[edit source]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. 2A02:C7C:AC91:E700:6543:CE56:F1EE:91B8 (talk) 20:17, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Kayani Ghakar into Gakhars
[edit source]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. Veritasphere (talk) 03:07, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
