Austro-Asiatic tribes of Northeast India provide hitherto missing genetic link between South and Southeast Asia.

Northeast India, the only region which currently forms a land bridge between the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, has been proposed as an important corridor for the initial peopling of East Asia. Given that the Austro-Asiatic linguistic family is considered to be the oldest and spoken by cert...
