Researched about Odisha's genetic composition cause i was bored, here's what i found.
Here the genetic composition of each Odisha's region individually **Northern Odisha** (Munda, Santhal, Ho, Bhumij) Genetic Composition (on average): O2a (Austroasiatic): ~35-40% H (Dravidian): ~20-25% R2 (South Asian/Indigenous): ~10-15% R1a (Steppe/Indo-European): ~5-10% Physical Traits of Gene Groups: O2a: Medium to dark brown skin, black straight hair, broad faces, wide cheekbones, and shorter stature. H: Medium to dark brown skin, wavy black hair, fuller lips, prominent cheekbones, medium to tall stature. R2: Medium brown skin, rounder faces, black straight hair, medium height. R1a: Light brown skin, sharper features, wavy or straight hair, medium to tall stature. **Western Odisha** (Gond, Koya, Binjhal) Genetic Composition (on average): H (Dravidian): ~25-30% R2 (South Asian/Indigenous): ~20-25% O2a (Austroasiatic): ~15-20% R1a (Steppe/Indo-European): ~5-10% Physical Traits of Gene Groups: H: Medium to dark brown skin, thick black hair, strong jawlines, tall stature. R2: Medium brown skin, broader cheeks, compact build, medium height. O2a: Medium to dark brown skin, flat noses, wide cheekbones, short stature. R1a: Light brown skin, angular faces, sharp features, tall stature. Southern Odisha (Dongria Kondh, Bonda, Saora) Genetic Composition (on average): O2a (Austroasiatic): ~40-45% H (Dravidian): ~20-25% L (South Asian/Indigenous): ~15-20% R2 (South Asian/Indigenous): ~10% Physical Traits of Gene Groups: O2a: Dark brown skin, thick straight hair, flattened noses, compact builds, short stature. H: Medium to dark brown skin, wavy black hair, broader faces, tall stature. L: Reddish-brown skin tone, round faces, compact build, shorter stature. R2: Medium brown skin, broad features, medium height. **Coastal Odisha** (Brahmin, Khandayat, Karana, Non-Tribal Urban Groups) Genetic Composition (on average): R2 (South Asian/Indigenous): ~20-25% R1a (Steppe/Indo-European): ~10-15% J2 (Neolithic Farmers/West Asian): ~10-15% H (Dravidian): ~10-15% Physical Traits of Gene Groups: R1a: Light brown skin, sharp angular features, wavy hair, tall stature. J2: Medium brown skin, narrower noses, lighter textured hair, medium to tall stature. H: Medium to dark brown skin, thick black hair, fuller lips, prominent cheekbones, medium height. R2: Medium brown skin, compact build, broader faces, medium height. **Central Odisha** (Urban, Mixed Populations, Rural Non-Tribal Groups) Genetic Composition (on average): R2 (South Asian/Indigenous): ~20-25% H (Dravidian): ~15-20% O2a (Austroasiatic): ~10-15% R1a (Steppe/Indo-European): ~10-15% Physical Traits of Gene Groups: R2: Medium brown skin, round faces, dark eyes, medium height. H: Medium to dark brown skin, thick black hair, full lips, tall stature. O2a: Medium to dark skin, broad cheekbones, flat noses, short stature. R1a: Light brown skin, sharp angular features, tall stature. **Summary of Haplogroup Percentages by Community/Region** Northern Odisha: O2a (35-40%), H (20-25%), R2 (10-15%), R1a (5-10%). Western Odisha: H (25-30%), R2 (20-25%), O2a (15-20%), R1a (5-10%). Southern Odisha: O2a (40-45%), H (20-25%), L (15-20%), R2 (10%). Coastal Odisha: R2 (20-25%), J2 (10-15%), R1a (10-15%), H (10%). Central Odisha: R2 (20-25%), H (15-20%), O2a (10-15%), R1a (10-15%). This is a concise summary of the genetic composition and traits of major communities and regions in Odisha.3
