== Low/No Central Asian (0%) The ancestry is not significantly Turkic or Mongol in origin. Distinguishes the Ghakhar profile from other South Asian groups further North or East that experienced later waves of Central Asian migration. High Iranian Neolithic The most significant non-South Asian component is deeply rooted West Asian. Confirms ancient, foundational ties to the Iranian plateau, pre-dating later historical empires. Mediterranean Trace Provides a unique historical marker from the Western sphere. ==

The DNA Timeline
These genetic components trace your lineage through the following major historical epochs:
Neolithic Era (~10,000 to 5,000 Years Ago): The arrival of Iranian and Anatolian farmer ancestry, establishing the agricultural basis of the region's population.
Bronze Age (~4,000 Years Ago): Later major influences (like Steppe Pastoralists) mixed with the existing IVC-related people, leading to the modern genetic structure of the Potohar region.
Classical Era (~2,300 Years Ago): Minor gene flow, represented by the Macedonian/Balkan trace, resulting from specific historical military and trade contacts. Rest punjabi heritage.

== Proposed merge of [[Kayani Ghakar]] into [[Gakhars]] ==

It is written that "... Kiani, is a title used by Gakhars", so it should have a brief mention in the article [[Gakhars]] rather than having a separate article. [[User:Veritasphere|Veritasphere]] ([[User talk:Veritasphere|talk]]) 03:07, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
