Genetic and linguistic non-correspondence suggests evidence for collective social climbing in the Kol tribe of South Asia

Abstract Both classical and recent genetic studies have unanimously concluded that the genetic landscape of South Asia is unique. At long distances the ‘isolation-by-distance’ model appears to correspond well with the genetic data, whereas at short distances several other factors, including the cast...
