punjab didn't reveal any suitable publications to me.

Actually, I thought Udaya implied that he (or she) had inside knowledge.
