It is often used as a means to prevent forum shopping.

Genetics And Archaeogenetics Of South Asia
Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia is the study of the genetics and archaeogenetics of the ethnic groups of South Asia. It aims at uncovering these groups' genetic history. The geographic position of South Asia makes its biodiversity important for the study of the early dispersal of anatomically modern humans across Asia. Based on Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations, genetic unity across various South Asian sub–populations have shown that most of the ancestral nodes of the phylogenetic tree of all the mtDNA types originated in South Asia. Conclusions of studies based on Y Chromosome variation and Autosomal DNA variation have been varied.
